Beautiful coin. I suppose these were all struck by one or two dies. It can be difficult to tell how much luster is left when you aren't very...
I'm not really surprised the consensus is "moderns" but I've never really understood this perspective. I was as unhappy about the switch to base...
Cool. I like all the Icelandic coins. Some of these are really tough from what I can tell.
Most of the '74-S cents were actually mixed with Denver mint coins to be released in an attempt to foil hoarders. It worked reasonably well.
