I did look at mine from enough angles that I am convinced the line is raised indicating a crack in the die. I can try to get some better photos it...
Everyone has his own opinion. And mine is right out there for everyone to see.
Here is a photo of my ASE's. You can see there are very many individuals and sets. The 2011 set is the set of 5 in the middle.[ATTACH]
Thanks for all the feedback. This is the first one I noticed on an ancient.
I haven't started working on this to attribute yet. But, is it possible that there are die cracks on ancient coins? Was it a similar process? The...
My 2 cents is above, here is come extra change. If someone offered me the 2010 in that slab I would just walk away. My first thought would be why...
Now that is a good idea. And we can watch from here.
I don't think cleaning it will do anything. The coin took a hit where the defective area is. Directly behind that hit is a bulge on the reverse. I...
The 2010 was struck in the 25th year of issue, but, it is not the 25th Anniversary coin. The 25th Anniversary Set was issued by the US Mint in...

That's when I quit and never looked back. I should have looked. I have 19 great grand kids I was making sets for. Really ticked me off. Thanks for...
It passed QC with lot sampling and all the other control features that any high volume manufacturer would use. If they had tighter inspections...
Sorry, I didn't make the connection. It is very nice and I thought mine was until I saw yours.
Thanks. That really makes a difference to me. And thanks for the pages on bust types. I have been looking for something like that.
I looked at that several times, but the curl on the headdress isn't as long. Is that something I should typically ignore? Thanks for your help and...
I have this Constantine I from Trier PTR Dot. I can't find the correct combination of features. It should be like this [IMG] but with PTR Dot....
So, I may have to stand corrected on some of this stuff. But, it is true that the mint stopped selling rolls of dollars to the general client in...
I have everything up through 2018 and then I stopped. The US Mint is just putting out too much stuff. Just like in 2000 when I quit collecting US...
