proof or business strike Morgan Dollars
What defines a proof coin? I received a Heritage catalogue of the Platinum Night and Signature Auctions, April 24-28, 2013 in Chicago. This included the 1913 Walton Liberty Nickel.

No better write up could be done that to simply copy Carlos Jara's summary of his book on Coquimbo. At present there are 13-15 examples of the Fine type (depending on duplicates in the census… -
Re: My medieval English coins.
