Thanks for all the input! I've enjoyed all the responses.
I was compelled to try more close-ups of the mint mark with my terribly inadequate camera. I see how the D is more elongated, possibly exposing...

Very compelling observation. Thank you very much for this!)
Thank you, Mr. Ed. Also, looking, the only candidate for a considerably larger mm would be the half of that year (or the quarter from a previous...
It is my custom to photograph every coin of interest in a new purchase. Often, features appear in the picture that I hadn't notice in the flesh....
Again, thank you, Ron Sanderson for taking up this topic with me. Refreshingly, I have garnered one opinion within my circle of friends (who also...
I also did not rule out any post-mint manipulation. But searching the affected area and the corresponding spot on the reverse, I can't see an...
A wealth of information! Thank you, Ron. Still advocating for that one coin that would exceed the value of the whole purchase! I love when that...

Oh, absolutely! If it doesn't come of easy - dirt, axel grease, nicotine, it's not meant to be. Why was there so much axel grease around in the...
These are the "best of the best". I went through both folders and sorted them, choosing the best ones for the first, and successfully selling the...
This is the 1914-D in a 50/50 overlap with the plate coin on PCGS Coin Facts. The upper window is my coin, the more central circle is 100% PCGS....
Just piddling around some more with them today... For instance, trying to figure out what to do with this bad boy: I decided to swap him out and...
NO! Dawn strips away too much of the essence of the coin's patina! It has sodium laurel sulfate. And it turns the coin blue! (Ya had me at...
And, I find myself at the end of the journey! (I ended up successfully selling both the Whitman Bookshelf album and the Folder I had assembled...
