Re: Which cent is scarcer, the 1922 plain or 1955 DDO?
If I were looking to buy or recommend either, I'd strongly prefer the 1955 doubled die - probably the grandaddy of all doubled dies, for its appearance and fame, it's a lot like the 1909-S VDB in that regard. Even "non error collectors" want to own it. The 1922-P is mushy and ugly no matter what. I think it takes its value… -
Re: Mint State 1880 Shield nickels and prices
As someone who has studied this issue in great depth, I second Conder's comments. There were only two obverse dies used for the entire issue, including both the (16000) business strikes and the (3200) proofs. The obverse dies correspond to Breen-2515 and Breen-2516.

Re: 1919 Mercury Dime - CONFIRMED: DDO Discovery Piece (Census in 1st post)
<< <i> << <i>I'm on the edge of my seat until you post the results. >> Thank you (and everyone else), I'm on the edge myself. The coin is off to Bill Fivaz, seems like the opinions have slowed down, some for some against DDO. So... while I and others wait for the experts opinion, let's play hypothetical for a minute to… -
Re: 38 D nickel FS or no FS
I understand what you are saying and I don't dispute that, but just because the 38 dies were not good enough to create a coin with full steps is no reason to create them out of thin air. Either the steps are there ore they are not, and on most if not all 38's they are not there, end of story. This concocted story on the… -

Re: New Blood
As others have written, "Proof" is a term from manufacturing process that differs from regular production coins that are made for circulation. The dies and the planchets (coin blanks) are polished, and in modern times the recessed part of the dies are frosted there by producing a contrast between the devices and the… -
