Are we reading the same post?
Man, I've got to start frequenting the we-buy shop near my house. At this point, though, I'm probably behind a line of twenty regulars.
That's actually even more interesting, considering that no 1916-D Barber dimes were minted...
LAST STRIKE!
Bookmarking this for further consideration of those "specific descriptions"...
I think we'll need clearer images to say if it's authentic, but it's definitely corroded.
If I did, they would only be links to previous CoinTalk discussions. :rolleyes:
Again, I'm not trying to argue that the HPA overrides or invalidates existing law. I'm arguing that its content might hint that those defining it...
Not so. It takes two dies to make a coin, and HPA only requires one side to carry the stamp, leaving one die unmarked and (by this interpretation)...

Wow. They ruled that a medal with no denomination and no resemblance to any official issue was in violation? That seems like a spectacularly bad...
That's not what I intended to argue. Instead, I'm arguing that those who wrote and passed the HPA wouldn't have bothered trying to define what...

Hmm. I was kind of expecting that they'd have dropped below issue price in the aftermarket by now, but I haven't seen it. I might consider it --...
"Dear Cointalk Forum, I never believed this would happen to me..."
For those following along at home, @cpm9ball only gave half of the recipe for success. Step 1: never buy "unsearched bank-crimped rolls" from...
It probably starts with not continuing to throw hay into the stall. ;)
I'm afraid his "1975" quarter, half and Ike restrikes invalidate that point.
Separate names with a comma.
