This coin has been fairly well known in the GSA collecting field and as far as has been confirmed it is the ONLY seated dollar that was in the GSA...
And most important, when they are MS with original color, they are yellowish silver in color never red. That was why another nickname for them...
Wow, six years since the announcement and I still nailed the number of PCGS slabbed fakes.
Impurities can also be dissolved gases, bits of slag, etc. Laminations exist on the pure copper large cents, and I do believe there have been a...
