Re: Will McGwire get more support this year?
Hopefully he falls far short and continues to do until the day he dies. Not that I hate the guy, I just dont think he goes into the HOF. I strongly believe that any and all juicers need to come clean and be honest to have even the slightest whiff of the HOF. None of this half-assed, I only took HGH one time, I smoked but I… -
Re: 2004-D High/Low Leaf Wisconsin Quarters
The production of each die falls onto a conveyor belt that takes it to be counted. By definition varieties are pairs of dies (die varieties) so this production ends up on the same or subsequent pallets which tend to go to the same federal reserve district and then to the same banks in this district. The WI quarters went to… -
Re: Is coin collecting a disease?
Addictions such as alcohol and drugs ie. heroin and fentanyl are diseases. At some point the brains electrical activity and chemistry changes and hence it becomes a disease. Drug addiction is a disease and it’s not a lack of impulse control or poor willpower. Nobody chooses to become an addict. 107,000 people died from… -
Re: Of possible interest to collectors of Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition medals and so-called dollars.
This is a 1974 official US Mint medal where the dies and galvano were produced by the US Mint, but as allowed under Section 4 of the law they were then released to a private firm, Interama Medallions to strike the medals for the Spokane Expo '74. An interesting graphic art design by George Tsutakawa. Clouds, sun, trees,… -
Re: Trying to determine which 1913 Liberty Nickel is which
Well, they do come with two different finishes. (The dies were probably polished a bit more in the middle of the 5 coin production run, presumably because the first coins didn't look so great.) So if you make the reasonable assumption that the one described as "uncirculated with proof surfaces" is one of the one's with the… -
Re: Miguel Tejada: Good Guy....almost Ruthian!
<< <i>Too bad the "good guys" aren't so good. . . >> For everyone who dies from smoking or drinking, how much of the blame falls on George Burns and Mickey Mantle. Everyone who uses drugs makes their own decision; everyone who stays away from drugs makes their own desicion. To suggest otherwise is an insult and helps to… -
Re: What is it?? Need help!!
Texas has a couple of big Renaissance festivals. The last time I went, there was a medieval "mint" set up, that was making coins like this. They had a guillotine-type press where they would place the planchet between the two dies, and then release a weight that would fall on the top die and strike the coin. I believe this… -
Re: sold
I tend to mock that which is difficult to understand. Your selling method falls under that perception. I'll back off though. I won't respond to your threads again. (And, unlike the promises you have made, I intend to keep mine.) -
Re: 1910 10 dollar Indian, any chance this is a proof? Updated 12-23
. @2windy2fish i haven't seen anyone post this, that i saw but unfortunately business strike and proof coinage can share diagnostics and therefore dies so those aren't always definitive for differentiation between them. so anyone reading, tread lightly and don't rely on just a few diagnostic marks shared with known proof… -
