Honestly? No. Sorry.
Very nice coin, with attractive toning. I don't know anything about the VAM, but I do know PL: based on those pictures, the DMPL designation is...
Your answer:
I really don't know much about this area, but I would always make the assumption that counterfeits exist for everything - especially a high value...
Is electrolysis a generally accepted numismatic storage method? No. A coin which has been toned by the use of electrical current is clearly AT by...
Not entirely sure what drew your ire here, but I would define AT thusly: "Toning which has been accelerated or created through the application...

A "blank planchet" is definitely redundant and confusing. Review the terms: A "blank" and a "planchet" are two different things. Thus, to call...
What about the coin makes you say "Details"? I see a fingerprint, but that's expected on a circulated coin. (As are the minor rim bumps). I'd...
.... What is the "R" value?
And to me, "penny" and "cent" are interchangeable, equivalent, and equally acceptable. Do you get offended when people call the "5 cent" piece a...
No. S mint cents aren't worth a premium over any other cent - they were minted in very large quantities, and circulated freely (they were business...
