What are the diagnostics on a Doubled Die Obverse 1934 Denver dollar? I cherry picked this one from a large group, but dont know what to check...
I'm a bit conflicted about this proof Jefferson nickel. The grade doesn't seem to match the details, especially on the reverse. And, for a proof,...
The lot set me back $106 for 86 tokens (including 3 So-Called Dollars with one of those being a prooflike R6). So, after doing a quick 2 parallel...
Hmm. Didn't realize I also picked up a 2nd, similar token in the same lot: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm trying to find out a little bit more about this token & place it in a historical context. It seems like the changing names of banks over time...

I have seen the other O/CC varieties, and this clearly isn't one of the several VAMs that usually bear the label. But, I can't figure out what's...
Pulled this from a cull group (it's got some graffiti/ wear). But there's something going on in the mintmark that caught my eye. On review, it...
Ordered one of the more common IH / One Country varieties with shattered obverse. Will post pics when it arrives. Might as well get a run of all...
Didn't one of the authors recently pass away? There may be issues with who has the rights to the name / previous / derivative works, and they may...
It looks like the shattered/clashed reverse is also known paired with the shattered obverse:...
From a process standpoint, how would that work? Would a series of planchets be run through the coin press with a blank die on one side to strike...
