I don't see what's funny here. I see a guy selling an 1853 O Arrows and Rays Half that grades G, and appears to be original. The selling price is...
I would assume through the hole in the top. This is the typical method of getting things into and out of a jar. ;)
Some of the strips were plated. Some of the blanks were plated. What's becoming clear is that there is no clear answer. And what I'd like to see...
Sorry for the confusion - the "zinc coated strip" here was still electroplated, and definitely not galvanized. If you read Roger's description of...
Roger, my understanding from the book is that many of those methods were the experimental cents. Your book implies that electroplated blanks were...
Roger Burdette posts on the NGC and PCGS forums. I'm not sure if he's a member here, but I've alerted him to this thread and hopefully will be...

Cheech, do you realize that the posts you are replying to are from 2008?
