This is a site I believe is run by a member here: http://www.novanumismatics.com/articles/feuchtwangers_composition_cent.php It has the die pair...

I knew I've seen that die crack before. http://www.vamworld.com/1889-P+VAM-9 (See pic 5). If the reed count is 189 that's a match for 1889 P. I'd...
A few other people caught that too, it's earned Jules his own video (with some added sound effects): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei_QQU2IHHE
Nice of Jules to hold the door for the woman in the scooter!
Indeed, I thought it looked like a die crack in the original pics, and the new close-ups seem to confirm that. To Rob, the problem is that a die...
There was a pretty interesting discussion over on the NGC forum about the coin. RWB (Roger Burdette) started it (he was one of the numismatists...
Definitely not a proof, proof like examples are very common for that date. Once you're familiar with Morgans and have seen a few PL and proof...
Two questions for the OP; Do you know the reeding count? For a '89-CC it should be 177 (though VamWorld lists 177 or 178), anything outside of...

As far as what to collect, from what you said it sounds like you want to start a type set. It would allow you to collect all different types of...
I'm confused. Proofs and regular business strikes are completely different coins. A proof coin, even if it shows signs of circulation (wear) is...
You don't say, I hadn't the slightest idea.
Here's a few, all VF:...
Like Tom said, that's die polish lines on the Kennedy, not hairlines (damage). Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish the two from pics, but in...
That type of toning is pretty common for ASEs that were in PCI slabs.
EOR was my first thought too. To me it looks like the obverse was thumbed (in the holder/roll) prior to the toning. If someone had rubbed/handled...
Great article Tom! Thanks for posting it.
