I don't use albums at all. They are constraining, chemical laiden, allow slide damage to the coins, and are generally unattractive. I use 20...
Small images and it's a little difficult to tell everything needed to assess a proper grade, but from experience and what I see - MS64.
It is safe to assume this is always possible, but it is not 'likely' or 'certain'. Dies are switched individually when they need to be switched...
I definitely agree with BHP3rd. Any time we can teach, learn, and USE proper terminology we should - without laziness and acronyms that don't...
I have been cherrypicking small date 1970S cents for over two decades now and can tell you with 100% certainty that the top coin is indeed a small...
1. I'm not sure who you heard it from that the plan was to release these coins in an effort to spark new collectors. The actual effort by the...
Looks to me like a grease filled die scenario as well.
I actually joined here a few years ago and quickly lost interest due to a lack of participation. I was recently personally invited to return and...

Classifying die cracks and minor die breaks as errors might be a personal preference of yours, but it is not what the rest of the numismatic...
umm...nope. It's actually JUST a NORMAL 1942 cent. Nothing out of the ordinary as I stated above. The slight hump toward the rim is caused by...
The zero on the coin in question suffers from minor eject doubling, which is a form of machine doubling that occurs when the die is lifting off...
I'll expand. There is no such thing as an 'overprint' in coins, so your question would always be answered with 'no' because you aren't even in...
It is common. These are not errors nor do they bring any premium value.
Actaully none of the stuff in your images would be classified as 'errors' - it's all common anomalies of the minting process. In other words,...
Is the team you are looking for this player to be on an NFC team? Did the team exist in 1970?
Separation is not the only thing that brings a premium value. Lack of availability in any die variety can make it valuable. Some of the more...
Separate names with a comma.
