I would be more inclined to put the blame for that on Amos Press and Coin World. The main thing that prevented the start up of the scam artist...
That still wouldn't fit. Nickel strip run through the cent blanking press would result in planchets that weigh 4.02 grams. Not if you rolled the...
I can think of two possibilities, one would be a finned rim, the other would be a collar clash. If it is a finned rim the outer side will be...
That's true, but only about 1 in 100 Americans care about whether or not they own one. So that means not everyone who wants 300 of them can have...
Nothing special, but the P mint coins are mostly distributed east of the Mississippi so about the only way they get out to the west coast where...
So was it CuNi or bronze? From the left side weakness I was thinking CuNi. (The rounded bust comes on both.)
A brockage error is the same size and shape as a regular coin. It will easily pass through the same equipment, counters, rollers, etc.
I wish they wouldn't cale them struck on foreign planchets unless they can explain where the planchets came from. The mint only struck or made...

Impressive coin and I don't think it is a proof. I think the residue will come off and you're going to have a nice coin. Congratulations. As...
I think it is a very good deal and you folks are undervaluing that 1794. Even dateless 1794's with no reverse can bring $75 to $100 retail. That...
I've always kind of liked my idea. Will them to the local coin club as trustees. The coins are turned over to them with each coin in a sealed...
If the date really is 1865 then I would say it is most likely a fantasy. A law was pasted in late 1863 that outlawed the production of these...
I don't like the dentical, I don't like the rims, I don't like the mintmark, and there are a lot of tooling /spikes coming off the denticals on...
Problem is those are replicas.
Yes it would have been by a LARGE margin. The break point is about $800. Less than that First class insured is cheaper, higher than that...
No, and I believe No.
A collar cud or collar break would show a lump on the EDGE of the coin. The pictures in the OP do show the edge of the coin and there is no lump...
We shine the light and like many he refuses to believe.
Separate names with a comma.
