If it were a '68 or some date that typically had small carbon spots I'd be inclined to overlook it. On a '74-P I'd be much less so.
The chances are extremely high that you have a typical set. These coins are made on different presses at higher force and lower speeds. Dies...
The three tax tokens are exceedingly common. Even in unc these aren't too tough. I'd have to check to see if they're scarce varieties. The...
Aluminum has been a common coinage material only since the onset of WW II. Coinage of most countries that didn't issue silver and gold coins...
THe small date is easiest for me to spot in the lower loop of the "9". On the large date it points down to the mint mark and on the large date it...
These are what I call the California sets. I believe they were made there but don't remember what led me to believe it. These tend to be...
