Sticky threads don't work well. If we had a sticky thread for every thread thought worthy - you'd have dozens of pages of sticky threads at the...
It also depends on the date of the coin, designs changed from time to time. And the various mints sometimes had minor design changes as well....
Learned something from this thread, I never knew that the upset mill had a V shaped groove. I always thought it was just a flat edge against the...
Ruben, I will put this in its simplest terms. If it cost the mint 6 cents to make a $1 dollar coin, and the mint sells that $1 dollar coin to...

Fair enough - now why ?
Ya know what the problem is with increasing prices ? Somebody is always, and I mean always, behind the curve. And quite often it is a lot of...
I'm afraid I have to agree - pass on that coin. It is flat, washed out - totally dead. It has been dipped to death. I doubt it would even slab at...
spock I think you've hurt yourself with all this thinking you're doing :confused:
No, because of the damage on the eagle's tail.
