If this is supposed to commemorate the Battle of Baltimore and the shelling of Fort McHenry/star spangled banner, they've got it coming out two...
Do they have any more copies? By the way, be gentle with it. Pages will be falling out of it eventually (very poorly bound) but you can delay it...
That's just the point. Other than the 1806/5 quarter and half NONE of the other US overdates are on a die that was previously used in a...
I did better on the price on mine, but yours is in better condition. Got mine as a library discard for 10 cents. Unfortunately I have no idea...
I am the WRONG person to ask that question of. I am a VEHEMENTLY anti-slab collector and I hate the entire concept of thrid party grading...
The Jewett reference is Mistrikes and Oddities in the LincOLn Cent and Other Coin and Currencies by E G Jewett. The fourth edition was published...
The mint has not struck coins for other countries since 1984 (Except the 2 Kronor piece for Iceland in the Lief Ericson set.) Being struck on a...
Possibly cleaned, I don't like to discuss cleaning or color or even grade from photos because they can hide too much and I have no way of knowing...
It wasn't that long ago that coins like that were going begging at shows for $2.50 each. Without the holes!
Actually there were very good reasons. They had dies on hand at Philly that had already had the S punched into them when the decision came down...

Why? The RP platinum is basically trading as a bullion coin which means that there aren't enough collectors of this coin to support a higher...
2548 is the first number for a 1923-S cent. It is followed by the number for a 23-S RD cent and then the number for a 23-S BN cent. Since the...
Must have played with the 1804 too much, it seems to have run away.
I wish the ANA guide would cite some specific examples because other than the three I mentioned I am not aware of any other cases where a die...
No, in posts 46 asnd 54 he is clearly referring to the 1828 he posted pictures of and calling it a C-2. From post 46 and then he posts his...
Amazing, you've discovered the first 12 star C-2 with 13 stars. Actually it is a C-3 but that doesn't affect the discussion. The dies are...
I will agree with Toad on this point. Pictures are very limited on what they can teach you. You can't look at different angles, you have no...
Separate names with a comma.
