Re: You have too see this error!!!
A "dropped letter" is a very cool find. I don't think you will find it defined under LINGO on this site, but it does fall under this definition: error A numismatic item that unintentionally varies from the norm. Ordinarily, overdates are not errors since they were done intentionally while other die-cutting “mistakes” are… -
Re: NGC being sued over "first strike" designation
<< <i>It'll likely be a tough case against NGC because it clearly and continuously published the meaning of "First Strike" as it uses the designation. Not everybody has that defense. >> The law typically uses a "reasonable person" scenario. What will a reasonable person think "First Strike" means. As for continual… -
Re: GB Hammered Edward VI Shilling ND (1551-1553)
<< <i>Without my Spink book handy, I don't think there are mintage figures from that early. I can imagine such documents falling afoul of the Civil War a century later, perhaps. I don't think there are are reliable mintage figures up until the 18th century or so, but that is a wild guess and I could definitely be wrong.… -

Re: US Approaching Insolvency, Fix To Be 'Painful': Fisher
In all the blaming the media pushes onto the American public about the economy, they fail to acknowledge the governments own waste. In late summer early fall of 2001 Sec Def Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon 'misplaced or couldnt account for' about $2.3 trillion of US tax payer money. And this story was overtaken by tragic… -
Re: Assay Commission Minutes available.
I collect Annual Assay Commission medals and bought your collection of Commission Minutes CDs last fall. They are a very helpful addition to the few research tools available. I just purchased a 1869 AC-6 silver medal. An interesting medal because of the die crack that occured in the first few strikes requiring a second… -
Re: My 1970's Mega Super Star Team...the HOF....and outright disgut.
Munson was not productive when he died. He had no power for the last year and a half of his career. His slugging % was down 100 points from what it was in 77. He was at an age when catchers declined, and he gave every indication of fitting the pattern. "Why Tony Perez and not Steve Garvey? What's the difference? There… -
Re: Going to a coin show with $5,000--UPDATE
