You can be a Mason and not be a Shriner, but you can't be a Shriner unless you are a Mason.
What is interesting is the authorizing legislation DID call for the use of the 1909 design (The one used on the 2010) to be used on the 2009 cents...
Looks like an in the collar (non-broadstruck) off-center quarter that subsequently got caught in the machinery and damaged.
The later 1798 and all of the 1800 large cent used reverse dies that were created from a complete master hub. But at the time they did not have...
I have heard of halves but not quarters or dollars. In theory it might be possible but I don't think any confirmed pieces have been found.
The designs you see on the coins are the designs as they were when approved. And the Cleveland News may have printed such a story, but if they...
It looks like you have a partial missing clad layer with a strikethrough in the same area. What strikes me as odd is that the missing clad layer...

I think the image of the love token is upside down. I see an E and either an I or J. The third letter is probably an O.
Even from that poor picture it is easy to say it is a poor quality fake.
They probably got the special label because they were submitted at the show. If you have a special label for the ANA show, it goes to coins...
That's fine if all you have are coins of Great Britain.
You must be talking about the second link. Everything from that site is fakes coming from China. The first link to the ebay auction in question...
I took a look at the completed auctions for 1990 no-S and there were several, including this Prestige set which has poor pictures but I am fairly...
Could be zinc rot under the plating too. Die chip?
