Nicely put. Thanks for the clear explanation and sewing this all together.
My apologies & thanks for the heads up. I had been following the thread earlier and then departed when it got into the petty bickering. Scrolled...
You guys might want to consider that the artist is not going for photo realism. Obviously the model is very nice looking, however in creating a...
Fascinating, and thank you for catching me up on digital history, but I still don't care. Will never be as valuable to me as a silver dollar that...
Yes, thank you. And I suppose your task of keeping things organized has plenty of gray areas, for example when a thread morphs from one subject...
Right on there. I heard that there might soon a physical BitCoin, though who knows why. But in 1000 years it might be the world's Chain Cent.
I do not disagree. It would make quite a display and even show historical design trends, so what's not to like? Only thing is, sooner or later...
Just as an aside, there was a story not long ago about a guy collecting expired credit cards. Somehow that seems to belong in the same category....

That leads to another problem: that of determining between actual Proof strikes and early Business Strikes from Proof dies. It's problematic,...
Nope that one has the beginning of the reverse die crack - just a short section, so it is attributed correctly. And although it's better to have...
Lol. Although I am amazed by how many related a subjects there are to coins in general.
Got it. For U.S. coins if it leans toward technical analysis start a new thread in U.S. Coin Forum. But in general it sounds like you mean the...
There is a fair amount to discuss here so I will use outline form for future reference, if desired. These are only topics for more research as I...
I see it there on eBay with the $10 starting bid. Note that the vast majority for sale are proofs. Of the three that I see that claim to...
Surely. One other error in that first reply - should have said 'reverse' for the die crack.
Apologies, should have said 'more often seen', not 'more common'. Although it's hard to imagine anything from 135 yrs ago with mintage of 6000 as...
The info on the PCGS CoinFacts page would suggest that this is most likely a proof that hit circulation. Note that on your example there is...
