They still seem to be "tweaking" the new slabs. The ones shown at FUN are not quite the same as the ones they are using now, they are different...
I now this piece exists. And I am sure this is probably the unique piece that PCGS slabbed. I do not believe that this guy actually owns the...
Actually if you went to a bank you would get 1912's or maybe buffalos. Even if you went to the mint you couldn't get 1913 Liberty head nickels....
It doesn't look like the 42/1-D dime. The "shadowing" below and to the left of the 4 appears to be machine doubling. As mentioned the 4 on...
If you won a single coin in the GSA sales it came in the box with the label on it that showed what the date was. If you were a winner of multiple...
True, but first they have to get them out of THEIR sock drawer and into ours. If they can't get them out of the vaults, they are a failure at...
The 99-S proof SBA became officially sold out about two years ago after almost four years of trying to sell 750,000 not two months. In the 80's...
I forget what the year range the hole in the Dansco covers but it is at least 1816 - 1839. The problem come from the fact that in 1836 they began...
Paper money isn't "dated" each year. I don't believe you will find anything with a series date of 1864, you'll have to look for series of 1862...
You may not get the grades until the 15th. Usually they don't enter the coin into their system and start counting until the day after it is...

Sounds like a clashed die.
Reread my explaination of what would happen to the initials on the die if it was hub doubled. It holds true for offset hub doubling or class one...
It has to be abrasion. If the blank had problems before the plating the zinc would all be plated over and the ridges would have been flattened...
Damage. It has been squeezed in something that looks like it had some letters on it. It is definitely not a partial coin brockage. because it...
I think what Tom has discovered is a well struck coin with a new collar. When the coin is struck the metal is forced against all the...
The fact that the initials show clear separation is conclusive that it is mechanical doubling and not die doubling. The key is that the initials...
As long as the existing plates are still in good condition they won't be changing the series letter. They are probaly making or have made new...
No it wouldn't. The galvanic protection only works if there is an "electrical" conection between the anode and the metal to be protected. The...
But you will note that he didn't cancell it but instead let it run. Of course if it was less than 12 hours before the ending he would not have...
Separate names with a comma.
