I can't say for sure, but on a new account they MAY authorize a charge of a couple of cents just to make sure the card is valid. Many companies...
To the best of my knowledge there is only one specimen known of the 96 JR-1 that does not have the die break, and it does have a fine die crack...
The Legislation does not specify that ANYTHING be moved. But like I said the new Sac dollar legislation DOES move the inscriptions to the edge.
I don't have a copy of Cherrypickers, but I would be surprised if they list and picture all five varieties. Howard's site is still the best place...
And it will cost $40 plus postage and insurance to get it into the PCGS slab.
The tilted second 1's are the result of contact with a "finger" on the crimper of a rolling machine.
The reason it doesn't affect the front is because the back is green made up of an ink that contains blue and yellow pigments. The chemical reacts...
SOME but not all of the fakes coming out of China are slightly magnetic. I have never seen one that was strongly magnetic.
The book that is replacing Schjoth nowadays is Chinese Cash Coins by Hartill. It has everything Schjoth has and much more. It is easy to use, if...

Don't misconstrue GDJMSP's comment to mean that NGC or PCGS would not slab toned coins from a mint set. They WILL slab toned minr set coins, and...
That's an unreasonable request. Even if it was real that coin could never get into a PCGS slab because of the damage. You've given him an...

The edges are going away? I doubt it. They just passed legislation for the Sac dollars moving the inscriptions TO the edge. And the amendment...
Thanks for the correction Leadfoot (Or course I did say it was only a 30 to 40 second attribution. :) ) I wondered why I mised it though so I...
Since all of the working dies come from the same master hub, either all of the coins would have a tilted 1 or none of them do.
I'd pay about $28 for a raw one, nothing for a slabbed one. It isn't an overly scarce item, and frankly I find it rather ugly.
The 1964 date was frozen on the coins and used for all of 1964 and most of 1965. The 1965 date was only used briefly in 1965 and for a couple...
It sounds like what you need is a device for predicting the future. I would suggest for best results, a high quality quartz crystal ball. If you...
Haven't taken the time to confirm it, but a quick 30 - 40 second look and I'm coming up with S-54.
Separate names with a comma.
