Thanks for that info. I stand corrected.
That looks much better than VF in terms of detail.
Those are an old favorite of mine, too. They're quite impressive in hand.
I see nothing unusual. It looks sharp. The striking inconsistencies between the two sides are not uncommon. In this particular case, I'm not...
Yes. Our US Statehood quarter series did raise interest quite a bit in the general public. As of the millennium, they were some of the few...

PMD. Counting machine damage.
Reeding. It looks like PMD (post-mint damage) to me, from some kind of machine.
It's not off-center enough to be worth any premium over face value, but yes, it is a very tiny bit off (like 1% or less). Could just have been...
