The P and S are raw, so your guess is as good as mine - literally! The D was in an ANACS MS61 holder. But the obverse looks just like the MS65 I...
This is pretty cool to see. Thanks for sharing - I learned something new. For an investment of one cent, I would keep it around.
I found this on the NGC Coin Explorer site: "The popularity of coin collecting in the USA reached a peak around this time that it would not...

Yikes! Great example. Won't there be a continuum of examples, from barely noticeable to profound, depending on how fresh the die is, how many...
I think the seller's photos were OK with the color. Here is a yellow post-it, so you can color-correct the image if you like. But you can also see...
Maybe I used the wrong terminology. As I understand it... Polish marks on the die would be caused by an abrasive material removing minute amounts...
The luster is most apparent on the reverse. In the photos it shows up more as a gleaming on the devices. The obverse has a more muted luster. I...
