Okay, my perception of many may be slightly skewed. But, it's clearly a well ensconced idea, for generations of collectors.
His book came out in 2006, I think. This was before the proliferation of all the First Day and Early Release and hundreds of special labels. I'll...
At NGC there have been 11 Flying Eagle cents designated as PL (for the entire series), out of a total 8940 coins graded. So, they are actually...
Additionally, a significant portion of the attendance falls into the "higher risk" categories because y'all are all old ;)
Huh, I guess I had just assumed it would be cancelled. I was thinking of going this year, but I cancelled my plans. I'll be there in January,...
Lucky enough for me, I have a PL example of that one, too ;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes. Prooflike has been a widely accepted part of the grading standard for many, many decades. No, because, by definition, Prooflike coins are...

Remember, the 1954 to 1964 are silver. For a generic UNC, they're probably $3 each. For a generic UNC clad, probably $1 each - but we're probably...
I'd use a reliable price guide, judicious grading, and figure out what the value is. Without being able to see/grade each individual coin, I have...
MS-66, no FS, no star. Although, from what I recall of War Nickels, those steps are above average.
I don't have any pictures, but there are Malaysian money trees known as well.
Yes, that is an unusually high grade example. Nice color, and you can see the remnants of the sprue at both top and bottom. Cool piece!
- graininess - dentils - fuzziness of details - design elements mushy - chopmarks with no flattened area on the counterside - chopmarks which have...
