I suppose that you are right. I spent the last 50+ years of my life in Upper Management of Manufacturing Quality and look at things a bit...
I like that kind of stuff. I don't have a Worlds Fair, bit I have a similar. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I see that. They are 20 years apart. Neat.
I think that if I were the manufacturer of those medals I would have a standard of acceptance and the product would be declared good or bad. I...
You, with enough experience, can look at a US Mint product and assign a grade. You know what the design parameters are. You know the acceptance...
Here are two more laminations. A 1920 P and a 1940 P. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I'm sure they do. However, how can we apply these grades, that were developed in regard to known design parameters, to the manufacture of metals...
MS and PF are terms that are applied to coins from the US Mint. Coins that the hobby has standards to measure them against. Medals produced by an...
I don't think that is a coin. And, I don't know the application of MS grades to medals.
MS means Mint State. That means that it came from the US Mint and met the design specified requirements and has not been in circulation. That...
No. I collect stuff because I like it and don't intend to ever recover what I might think the value should be. Look at the people that collect US...
I wouldn't buy it if I didn't understand the grade.
That is very true, Randy. And I like coins that had to work for a living. In the late 40's and early 50's a quarter was a quarter and it meant...
Here is another 14 P with several laminations. It looks like it went through WW I and WW II. Please, someone see a D on this one. [ATTACH]...
