There's much more to it than that Ryan. Every single coin is different, you can take 100 cleaned coins and they will all look different. Learning...
Mint Sets came in the cardboard holders from 1947 thru 1958, in '59 they changed to the pliofilm holders. Proof sets in 1950, the coins were...
Just keep in mind that that is just 1 rarity scale, there are many of them. And they are all different and have different meanings. And each...
No, they aren't. Yes the planchet runs thru an upset mill prior to strike, but all that does is slightly compress the metal on the edge of the...
You're right adelv, I'm mixing up my pictures. :o Still say it's a fake though. The dime is on top of the cent and that can't be - and still be...

They are now yes, but they didn't used to be.
There were 5 gold patterns struck that match the picture in Krause but I see no silver versions mentioned. Are they mentioned in Charlton LSM ?...
It's not a typo - it says $50 for Early Bird admission. This is common practice at almost all shows though it often cost even more. What it means...
Looks like post mint damage to me.
The Red Book as a price guide is useless, Coinage magazine as a price guide is useless - neither one of them reflect accurate prices. None of the...
