A Feeder Finger? https://sullivannumismatics.com/coin/ngc-25c-2000-d-maryland-quarter-struck-feeder-finger-unique
A gouge in a die causes a raised image in the coin. I would consider a gouge in a die as an incuse 'damage'. Sort of like a die crack, leaving a...
Very nice! The history of our world through coins--probably one of the main reasons I collect. When I was in the Navy (back in the 70's), I...
What I did not know about was the 'non-straight' line of the hoof. Makes sense. I looked at mine and it meets all of the requirements of what you...
I am not a PE (Professional Engineer), but I do have 30 plus years of 'engineering knowledge' and experience.
I did read your post. I choose to disagree with what you wrote. I was going to ignore what you wrote, until you wrote more... I am still...
Very nice coin. My wife bought me an XF40 back in the late 80s when our son was born. From this coin, I have learned much about the minting process.
You are welcome. With some collectors, I have had to go with: "We will have to agree to disagree." I am not going to spend energy trying to...
Yes, concave. It would be hard to polish something 'off' if it is concave. Over 95% of the coin collectors (many in their 70's and older) I have...
The die was not over-polished. If it were, there would be a 'larger' leg. Dies that were used to mint the buffalo nickel are incuse, meaning all...
Awesome!!! When does bidding open?
I sure would have liked to see the original 90% silver, maybe with a 1916-2016 date. But it is too late. And, as somebody explained a few weeks...
Looks like die damage to me. The raised 'design' metal goes through the star, but not deep enough to reach the incuse depth of the star in the...
There are some 'oldsters' out there who are not familiar with the Ike and 'smaller' dollars...
When you are good at something, or what some would even call an expert, it is human nature to take on an air of arrogance. It is one of human's...
I like Excel. What I do not like is anything that can let somebody 'not authorized' see my collection, via CLOUD or some coin...
Awesome app. I have been using the pricing and grading from PCGS for a few months. This app is really nice. Thank you much!
I have been able to put together a complete set. Very nice--lots of Fair and Almost Goods. They will be upgraded when the time is right. I would...
There are good videos on utube...grading, counterfeiting, and more. Along with COINTALK, I have learned much from the videos. PCGS has good...
