I always keep OGP capsules like the Canada one below, since they fit in the pages so nicely, just like the Quadrums. :) Same with all similarly...
What do you all think about taking the silver proof coins out of the '71-S Proof Brown Ike, and the '70 Panama 5 Balboas Proof holders, and...
I've got to make room and these have to go. The token name and Fuld #'s are on the label. Some of the tokens I'm surprised weren't graded (e.g....
But I see parallel series scratches on the bust device. Maybe it looks different on hand. [ATTACH]
So if at least some of those parallel series of lines were post-strike or post mint damage, then was it simply scratches that weren't severe in...
We do know for a fact that from the primary source, the US Mint, from their 1944 director's report (below), that the zinc coating's thickness on...
I was just browsing on the 'Bay and I saw this coin for sale. If these scratches aren't sufficient to give the coin a Details grade, then what...
Ok, thanks everyone! I'll keep coin #1.
The composition info listed on Colnect.com for the 1944 Belgium 2 Franc coin, which was made at the Philadelphia Mint out of the same planchet and...
This is an old thread... but I was browsing this thread while trying to figure this out, too. The exact steel composition was never mentioned, as...
I have these two 1922-P Peace Dollars with a "stronger" relief on the reverse than others I've had, and I wanted to get all of your opinions on...

Yes, that's a good way of looking at it. Unless someone points out an actual numismatic term for it, I'll unofficially call them "worn die...
I'm drawing parallels... As 'deep mirrored business strike coins are business strike coins', is to 'deep mirrored business strike coins are DMPL...
Ok from what I've read, damaged or not, it would still be highly collectible - that's what makes the most sense to me. I was thinking that if...
A business strike coin with deep mirroring is also called a business strike coin. But the specific categorization we give it is proof-like or DMPL...
But planchet damages aren't considered damage to the coin, per se, right? So if the base coin is scratched, but the counter-stamping was made...
So, once proofs are struck, they're not placed in chronological order, to be released from earliest strike to latest strike? I'm wondering if...
So the coin is a non-government issue, 9/10 carat gold bullion round (or fantasy coin)?
The premise here is that counter-stamped coins are, absolutely speaking from a technical, factual standpoint, not considered damage in...
