Re: 1927-D Oregon Commemorative (Daniel Carr Issue)
<< <i> << <i>Date aside, the 1923-D and 1930-D dimes are currency fakes of the Winged Liberty Head type. They were not counter-stamped on legal-tender coins. They were made to spend at face value for a profit. >> No they weren't! If they were made to be spent at face value, why picked a date that does not exist? >> You are… -
Number 59 and 60 in the SH Bust Quarter Die Variety Set
Hello folks, I had the chance to obtain 2 newps for my bust quarter die variety set and am now up to 60 of the 80 to 90 or so that I will be able to obtain. The 1821 B4 and the 1822 B1. Both came from auctions, and were right within my preferred grade rage of XF. I did not see either before bids were placed. For the 1821 I… -
Re: Anyone know if this Morgan is listed as a VAM
Great photos! Die cracks are extremely common on Morgans and were a normal, predictable part of the life cycle of the dies. As such, they do not by themselves -- except in very extreme cases -- result in a VAM designation. This coin falls into the first category... it's just a pretty Morgan with some normal die cracking… -
Anyone else interested in searching private residences, but worried about leaving little yellow patc
I'd love to search some local houses around here but am worried that I'd kill the grass. So, I'm thinking of searching in the fall before the grass dies anyway... Am I paranoid, or is this a concern? -
Re: When Do Clash Marks Become Grading Errors
Clash marks usually fall into the area of die states. It’s sort of like a doubled die coin, which is viewed as a die variety, not an error. There was a mistake when the die was made, but not when the coin was struck. As some else said, clash marks can appeal on many thousands of coins after dies are damaged. -
Re: Experts: Do proof High Relief Saint $20's really exist, or they are just because certain grading com
I do feel that there are proofs, but agree with Mark in that the dies may have been used subsequently. Roger has done a lot of research and if he found that they were not intentionally struck as proofs, then perhaps we have to fall back on Andy's thoughts that they may have been early strikes. -
Re: Morgan CC and O privy mark received.
Haha. I like them but would have been nicer if it was just a regular strike or just keep striking them with one die till it falls apart we could of had some nice clash dies, die cracks you name it now that would of been cool with some verity. -

Re: Is This Coin Really In A PCGS Holder
You're looking at a coin when there's a smokin' hotty like that one on the page!? The cel phone glued to her face is so you don't kill yourself lifting a receiver 600 times a day. My bluetooth headset died and I thought my arm was going to fall off at the end of the day. -
Re: What happened to the 144 Tons of Libyan Gold
Had two of those emails (Nigeria/Libya) wanting to get cash and gold out of the country... I have no idea why anyone would fall for these, however, they do, and some have died. Others have lost a lot of their personal funds. The scams are widely known, but still collect their suckers. Cheers, RickO
