Well, nothing says Christmas like finishing off a year of price increases with an across the board clad coins price increase. Ho ho ho, Merry...
I have to say that this purchase experience went much smoother than the 2021 Morgan fiasco. They may have figured it out. ...either that or not...
Some more info they sent out. FYI [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes :)
The Mint is bumping up their prices, I see. [ATTACH]
Ha, wow. This almost looks like someone used a roll of cents as a punch, smacking the end with a hammer, and this poor cent was stuck in the...
I have to agree with @expat, the narrowing is a very strong indicator of machine doubling. The only thing that confuses me here is that 'E' in WE....

Only recently started collecting ASE's. Here's my first. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Wow, you really do see a difference with the laser etching, don't...

Hmm, it doesn't quite look like a detached lamination. Is it raised? If so it's probably glue from where it was stuck on a card or similar.
Definitely off center struck. I'm confused, though. How does the strike not depress the rim? As I understand it, the planchet goes through the...
Ah, a combination. I think it works well together - almost feathered. A good look, even if feathering went out in the 80's...
Is that toning along the obverse rim? Very nice - I love that look.
Deginitely :)
I would say PMD. You can see where something scraped down the face on the obverse, caught on the shoulder and pressed in, distorting the rim while...
