I don't see anything in the pictures that jumps out at me screaming fake, but the picture isn't the best and there are always limitations on...
True but like I said EVERY die will evenually develop this problem, and the satin finish on the dies is probably rather fragile so the problem...
Daggerjon, that information about how "if the date and mintmark are both doubled it has to be strike doubling" only holds true for proofs through...
