Coin is way too small in those photos. Get closer and zoom in, and try to be straight on and not on such an angle.
Try the half on the blue and compare. I still like the blue better. Matter of taste I suppose. Black and silver makes it look like a B&W photo to...
Very cool. I also wondered, after the same thing happened to me 50 years ago, working in an ice cream parlor, guy comes in and pays with a crisp...
I like the blue more. Part of it perhaps is that the background size fits the coin better. The black one has too much empty space and draws my eye...
It seems like there are tons of reputable dealers with online stores to choose from. I have used David Lawrence and L&C Coins in the past.
All recent coin dies are made using single-press hubbing (for quarters since 1997 I believe), so traditional doubled dies no longer occur. But...
Thanks. Perhaps a lesson in recognizing AI - nobody on here said anything about weight or edge reeding, and the ebay listing was poofed a year...
Yikes, so much verdigris in addition to the scratches. I don't see how it could possibly get a sticker but I'm frequently wrong.
Lawnmower or garbage disposal is my guess. You should ask yourself - how could the mint possibly do this to a coin?
Authenticating the 1901-S Barber Quarter http://barbercoins.org/BQ1901S.shtml It appears to be die pair B. ANACS goes to tons of small coin shows...

Everything about this one screams counterfeit. Obverse looks to be plated over base metal (look at rim), missing hair detail, reverse image...
I think you meant medal turn, and I agree that the way you showed it is a better representation of the die rotation. You "coin flipped" the slab...
Wikipedia says "The U.S. Army used the basic Brodie-patterned M1917 helmet until 1942 with some modifications, which included a totally new liner...
My thought is that there could be a relationship between the two, in that a die clash is caused by two dies of hardened steel banging together...
Legally I think any auction house has to state that they allow shill bidding. So to answer your question for a specific auction company you should...
For US coins, my MVC is probably this one, 1900-S 10c PCGS MS65 CAC (not that I care about the green sticker). It's special to me because several...
Have you looked at a real one? What you think is a 6 is way too far to the right of where the last digit is on these. Collect what you like but...
Search "how to shrink a coin", lots of videos showing how it works. Example: [MEDIA]
I've only ever submitted to a TPG once, with ANACS and all Canadian George VI, mostly silver. From that one data point I agree that they're...
