There is now a Die #4 (attributed by ANACS) up on Heritage. Can anyone give me a pointer to learn about #4??
Seems to me that slabbing (I assume you associate a professional grade with slabbing) serves a couple of purposes. One it protects the coin, but...
Yes but this seems unusual. First it is only on the "shelf" under the D. It does not show on the doubling on the date or anywhere else. Second,...
I just came across these and want to get some more knowlegable opinions. I think this is simply "machine" doubling on the date and mint mark....
That strategy doesn't work if you are already 70:o About toning, the answer is "it depends". Artificial toning almost always will reduce the...
I think it is the large date (Low 7) variety. Draw a line between the tops of the 9 and the 0. If the top of the 7 is below that line it is the...
I've always thought the new bills looked like someone spilled coffee on them.
One comment. A coin I bought arrived in one of the new self seal 2x2s. I had a very difficult time removing it. There would be a high likelihood...
Note I put coin in quote marks in the first post. There has never been a question that it is not legal tender. But is there any catalog or any...
I picked up this silver (?) round for slightly over melt. It weighs 31.1 gm and is about 39 mm in diameter. I am less interested in what it is...
I was prompted by the postings here to take a look at my newly arrived mint sets with a new (birthday present) microscope. I was surprised at the...
I just dug out three 1966's from my jar of "interesting" pocket change. They are all pretty worn copies, but all exhibited a difference in the 2...
This is the first I have heard of die pair #4. Where can I learn about it?
That is what I was starting to suspect, but then there is a 1922-D with no qualifier. Look at the PCGS price list and #2537 has that designation....
Exactly. That is why I assume when I see references to 1922-P they really mean (either as a shorthand or out of ignorance) the 1922 no D. But...
I am trying to understand 1922 Lincoln cents. I see the following referred to: 1) 1922-D 2) 1922-P 3) 1922-D Weak D 4) 1922 No D 5) 1922 No D...
Now that you know the 1921 Pilgrim is cleaned, can you point out to us how they picked that up? I can seen nothing in the picture that says...
One of the problems is that over long periods of time (we are talking tens to hundreds of years here) air can migrate through the slab plastic. So...
A quick bath would be - "Don't leave it in overnight". Take it out and lay it on a soft clean cloth, it will dry itself. Acetone is extremely...
As part of my education about coins, I have bought several cleaning solutions and experimented on pocket change. I can definitely recommend this -...
Separate names with a comma.
