I have a couple "low-priority" Danscos that I've been building sets in, and I've decided that when I buy key dates (which I haven't) like the 09-S...
There was a change in the reverse hub in 1968-70. Circulation coins from 1969-70 can be found with both hub designs. The transition was first...
If I felt I could rewrite post #19 in words you could understand, I would, but you've made it abundantly clear that it's not possible to do so.
Just because you can't understand the proof doesn't mean it isn't proof. Start by convincing one person here.
Then why haven't you? If you have compelling proof that is contrary to what I have shown that supports your and Dave Lange's opinion, it's...
I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
I think the lines are copper plating issues, not die polish.
Yeah, but you'll probably get it in such a manner that "medical retrieval" is required.
Your proof of the die progression is in the die wear.
Because Vesuvius is central to Niue's history, of course. [IMG]
OK, here are the pictures. Left side is the VAM 3 EDS coin, right side the normal VAM 3. Click for larger views. First, the mint mark, but that...
I will get photographic proof tonight when I have time, since I have EDS and LDS VAM 3 coins available. Of the 20,000 or so pictures I have on my...
Not that I know of, but there doesn't have to be. Mint marks were applied in Philadelphia, so this could have simply been repurposing an S-mint...
I'll use gloves when putting ASEs into my Dansco, otherwise I really don't like handling coins that way. They feel much less secure than using my...
Of course. I was speaking from a theoretical standpoint. Also, it was awkward to say that a second coin with lines identical to those on the...
Not exactly. Two coins with an identical pattern of lines tend to indicate the lines are in the die and not the coin, but if the lines are...
There is only one S punch size observed on dollars was the same from 1881-1898. 1880 has some with a larger S, and in 1899 they started using a...
There is really only one person that "refutes" the O/S mint mark. He also misuses the word "refute" when what he really means is "dispute." I...
Only three 1881-S VAMs really have a premium -- VAM 1B, VAM 54A, and 54B (with the latter two being different die stages of the same die pair)....
Lots of good stuff in that video. As requested in the OP, I'll talk about what I observed: 1. If you noticed how the grader and finalizer...
Separate names with a comma.
