Supposedly the "lowest mintage of its type among modern commemoratives", highest number I can find is 21,335 and I'm not sure if it still holds...
Just giving you a hard time, it sounded like a Yogi-ism (Yogi Berra).
From the department of redundancy department. :) What's interesting to me about all this is that up until fairly recently, literally every die was...
Not to beat this into the ground, but here are two coins from one of the 1965 proof sets. This 1p has a criss-crossing pattern of polish lines...
Perhaps it's worth pointing out for others that I don't think it's a blanket truth that die polish lines can't occur on the devices, or continue...
Check out these several hundred 2009 1c listings https://doubleddie.com/92301.html and tell us how valuable they are. You seem fixated on the...

It's fun to look at coins with microscopes.
I think you missed the part where the bottoms of RI are in the denticles. Red lines below are pointing to features that are identical in both sets...
The RI in the rim has identical hits and lighting as the original RI, which is pretty much impossible. Has to be photo manipulation. Is it being...
