Seems like the system of first card from a pack or set was working for years. Did we have it wrong all those years? I think they pulled a fast one on collectors.

1861/0 half dime so called overdate
There are coins from four different 1861 half dime obverse working dies that have been called 1861/0 overdates. The diagnostics from the four dies around the date are exactly the same, supporting the conclusion that this was the result of a damaged date punch.

Re: Six billion pennies missing
The attrition on worthless coins is staggering. The penny is worth 2c face value but anyone worrying about amounts so tiny is not going to see the more important values. In order to have real value you'd need at least 5P. Perhaps the saying needs to be updated to account for inflation. The simple fact that people are… -

Re: The deal is done. And a fitting end. ("1964-D" Dollars)
<< <i>Dan, as a certified Ike nut I'm interested in the evolution of die cracks. Could you post photos of the failed die's earliest crack and how the crack evolved to the massive die failure you have pictured? And did the die crack-up gradually or all at once, quietly or with a "bang"? Is the die now in two (or more)…
