Well, I hate to just repeat the last 8 posts, but that's a terrible way to handle proof coins. The toning would have been great, except now it's...
The W mintmark, of course. I imagine that's the only way it will differ.
There's already been plenty of responses, but I'll give my two cents. I think many of the posters saying to leave negs or neutrals are buyers...
That is a very good resource. I use that along with this: http://www.auctioninsights.info/templates/index.html And upload photos to imageshack...

To me, it looks like it has a re-engraved clasp. Am I correct?
I'd say the pics are pretty big. The coin's about the size of a baseball on my monitor when zoomed in. However, cropping them wouldn't be such a...

2610 rolls. Translates to 52.2 boxes, but it's both customer wrapped rolls and bank wrapped rolls lumped together. I've put together most of an...

2002. But it's not uncommon to find NIFC halves in boxes. My NIFC finds so far: 1987 P 2 1987 D 3 2002 P 3...
