Okay, I got some images of the "O" in GOD. First one is a brightfield image (light coming straight down on the coin), and the second is a dark...
There have been several missing mint mark errors over the years, particularly on proof issues. There are also the special mint set coins from...
I see what you mean by the filing marks now. There are also similar markings on the reverse around the rims, though not as pronounced. I just...
The image I posted is about the best my scanner can do. I however, have access to a microscope with an attached camera at work. It may be...
Since they are gold coins, and that you'll need to buy over 40 of them at a rate of 4 per year just for a complete run (ditto if you want both...
Looks like I linked to the thumbnail by mistake. Try this http://img114.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1921peaceko8.jpg
I know, when in doubt assume post-mint damage, but it doesn't look like a scratch, and if it was, it managed to get into the protected areas on...
Don't forget that some people will also crack open the slabs and resubmit, trying to get that PR70. Still, it's interesting that over 1/3 of...

I thought that the whole "You have to send in your SAE sets sight unseen and pay extra for a special label on the slab." was their next gimmick?
What we need to do is convince people to use the $2 bill also. If the $2 actually circulated, you would never get more than 1 dollar coin in...
I just fill them as I find attractive examples at a price I can afford. That's pretty much all there is to it. Just choose a couple of the coins...
I've got that album too, still filling in the holes. As mentioned, the tough ones to fill are the 1893-1895 Morgans, the CC Morgan, and the 1921...
1895-O Morgan Dollar in XF would be the most expensive coin I have, second (if you want to count sets) would probably be the 1999 Silver Proof...
Looks like he's talking about the $1 coin, which is the silver version. There is both an uncirculated version with a specially prepared planchet,...
Actually, there have been circulating US coins with edge lettering. Many of the early large cents and half cents had edge lettering. In some...
Good for me that they haven't sold out yet, because I think I'm going to get one after all.
