What is a chronogram date? I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to.
Absolutely! This is the perfect sort of coin for an album.
A lot of the business at these types of small shows is dealer-to-collector. There will be some dealer-to-dealer, but much less than at a big show....

Do you agree with the grade? [ATTACH]
Haha, well played. But wrong ;)
Woah. You need to get your eyes checked!
Some good guesses, but nobody has got it right so far.
One of you probably called it a broadstrike, one of you probably called it an off-center strike. A broadstrike is any coin struck outside of the...
