It is a heavily polished or whizzed Mercury Dime. It's not a Proof. I don't have a 1938 Proof dime, but here is a 1936 Proof dime which has a...
I don’t see anything that would make me doubt it’s authenticity. The only thing I do see is the mark on Ms. Liberty’s cheek which could prevent it...
Hi Peter, I was looking in the "Wanted" section and was getting ready to respond to someone with some advice, when I noticed that I “have...
I like Proof sets and I have kept of collection of them on an annual. I have given up on the modern clad sets however. I only buy the silver sets...
No. There are plenty of old examples available. I don’t need this contrived piece of collector trash. The days of, “if we make, they will come,”...

Add to that a great many 1875-CC Twenty Cent Pieces are weakly struck on the upper part of the eagle's left wing and the corrisponding area on...
