Most modern web viewers include a spellcheck and grammar feature. I suggest you turn yours on, and set it to "American English." Although, to...
It appears like the CC Mint Museum will be issuing official medals minted by Press #1, as part of the officially sanctioned celebrations. While it...
Oooooooh man. This is where we're going to disagree on the stars. On your coin, the obverse looks to meet the PL requirements. The reverse...
Is that a large over small overdate? Not the traditional overdate (such as 1829/7), but it counts! Why do you like that one so much? Does it...
That is absolutely my favorite kind of variety, and the only kind I'll buy. The Franklin DDR that I discovered has that same "see it with your...
Take another picture with this coin and a modern quarter. If the quarter is bigger, put the old one on top, if the old coin is bigger put the...
I'm really, really hoping this is something more. I'm really, really disappointed that NGC is developing this and sponsoring this for the ANA....
Huh, it's *really* interesting that you both chose 1844 RPDs! Whoever they had punching dates that year really needed to get fired - those are way...
Glad you brought that raised mound buffernick up: I would call that a "subtype." A subtype is an intentional design change, such as raised mound,...

My first reaction when I looked at the pictures was VF-20, so that's what I'm going with.
While I like the idea (and have long advocated for it), what's the difference between the NGC and ANA registries? It seems like NGC is footing the...
Yes, it is fairly common. I had a roll of Alabama quarters where half the roll all had the same cud (7 o'clock): [ATTACH]
The pictures are adequate. They are enough to tell that it is machine doubling, which is not worth any premium.
Nope.
Ebay, believe it or not. I bought it about 2 weeks ago, but the seller shipped it Registered so it just arrived today. I paid a slightly strong...
Machine doubling. Not worth a premium at all. On coins of this era, the "doubling" should not appear on both the date and mintmark. They were...
While the key diagnostic doesn't show in my pictures, it is clearly there when I look at it under a loupe.
Serious response: there isn't nearly enough red to make RB. There is no original red on the reverse at all (the reddish appearance is toning, not...
