Haven't heard anything like that, do you have a source? It would be a good idea though, the sooner the better. What will happen to the ones in...
No, but that isn't unusual. Historically there have never been a lot of young people at shows. Loot at convention pictures from the early ANA...
I think it needs a complete rewrite. It rambles, doesn't make much sense, seems to imply that PCGS is the problem, and then in the last sentence...
Did you read my post?
Except there is only one coin pictured with the counterstamp running across the center of the coin (which would cause that flattened area running...

No comment on my observation about the dime?
I don't consider the 37 D three legged buffalo to be either a variety or an error, it is a die stage. The die was not like that when it was new...

Because platings tend to be very thin often expressed in how many MILLIONTHS of and inch or mm thick they are. For example the copper plating on...
That is a keeper as a nice "teaching piece" to show what extreme die wear looks like. 1983 nickels are often known for this and can be found much...
