The obverse rim just to the left of the 2 not being struck up seems to indicate tapered planchet. Pity the tapering looks like damage on the...
Especially the ones that require you to take a picture of the screen with another camera. I usually make it a point to ignore those pictures when...
I managed to spend three full days at FUN this year. Good times reconnecting with other VAM collectors over dinners. On Friday, David McCarthy...

And then the Director's Strike™ coins will actually mean something.
I'm intrigued, but not hopeful. They're switching to a laser engraved master die rather than CNC. Will this give us additional sharpness that...
