VERY nice group of coins. I'm still hunting for a couple Philippine coins from 1941 for my birth year set.
It's a die crack. And the coin looks like it's been cleaned.
Actually there can be problem situations for slabbed coins. Yes, they can tone in slabs. Slabs are not airtight so storage conditions can affect...
Thanks for the confirmation. I'm not used to wading through so many possible varieties. I'm used to the Classic Head half cents where the greatest...

After about 30-45 minutes I've got it ID'ed as an N-4. How did I do? [IMG] [IMG]

Now THAT is amazing!!! They were virtually ALL lost when the ship delivering them to Hong Kong was sunk by the Japanese. I thought the only ones...
I've got a Dahlonega half eagle too but didn't post it because this post was only about the Charlotte Mint coins. I wanted one from each mint just...
