Not sure what you mean by this...?
If 12.69 is barely within tolerance, I'd expect to see very few coins weighing that much. I might well weigh all my 1964 halves without finding...
Well, they would want the other eighty cents... :rolleyes:
You show a coin that supports the tolerance claim cited previously and refutes your claim of tighter tolerances. And you provide no evidence of...
Sooner or later, we all have to rely on deductions and observations, and often we have to rely on other people for them. You've observed more than...
There's a somewhat popular English saying: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." The claim that some 1964 half dollars were...
I'd say AU, possibly XF depending on how much of the reverse high-point stuff is strike weakness rather than wear. I don't see full split bands in...
[ATTACH] It's an old, beat-up cent. Possibly from an old and beat-up die, but with the coin itself in this shape, it's hard to be sure.
I've looked at DDO-001 examples here and here, and I'm afraid I don't see any match at all to your coin. Yours doesn't have the deep trench...
Ah, an excellent post today reminded me of this thread. (If there's discussion to be had about this point, though, let's keep it in this thread,...
Thanks for posting this. The Red Book is a valuable reference, but it doesn't contain all numismatic knowledge. Not even Google does (although, of...
Yep, those are all words, and they're in a row. In other news, colorless green ideas still sleep furiously.
So, who's going to post the annotated chart showing the twelve-hour tumble from $13800+ to $10400-? Especially that one ten-minute stretch where...
If "Rockwell test" coins are so rare -- and if they exist, they must be, because most experts believe they don't exist -- how do you suppose...
I would assume large dealers like this would not try to, say, shortchange their buyers by sending slick Barber dimes that are 20% underweight. I'd...
When I saw this headline, I thought Waste Mart was a sarcastic nickname for Walmart. I see that that isn't what you meant, but I'll probably start...
Perhaps it's time to discuss common-sense microscope-control laws.
The Red Book will quickly tell you the last year the coin was minted, but I don't think it generally has much to say about when they stopped...
Guilty of not clicking through the link. :rolleyes: I assumed "the same coin" meant the same unmarked copy -- but, AFAIK, eBay policy still bans...
Do you have provenance for these? Do you know how old they are? I'm reminded of the infamous Soviet 1923-D and 1930-D dimes...
Separate names with a comma.
