For the moment they are out of favor. Fine by me. I've just started a set.
That would give a new meaning to the term "blast white".
About 54 years.
Right now it's a guess. Last estimate I saw was about 47,000 struck. It's a gamble. If you wait you'll find out "how rare" and "how desireable"....
I find the "wood grain" planchet very appealing. That being said, I would not want it on my 1090-S VDB. But that's a personal preference. If...
A Coolpix 995 will meet your price AND meet your requirements. EXCEPT it's a bugger to use. Look for it on eBay since it's an older model. Make...
IMO, IHC's are not one of the less popular sets. I think there's a lot of activity there, possibly a spill-over from the Lincolns. I'm working on...

My experiences are only with PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, SEGS and PCI slabs.
LOL. Just about what I was going to say. Age causes a LOT of mistakes to be forgotten. I only remember the real recent ones, and fortunately there...
I haven't cracked one in a while, but I remember that some TPG slabs were harder to crack than others. I used a vise, a hammer and a screwdriver,...
And cleaned coins are not noted as such.
I'm reasonably sure you have a D/S. I compared it to mine and they are sufficiently similar. I have to re-image mine since I did it in the early...
