The '38-O dime has the advantage of being a "two year only" type. Mine is the more common 1837. The '66-S half, although a bit worn, is the last...
A year or so ago while my wife and I were waiting to attend a presentation at the Smithsonian in DC we walked through the "castle". I was...
Here's the "in depth" description of the triple punched date" Triple punched 1, first and second 1 seen above the base, to the left and the top...
A quick look at Flynn's book and I come up with this. It's a KF-L5-TPD. - KF = Kevin Flynn - L5 = Large Motto, Die #5 - TPD = Triple Punched Date...
So think MS-60 pricing?
When imaging any coin, but particularly copper, make sure you have a black/dark gray, non-reflective background. You want the light the camera see...
Quite reasonable. I would suggest considering NGC coins also. I would expect the eBay coins to vary more in price than the other two sites,...
I have two real St. G's (No Motto and Motto). No, neither is a High Relief, never mind Ultra High Relief. But together they cost me only slightly...
My strategy: Don't buy. Don't get mixed up in this. Although I have a gut feeling that this coin could take off in the secondary market, at least...
I'm confident that the Heritage and Teletrade data you get is reasonable. I'd be interested to hear how you collect from eBay, particularly your...
The coin, if real and uncleaned, has about a $2000 greysheet value. That seems to me to be worth enough to be submitted to a major TPG for a...
Sure worth finding out. Stranger things have happened. I can imagine a seller tearing his house apart looking for that 1909-SVDB he KNOWS he...
The Spot: Unless it's debris (like dirt) or gunk (like PVC goo) they won't do anything about it. The Grade: Looks like it's already in a slab,...
IMO you would quickly find the task SO onerous that: - you would give it up as a lost cause AND/OR - you would lose the joy of collecting. Get...
High grade Jeffs in 1964 are tough to find. Looking at the mintage you would think there should be tons of them. Nope. The Mint went for quantity...
I agree. Appears to be machine doubling.
I debated that for quite a while and finally decided that I wanted to show the the coins in relative size. Of course that means the small coins...
I'm still not convinced, but I'm beginning to lean your way. What I see by the right hand is metal flow. But behind the left arm there is a hint...
Finally got most of my type set silver coins imaged and formatted. Still having trouble getting good images of coins with reflective surfaces....
Very well struck coin. The left hand is about as good as you'll ever see on a business strike. And I don't think that's a fingerprint. I think...
Separate names with a comma.
