There are no curved wisp like scratches coming from the nose. There is no crescent shaped gouge after the M The scratch you see coming off the B...
No.
Not a cartel member, but since all documented VDB MPL's have the same diagnostics it stands to reason this one would if it's an MPL.
I don't see one diagnostic that shows this to be a VDB MPL. On top of that the rims are rounded, not square and sharp as MPL's have. I believe...
Yes, at least in regards to Lincoln's and Buffalo's.
1958 Lincoln's in MS66 RD are going for well under $80. MS67 RD are closer to $1800. PCGS has only graded 43 out of over 3200 in that grade....
You probably think I'll say 66+ on both. :shame: Going by the photos top - MS66 - Reverse of 38 Bottom - MS66 - Reverse of 40, possible FS,...
I can see Ron's being a 66+. Mine was in an Anacs MS66 slab before I cracked it out and sent it to PCGS. PCGS gave it the same MS66 grade, weak...

Here are some diagnostics using my 1912, which is a Late Die State. The E in WE is doubled. [IMG] An Early Die State diagnostic is a die...
Mintages and die usage did vary through the years. 1910 had a mintage of 4,083 and used 2 obverse and 2 reverse dies 1911 (2411) had a mintage of...
In order to be a proof it absolutely has to have every diagnostic attributed to a 1912 MPL, not just one or maybe a couple, but every one. Why do...
The rim isn't the only area that needs to be flat and sharp. The side edge along with the edge that cuts down to the field needs to be at flat 90º...
Must be from the same roll.
I thought about you when I saw it in the news today. [IMG]
Doug, So you're saying all those curved and crisscrossed lines on those Lincolns I posted earlier in the thread are due to sanding and not polishing.

I can help a little. I have a group of 17 1959 cents that show 4 different dies with at least two coins with matching die polish lines on the...
