From the images so far I think we may be looking at a tapered thin planchet.
Really? Matt said he paid 30 - 40% back for the government packaged sets. You got about 30% back for the CC dollars. Not that much difference....
In some cases terminal states will be listed in the standard reference book IF the series is widely collected by die variety and/or the variety...
KP sells ads, Littleton bought an ad. Big deal. I also get ads from them for Great Collections (Will KP be the next eBay?), Medallic Art,...
I see between 200 and 400 coins. Without more information about what is in the group I would have to assume common world minors, probably mostly...
They are not melting down SBA's, almost every one ever made is still out there somewhere. Everyone in the treasury is on the books as a dollar...
And what is their overhead? What percentage of coin do they send out that are never paid for or returned? I'm sure approval sales have a high...
Seems like a high price for a bottle of acetone. Will take all the stickers off but will etch the surface of the slab,

The cud on the obv is very distinctive and instantly says S-129 thru 131, The stemless wreath then says 131 or NC-8, The gap between the ends of...

having said bad things about Littleton earlier, let me now say something good about them. Littleton is an old company and their business model...
The dies would be locked in place with a set screw. The early die bodies were cylindrical so they might grind a small flat on the side of the die...
Thanks I missed that part. They sell the F's and VF's as VF's and XF's and charge XF and AU money.
Not a coin, looks like a charm and I suspect it is a modern made one.
I agree with everything except I started out as a Littleton customer and many of the approval items I received were overgraded. ALL of the US...
