I hope your wife doesn't read this thread.
Definitely an acid job.
1921 & 1922 High Relief Proof Peace Dollars are High Relief because they were struck with High Relief dies, not because they are Proof coins. The...
Seems that you have answered your own question. Yes, Proof coins are struck two or more times under higher pressure than Business Strikes. This...
In general, no.
Medals are produced to commemorate a person or an event. The 9/11 medal commemorates 9/11. Bullion coins are produced as a store of wealth.
Yep, at first glance I would say a full brockage. What's with the huge dents in the coin?

I suppose anything is possible but somehow I don't think that is the case. If the poster was asking about 1982 no mintmark coins I would think he...

What you are describing is most likely several MADs (misaligned dies). Is one side a bit off center and the other side pretty much perfectly...
From your description it sounds like an AG coin plus it is a common date. I would say it should be worth somewhere around $25 to $30 or so.

Sorry but I can't make out anything with photos like this.
Nope. Not at all.
A good photo would certainly help. But to answer your question, does the presence of a wire rim mean the coin is a Proof? No. Wire rims are...
Sounds like a worn die. (Hard to tell anything from those photos.) Metal flowing along the face of the die will erode the die over time. The flow...
5 mp is plenty as long as your camera has a macro setting.
Go ahead and start your thread now. I don't think the original poster is coming back. She has not signed in to CoinTalk since the day after...
