A one per date set means that you can have any 1 coin of a given date and any mint to qualify. The other set requires all dates, all mints.
It makes sense that a blank would be a different color and toning. The struck coins have a protective coating to help keep them from toning. A...
No, it does not - at least as far as the grading standards in lower MS grades. In high MS grades, say 67 and up, yes it can detract from the grade.
S - F 15 and P - F 12.
Incorrect. When a coin is struck the design is not just on the surface - it goes all the way through the coin. So even with a lamination the...
Inspiration huh ? Well, how 'bout these -
OK, I'll be more blunt. That seller over-grades and over-prices just about everything. I would not buy from him even if his were the ONLY auctions.

There is something else that you need to consider David - the spread. For example, if you were to go buy an ASE today at $14 - if you took it back...
It appears to be a lamination error which were quite common for the series.
Never really said they did, poor wording on my part - but I do appreciate the clarification ;)
In truth there is no difference. It's just that some seem to equate age with value when in fact it is meaningless.
A chance ? Yes, but a very, very slim chance. Even if you examine the printed price guides there are only 2 or 3 ASE's that have any numismatic...
Not true, they sell coins every day - by the roll and the bag. Partially true, the mint sells the coin to the Federal Reserve. The Federal...
What happened was it got deleted. Coin Talk is not the place for two people to settle a personal dispute. And that's all it was, with you calling...
Yes
This is what I don't get - why ? They always have. From the very beginning the mint has made Proofs just for collectors, and sold them for a...
