It looks like it could be a small die chip. If it was a cud there would be a raised blob of metal that starts at the edge of the coin and extends...
I'm pretty sure the 1870-S $3 on display in the Bass Collection at the ANA Money Museum is not slabbed. If it is in fact not slabbed that would be...
I'm a big fan of 'Buy One, Get One'. (BOGO. Get it?? :yes:)
You will get better results if you start a new thread rather than asking your question in a thread that has nothing to do with your question....
Conder, that is my understanding, too. I will find out for certain in a little over three weeks - I am taking Rick Snow's course (Flying Eagle &...

Sorry but you guys are wrong. First the blanks are punched out. Then the blanks are sent through the upset mill to apply the raised rim which...
50% to 60%. Hard to say exactly because your photos cut off so much of the coin.
Kennedy Halves are heavy and the reeding on the edges can get flattened and worn away over time, especially if used at a casino.
Not an RPM. Sorry.
Genuine examples can be worth several hundred dollars. Based on the poorly-formed lettering on your coin I strongly suspect your coin is a...
Great. You will learn a lot in your Intermediate Grading course.
Congrats on your scholorship. Which week will you be at Summer Seminar? I will be there both weeks. Look me up while you are here.
