The answers are rather simple - the '28-S, they used two different mint mark punches - they are not all identical. As for the large and small date...
There is no difference. All it is is NGC and PCGS - they each use a different designation. It's kinda like DCAM and UCAM.
I wouldn't argue with that. But those 2 things account for about 95% of all the coins that have been slabbed. And as long as that stays true, the...
Does the government/us mint publish distribution numbers? No, they don't. Mintage numbers are about all we get. When they are not...
I'm not sure what page you were looking at, but correct mintage numbers for all Proof American Eagle coins can be found - HERE. But only up thru...
5x is enough. If anything, the stronger magnification actually makes it harder to see.
They've explained it several times on the NGC forum. Pretty sure you could look it up there ;)

Howdy ritzfam - Welcome to the Forum !! Let's just say I would not recommend those sellers ;)
It's probably just toning. You can literally find coins in any color you can imagine, and in some other colors that you can't imagine.
Somebody at your bank doesn't know what they are talking about - the Fed can't make them order anything.
A worthy endeavor :thumb: I worked on doing the same for years, was never able to complete them though. I insisted on only owning completely...
Well not exactly. The Fed only distributes coins that are ordered by the independent banks. If there are no orders, not a single coin is sent out...
If you don't like the coin, return it. Because if you don't like it now, you're gonna like it even less 6 months from now. I'm not really sure...
Separate names with a comma.
