Been thinking about it too. There are so many ways you could do a first/last collection. I've been collecting the Barber dime hub type...
Actually it's "893" which the article on the first page here says is a mystery. One theory is that it refers to the fineness, but why? I'm...
No offense but that's clearly AI slop. "a faint, incuse (sunken) or raised" - it can't be both. I've seen AI say the same exact thing about die...
I'm still not sure if I've wrapped my head around it but basically it seems that a coin is slowly getting struck onto the opposite die through the...
Progressive Indirect Die Transfer aka ghosting - https://www.error-ref.com/progressive-indirect-design-transfer/. I'm guessing that by...
Trivia you probably already know - engraved by Charles Barber and minted in Philadelphia. I need to get one of his Cuba coins myself.
I suppose you could do the first SF coins too. Cents not until 1908 and nickels 1912 for example.
I hate to give "the government" too much credit, but the Board of Governors submits print orders every year and "the print order reflects the...
There's a hint of them above the bridge on the left as well.
It looks pretty extreme and I could not find it on cudsoncoins. Might be worth checking there yourself (more thoroughly than me perhaps) and...
Isn't the OP talking about an inauguration medal? The 250th anniversary thing has already been discussed elsewhere. (IMO the design is hideous).
My daughter worked food trucks for a couple years in HS and during summer. They went through stacks of fresh $2 bills. At the weekly food truck...
You're mixing up your idioms. "At the drop of a hat" means you're willing to do something without hesitation, immediately without a second...
I'm confused. Do you mean redesigning it? The print order for $2 bills this year was 307,200,000 to 416,000,000. They have never stopped printing...
Definitely AI.
Cool! I'll be on the lookout for those and the other two. I think I still haven't gotten all of them from last year but I'd have to check, they're...
Oddly I live only about 60 miles from the Denver mint, but we never seem to get the new coins showing up until May or so. It's kind of a small...
Sold, $101.76, 2 bids. Can't fix stupid.
It took me a while to figure out that the triangle inside the ear is the rear of the beaver's front paw. I suppose the inner ear is fairly shallow...
No idea where this goes - world, error? nah, just a coin chat. I was browsing Canadian on GC and immediately saw the strong obverse die clash on...
Separate names with a comma.
