Hobo, I would be interested. My sister-in-law who lived in Carson City just recently moved, other wise I would ask her to check. Give precedence...
Often many make the mistake over the statement that the mint mark was applied by hand, thinking that it meant that the mm was individually put on...
The Constans is a coin to drool over. Nice one! I guess I should check out Forvums agains :) Jim
hi, and Welcome to the forum! You are correct in that the center one has a color closest to new cents. As toning occurs from environmental...
I agree with that, BUT do a google of "America the Beautiful" and see others who think they have a right to use that specific phrase. From what I...
I am sorry not to reference my comment. http://coinsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/america-beautiful-trademark-owned-by-us.html I was saying that the...
They would most likely make them change from the "CC" to "CARSON CITY", which should be different enough. Of course maybe they did obtain permission.

Your assumption. I do not agree with any of the above, except I do not know about the "drying up" part. I do have a very hard time thinking that...
I am fairly sure they are not PVC safe. Sniff one to see if the have the "Vinyl Shower curtain" smell. If so, the plasticizer level is high...
Often coins with these types of rims occur because they were in a rotating container such as a clothes dryer. The rotational force causes the rim....
"Market Unacceptable"
Only if the metal is not grounded to the microwave tube. The early "Radar ranges" had metal lined cavities and metal racks, which were connected...
I guess I will remain a dissenter. The "doubling" , especially on the "A" in the one photo Larry quoted just above, appears more to be "scooped"...
Sure, no problem, but I have not seen that unless contaminated or reused acetone was the cause. But I am relying on chemical properties that says...
I think that would be classified as corrosion/environmental damage, where as when you look at the 1902 above, I see only tiny areas similar, the...
Separate names with a comma.
