Appears to be a mis-aligned die. The obv is off but notice the reverse isn't really. One way to tell for sure is, does the coin have a reeded...
Isaiah, he hasn't been here for four years so he probably doesn't care that he hasn't gotten any more answers. Second you are identifying his...
Looks like it has spent a lot of time in vending machines etc. It isn't the result of soaking in acid because an acid coin would still show the...
Isaiah is joking. He suggested SGS because they tend to slab everything 68, 69, or 70. Even coins that have obvious circulation.
The mint doesn't buy the physical metals, they contract with suppliers a year or more in advance for them to supply blanks or strip at a set...
It looks good to me from what I can see in the pictures. Two nearly perfectly centered passes through the edge lettering mill.
Dip steel into a coppersulfate solution and the copper will plate out onto the steel. I don't know if it would onto the zinc though so you may...
That's just it, the reverses do appear to be 180 degrees apart from each other, but I don't believe the obverses are. The rotation is slight...

One as long as they are handled properly I do not see this as damaging, especially if they tone nicely. In fact they could even become MORE...
Oh are these DOWN to around $3000 now? They were flirting in the $5000 range awhile back.
One new design each year for at least as long as the President series lasts.
In some cases it can be possible to determine the die variety and therefor the date. For most coins it will not matter that much as the value...
They will tone, but no one can say if they will tone in an attractive or unattractive fashion and they will most likely NOT alltone in the same...
And they would have to know WHEN the particular coins they were looking at were slabbed. If they were receiving them directly from the grading...
That's not the same gashed shield that I'm familiar with. The one I know has the gash through the horizontal stripes above the banner. Also used...
My favorite is United States Patterns and Related Issues by Andrew W Pollock. I feel it has a lot more information. Problem is it has only had one...
Separate names with a comma.
