Torn between DDO-002 and 007, leaning toward 002. The spread on IGWT is pretty strong on your coin, and the secondary O in GOD is incomplete, as...
You're not losing money on that one.
Either a hit or a spot on the mint mark.
OK, scoring one for "blowback", then.
I know, but for every scenario, you could probably imagine a way to mitigate the risk, even though it would eventually paralyze the business. For...
Many of their customers do, as well. I wonder if they'll get blowback because of this. On the other hand, if NGC or any other business for that...
This will be tricky. I'm not aware of who or what organization catalogs die varieties for $10 Libs, if any. Given the high mintage for 1881 and...
Always a popular variety, and all 3 VAMs are affordable into the low MS grades. The early die state coins are all rare, with the rarest being the...

The tail feathers on VAM 42 look exactly like this. You can see the extra tail feather tips at the bottom of the middle 3 tail feathers,...

Might just be a spot on the coin by the mint mark.
65FBL. Nice luster, attractive. Minor ticks on the face and coat, but the fields are quite clean. The slightly heavier reed marks on the bell...
Nice, wholesome look to it!
Here's a copy and paste of something I wrote on the subject of R-numbers a couple days ago on the VAMWorld discussion board It is a cool...
This was also in a time when the weight of the coin determined the value. If a coin was light from excessive wear, it might be rejected or...
As far as I know, no British gold has ever contained a denomination. Edit: And as soon as I clicked "Post reply" I thought of the commonwealth...
