It's in worse shape than an old deer crossing sign on a county road in rural Arkansas. It's technically worth 1c, but you'd have to go to a bank...
I'll take the over, even if you meant it's 7 for each type.
Good choice. I have some ASEs in original packaging and some in slabs and I prefer the slabs. They take up less space and make it easier to look...
Even though the colors are a little later than the optimal, most vibrant colors, the textile coverage of the entire obverse, a few splashes of...
The two cents shown are as nice looking as they'll ever be. If they were mine, I'd look under magnification to see if there's anything that needs...
Wow! That coin is sick! Yes, it looks DMPL and it has a good strike, too. I've been adding commentary to the date pages on VAMWorld discussing...
63-64ish. Check VAM 9 maybe. The pictures aren't sufficient enough to verify.
The punch was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like all the other MPDs (and not just for Morgan dollars), there's no concrete explanation as...
It's the upper part of the flag of the 1. There are misplaced dates like this throughout the series starting with 1879. Search the VAMWorld Wiki...
Yes. A die crack is the common, thin little cracks we see everywhere. A die break is where parts of the die are missing, the cracks widen,...
Looks a lot like mine. The darker toning on the reverse makes it a little hard to read, but I'll say 65.
You couldn't be further from the truth. Die cracks weren't considered at all when work on the VAM book was first started in the 1960s. A few...
Between all the mint marks, privy marks, and finishes, what's the over/under on the number you'll need for a full set?
Great variety. The only appearance of that mint mark on a Morgan dollar.
Depends on the auction house.
If it was overstruck on an SBA, then I'd just call it altered. I'll allow it. ;)
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Back up the truck, a second. 1978-D SBA? Where did that come from?
People who have registered for the VAMWorld forum are familiar with the word "penultimate."
65. The hit on the cheek is keeping it from being a solid 66. Great luster, though.
The 79-S looks pretty "crunchy" on the face, so I'll say 61 on that one. The 87 looks less marked up, and the fields are pretty clean, but I...
Separate names with a comma.
