There is only 1 known variety for the 16/16 DDO. But - there have been quite a few cases of '16 Buffs with mechanical doubling that were...
Yes, that gouge, scratch (whatever you want to call it) would stop the coin from getting the FBL designation. And even if it wasn't there, NGC...
Yes it is, but typically only in specific cases and only for specific reasons. And you should know by now that I personally have always, always,...
I shouldn't, I know I really, really shouldn't. But oh hell, I'm gonna do it anyway. Tom - if you can't recognize with your own eyes that...
Guys - did you not read what I said below ? Here's the scenario - Before, we'll say 1990 for the sake of argument, a mint employee would walk...
As with scratches and other sorts of damage, with rim dings it's a matter of severity. Rim dings are not just contact marks, they are more than...
Ben I get where you're coming from - always have. And not just you, but every other person that has ever talked about it or proposed using oils on...

I was kind of torn about what do about your post. My first reaction was to just delete it, for it appears as if you are one of the people...
Howdy Apples - Welcome to the Forum !! I enjoyed your post, and yes your collection does look great ! But rather than the security concerns...
Lot's of folks listen to you Thad and have a great deal of respect for your opinion, so when I read comments like this made by you, I always find...
Why they produce the satin sets is pretty simple - it's to set them apart, to distinguish the Mint Set coins from the business strike coins....
That's easy to explain - because they were paid to do so. PCGS does the same thing as well. And they don't do it just for the TV guys, they'll do...
I understand where you're coming from, but the '94 &'97 nickels you refer to did not have satin finish, they had a matte finish. Now admittedly...
Normally they are found well struck. But the next time you want to know about a Morgan you can always check - HERE
I always pick coins because of the way they look. On that basis I'd spend the first 2 and keep the last ;)
