I'd say FR02. AG3 still has some eye left, at least according to Photograde.
Congrats! Interesting wear on the reverse for the MM to still be obvious.
Some of those look like they were in the mint parking lot then sealed.
Would it not have to have happened after going through the upsetting mill though? Regardless, I don't really see it as a "mint error", whether it...
I imagine the trend started with the Columbian half (1892-1893), then the Pilgrim (1920-1921). Hard to understand with a large number of both of...
Looks like damage to me, it just happened inside the mint. I can't think of anything that would cause it that would be considered an "error."
Nice set, and I learned something new. I was vaguely aware of these but had no idea that they were minted for 6 years.
The bison seems like an odd choice.
I imagine there are more of these "hoards" sitting in European banks somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the double eagles at least...
Much of the info here https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-announces-contemporary-counterfeit-status-of-1896-o-1900-o. Many more identified since then,...

It is an interesting story. They actually had higher silver content than real ones, because silver was less than 50 cents an ounce and you'd...
Supposedly 3 graders at PCGS looked at it, and then CAC looked at it... what a racket.
What year is that Charlton? Have one from the 60s laying around somewhere.
These actually circulated. [ATTACH]
This one popped into my head. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where his girlfriend is gorgeous in certain lighting and elsewhere he goes...
Listing ended by seller. Maybe the Chinese figured any 1895 is valuable, grab me one of them reverse dies.
In principle that's the idea, but the fact is there is no criteria for urgency - you pay more, you get it faster, no questions asked. Same with...
I take it you had/have this one in hand? Gosh that fake is awful. I guess the new mantra is buy the coin, not the fake slab. Have we seen a faked...
It's funny (morbidly) that despite the enormous amount I pay in taxes, anything that I actually need from the federal, state, county, or city...
