The holder is actually recent. The serial number is from within the past year. The bulk orders are still using the pre-hologram sticker holders...
The first thing you'll probably want to know is value. To know value, you need a price guide and the condition. I would spend the $12 or so on...
That coin went through bulk grading. Regular grading has an additional set of eyes that I hope would have caught that. Peace dollars can get a...
Fear and greed are great salesmen.
What they're trying to claim by the ad is that since 80% of the CAC-approved coins in those two auctions were PCGS coins, you're chances at...
I have a couple "low-priority" Danscos that I've been building sets in, and I've decided that when I buy key dates (which I haven't) like the 09-S...
There was a change in the reverse hub in 1968-70. Circulation coins from 1969-70 can be found with both hub designs. The transition was first...
If I felt I could rewrite post #19 in words you could understand, I would, but you've made it abundantly clear that it's not possible to do so.
Just because you can't understand the proof doesn't mean it isn't proof. Start by convincing one person here.
Then why haven't you? If you have compelling proof that is contrary to what I have shown that supports your and Dave Lange's opinion, it's...
I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
I think the lines are copper plating issues, not die polish.
Yeah, but you'll probably get it in such a manner that "medical retrieval" is required.
Your proof of the die progression is in the die wear.
Because Vesuvius is central to Niue's history, of course. [IMG]
OK, here are the pictures. Left side is the VAM 3 EDS coin, right side the normal VAM 3. Click for larger views. First, the mint mark, but that...
I will get photographic proof tonight when I have time, since I have EDS and LDS VAM 3 coins available. Of the 20,000 or so pictures I have on my...
Not that I know of, but there doesn't have to be. Mint marks were applied in Philadelphia, so this could have simply been repurposing an S-mint...
I'll use gloves when putting ASEs into my Dansco, otherwise I really don't like handling coins that way. They feel much less secure than using my...
Of course. I was speaking from a theoretical standpoint. Also, it was awkward to say that a second coin with lines identical to those on the...
Separate names with a comma.
