Are those the ones JFK struck personally on a visit to the mint? :)
Oh OK. Sorry I wasn't thinking about the motto on the ribbon. Yes one ray goes through the first U and one through the last U in UNUM and then...
I wouldn't say so. All of the early lettered edge large cents, half dollars, and bust dollars all came with both letter orientations as well and...
I don't know of a list of tolerances online, I get mine from the Coin World Almanac, 1990 edition pages 339 - 342. I don't know what a Jolly is...
Yes N-3 The leaf point far right below the F in OF nails the rev. That rev was used on N-3 and N-9 but on N-9 the 18 is much further apart. N-3...
Sorry Tim but calling the Secret Service won't do any good unless the seller is physically located in the US. Our laws don't apply in China and...
A 1965 half on a coppernickel clad planchet would be impossible unless the half dollar planchets were punched from quarter thickness CuNi clad...
Get ahold of a set of Kennedy halves from 1964 to date and really look at them. You will find that the obverse hub design has changed at least...
Probably an over polished die. The eye if the deepest part of the design, almost down to the level of the field. This means it is about the...
Latest book on the early dollars is a revision of the Bolender book written by Jules Reiver. The title is The United States Early Silver Dollars...
Same answer as in the error section, no it is not.
No that is a close AM.
Huh? Description makes no sense. None of the rays go anywhere close to the U or the N and they never have.
Both obverse and reverse dies appear to be misaligned but not in the same directions
And you will see even less of the old holders in the future. Once the coins are pulled out and slabbed the holders have a tendency to get "lost"....
But can you imagine what would happen if they tried to do "at the show grading" and kept the fees the same as the regular submission level? They...
Did you miss my post where I mentioned they have already slabbed one? And if they didn't want to get involved, why are they offering $10K to see...
First question, What does it weigh? In grams to 2 decimals please. Further advice will depend on the answer to that question. Alternate...
Close, Same rev but I'm coming up with 254. 3 is higher with the corner embedded in the bust and the RT are closer together than on 255.
Make that should take them and I will agree. A lot of banks will refuse them because they just don't want to fool with the redemption process.
