Re: One of One? Or, PMD?
In short: no. This does not happen. If the mint were to deliberately damage or deface a die because it failed an inspection, it would simply be destroyed; they wouldn't carve ampersands on it and then strike coins with it. And if, hypothetically it did happen, then a "mark" carved or stamped onto a die would create a… -
Re: Do you trust AI?
My initial reponse to the OP's question was...trust AI with what, exactly? ...So I asked AI (Gemini) :blush: - PROMPT: Can I trust AI? Trusting AI is a bit like trusting a highly intelligent, incredibly fast intern who sometimes sleep-walks: you can rely on them for the heavy lifting, but you probably shouldn't let them… -
Profiles of Kennedy part 3
Well here is the third installment of Profiles of Kennedy. This one is a very long read, as there are lots of varieties. If anyone has any photographs that they would like to share of this date please post them as I have none to post, and of course if I missed anything please let me know. Now get to collecting them… -
I have questions about 1966 SMS Kennedy varieties and need answers from you Kennedy variety experts.
I looked at some SMS sets today at a local shop. Found two 1966 sets with Kennedies that interest me. Both have cameo contrast on both sides of the coin beneath haze. Thus I looked a little closer. Upon doing so I noticed that the motto "In God We Trust" on both coins are prominently doubled (I expect that the coins were… -
Re: 1827- the 10th Informative Picture thread about the Capped Bust Half Series- Post your Capped Bust H
The 1827 O-124 die marriage. I would like to discuss the specfic coin pictured later, but first let's talk about the dies and the diagnostics of this die marriage. The O-124 is one of the those Busties whose rarity falls on the threshold between "rare" and "very rare." The Bust Half Nut Club has refined the O-124's rarity… -
Re: Greece: is that the U.S. future?
Amassing $1.14 QUAD in unregulated and unbacked otc derivatives is not just doing what Wall Street does. That's a first for the USA and the world. If the govt had just allowed the financial system to fall apart from 2007-2009 that would not have been a very pretty outcome. But, the system would have started to repair… -
Re: Clemens banged John Daly's wife too
Stown, Your skin is quite thin. People 'goof' all the time what I wrote about. It is common to hear the saying, "talk off the ledge," "jumping off the bridge," etc... in sports talk. On one of the fantasy baseball sites they even have an article about telling people not to jump off the bridge due to poor Aprils. I didn't… -
Re: ?? 1909sVDB to slab or not to slab ???
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom. And it does seem like you are visualizing the type of plastic holder it is in correctly. I think I will try the eyeglass screwdriver. And thanks to all who chimed in and answered. It is obvious that I need to get it graded. I have seen raw coins sell on Ebay, and they seemed to… -
Re: 1964 Peace Dollar - PCGS Reward $10,000
<< <i>In the large cent universe there is a charming story about a famous collector (Mickley?) who was taken to the Philadelphia Mint as a boy. They were just wrapping up for the day, but the coiner had the press crew swing the screw press one more time and strike one large cent, which was immediately handed to the boy. He… -
Re: Old Mint records or Archives.
The short answer is yes anyone can walk into the archives and research their records. Being in the Virgin Islands may pose a little logistic challenge, however. Back in March, I walked into the Phila Mint archives. I registered which is required and took almost 4 minutes. How strict are they? You can't bring anything with…
