Notice how the extra images are reversed? Where on the regular image a depression ( such as between the columns) on the extra image is raised....
Actually there was nothing bad about the coin if you look at honesty in advertising. I think he is close to the grade of AU. Lots of dings. Didn't...
Wayne Miller in his "Analysis of Morgan and Peace Dollars" said that"
From the photo, it doesn't appear to be a DDO. Both -001 and -002 dies show the doubling mainly on the "LIBERTY" and Motto rather than the date,...
Sometimes things aren't as simple as that. It might seem logical that an unique item should be worth a large amount. But there are many factors,...
Maybe I just saw the results from circulated coins, and there wasn't much luster. If the student used a coin cleaned up with the scrub pads, it...
If you look at the angles of what you see as the third ear lobe, it is different than the 1st and the 2nd lobes ( the latter two angles match...
The actual chem experiment says to clean the coin well before reacting :)
I believe it is the FS-01-1984-101 DDO. The doubling looks correct, and the marker die scratch from the vest to the "1" seems visible. Nice coin!...

The cleaned designation is bad news, but the fact that it is what it is, and considering how you got it, should make things much better!
Many people type faster than their cognitive brain thinks, letting the Limbic region ( emotional brain) do it. It is easy to forget that thousands...
Gentlemen, lets not ignite this. I can not see how anyone could be a stalker on a forum, following your posts and answering is not like following...
Sigh, here is my unfortunate example of similar, except it is a 1960 D/D RPM-100, sm date/large date DDO. :( Jim [IMG]
It would be interesting if someone has a collection of PCGS numbering books. I don't think they would change the base numbers. When they add a...
Ok, I hunted down the PCGS Coin Numbering Sytem. Their number used on the submission sheet for the 37-S Buffalo is 3983, so the 39 part does...
