Does anyone have a photo of what actual counting wheel damage looks like? If so, then we could compare it to the phantom damage on the two coins...
It is not mine Rusty. I needed a large picture of a Mercury Dime with incompleteness in the peripheral lettering so I borrowed one from Heritage....
I agree 100%. These letters are often found weakly struck as are the reverse lettering, particularly the "TES" in STATES. I have owned dozens of...
Poker
I agree
You know I own the coin, right?
My numismatic white whale is the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel. I am currently on my 7th coin and still not satisfied. I just don't like the luster on...

Now that is the first time you ever used that date. Let me get this straight. You are saying that the PCGS opened in 1986, loosened their...
I used the same numbers you did, I just transposed them into a spreadsheet. It is apparent that you have never heard the expression "dig your...
Ok, I have to walk that last statement back a little bit. I meant they did not change standards with the exception of the time they admitted to...
Anyone else hear that? [MEDIA]

Separate names with a comma.
