If the host coin was genuine, it is still legal tender and could be exchanged at the mint for a dollar under their mutilated coin exchange...
Jackie Robinson could not be reached for comment. Anyway, I don't mind the chosen Liberty with torch and flag design, but she's posed as if...
No basis to judge authenticity of the underlying coin from here, but I have to wonder where the extra weight 0.3+ grams would have come from on a...
I'm using Photoshop, but GIMP should be capable of this. Put the two images into separate layers. Change the opacity of the top layer. You may...
Yes. The light on the two you had posted was too harsh in some places and too dark in others. This is the first picture with a little bit of the...

I have to wonder if the engravers at the mint that actually have talent feel insulted when committees mostly lacking people with artistic talent...
And here I thought it was a tribute to a certain someone's language skills.
Not buying every (fill in your favorite rare coin here that has experienced dramatic appreciation over the past 20 years) I could find 20 years...
Well, it won't come back as an 84-S. That much I can guarantee. My gut's telling me AU details, cleaned.
For me, unspotted coins in plain old MS/PR69 holders are preferred. They're far less expensive, essentially of identical quality to the 70s, and...
