How about a nice history lesson on the different types of grooves/reeding used on US coins?

This is it, the last one.

Have not seen much regarding shallow vs deep relief (artistic depth) on U.S. coinage, both modern and older issues. Lots of discussion regarding the artwork (or the lack thereof) on particular coins, but not much about how relief ties into the quality of each manufactured design.
Topic examples would include the butchery of modern U.S. coinage which began in ernest in the 1990s, but would also include historical coins such as the Peace dollar or the Liberty nickel series both of which also suffered from shallow relief.
One can only imagine what a Liberty nickel with the Buffalo nickels relief might have looked like! I believe it would have been one of the nicest designs ever!
though i do have an 1857 .25 counter stamped GAB that was supposedly from Gentle Annies Brothel in Chicago from that era
Had to have it,my initials are GAB and i was born in 1957

Like these ? I think they have been mentioned a couple of times. Most I understand are reproductions.

We've been there and done that. In a nutshell they're all fantasies and fakes though there is other ephemera.
