Welcome to the club, it's pretty small ;)
He can't tell you because of forum rules. But all you have to do is look in the advertising section to find out ;)
The very same people who pay outrageous prices for obvious counterfeits, harshly cleaned coins, altered coins, who grossly over-pay for countless...
But there's a reason for that. Back then all Mint Set coins were taken directly from business strike production runs. Compare that to today's...
Can't say one way or the other. NT and AT both could easily have toning go all the way around the coin.
You'd be surprised. It's happened a few times. 1909 cents are a perfect example, '64 Kennedy halves are another. Everybody hoarded them.

I'll be there tomorrow (Fri) for sure. Anyone that wants to meet up please send me a PM so we can exchange phone numbers. That'll make it easy for...
It was quite a few years ago, say 10 or so. Of course there was always a subset of collectors who were fond of chop-marked coins. But as it did...
LOL ! Exactly what I was gonna tell him ;) You'll find out soon enough Jason, the learning will come even if you never speak 1 word to your...
Not really, the smaller coins were a lot easier to carry around.
Wasn't any art, or science, or anything else in my case. Was nothing but blind luck, pure chance. Only reason I found it was because I knew what a...
The thing about blue on copper is this. It's not that it's so unusual, it's that it's so easily reproducible. Dip any MS copper into MS70 and...
