Oh I agree the 69s can't drop much more. But the 70s still have a ways to go yet. Problem is people have refused to believe it for 10 years now....
All you have to do is go to Heritage and look, it's all there. Generic gold, that is defined as common date, in MS63 sells, and has been selling...
I'm sorry but you are very confused about the processes used for the making of dies and coins at the US Mint. Coins are never frosted after...
Wood and velvet both are terrible ideas. Do not store coins in them. If you want to protect your slabs that's pretty easy to do. Just get...
More than anything Irish, my opinion is based on the fact that prices for 70 coins have been steadily dropping for about 9 years now. I see no...
There is a vast difference between an ASE Proof die and an ASE Unc die. Yes, both dies are polished - every die, regardless of what type of coin...

OK, then show us some pics of the W mint mark coins that have this dot, and then some pics of the no mint mark coins that have this dot. We need...

In this particular case that coin was damaged by a rolling machine or a counting machine. That's about the only things there are that create those...
For years it has seemed like the mint is its own worst enemy when it comes to providing information to the public. They either publish bad...
No, it has no significance. As already stated the raised dot in front of the arrows would serve as a die diagnostic, but that's about it. It is...
I'd say low AU on the dime, damaged and ungradeable on the first cent, and low AU on the 2nd cent.
How about one I used to own -
My guess as well.
