Those are usually splotchier than this. It also looks like the basket prong at the top protected the coin from toning there.

The dies were reversed for 1921 Peace dollars. The obverse was the hammer die for these.

Slabs are not impervious to gasses. This one may have spent some time in a hostile environment, maybe intentionally, maybe not.

There is no indication that these were not SF dies returned to Philadelphia. Reverse dies could be, and were, carried over from year to year at the branch mints.

Looks like just a worn mint mark. I don't know of any convincing repunched mint marks for Peace dollars. There's a 27-S/S listed, but I haven't seen one and the pictures aren't clear. Ok I will get some better images, but you don't see the shelf between the two stamps in the current images? If you'...

Nice! Usually these are found in VG-F.

Not attributed on the holder. Someone posted it on a FB group this morning. 2nd finest known. I can put you in touch with the seller if interested at $9500

Great find! Congrats!

I can't wait to see this one. It will sell for Big Money, but not more than the 86 die cap brockage. 40-50K for a GSA CC 25% off-center feels right to me. Then again, if it's the only GSA off-center being sold into this market, 75K wouldn't surprise me

Never heard of the term "grand snake". Does the article show a picture?

If you're talking about the vertical band of stuff on Liberty's face, that's not a pitted die. That's damage to the coin.

Look at varietyvista.com for this stuff. That's where the official CONECA numbers are illustrated online.

Too many zeroes for my wallet.

The date was completely in the hub for 1878, so there are no MPDs. The stuff by the wing is just some light pitting.

Would a different test produce the same results? https://my-personality-test.com/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us-m-45%2B&utm_content=ad3&fbclid=IwAR1IzhKZjDtqw-nKFqNB62BAiOCB2DIVDQ40HEbd6mDmmDd0MrDIdIi7li0 I believe they’re mostly all based on a study done long ago, but I forget...

had a great show. picked 1891o v3a2 au58, 78s vam 78 die 4 ngc64, 78s vam 69 ngc64, 1890o v14a ngc62, 1878 v143 pcgs64, 1888 denticle clash reverse ms63 pl, and some great doubled dies and toners. I even sold coins! yeah, i was at my table for stretches of time. food was very good, and i got to see...

It is more pronounced. It matches the original VAM 1L. So which is it? The fact that it is difficult to say leads me to think the best solution may be to scrap the current 1L1, 1L2, and 1L3 and create new ones as I mentioned above, yours being 1L3. It wouldn't really be that disruptive, since most ...

The listings are a bit of a mess, to say the least. All cite the die break at AM, which should really only be on the late die stage. What makes sense if there are to be 3 stages is (1) scribbles on a fresh die, (2) die break not fully developed, (3) full die break on M. The other stuff is noise and ...
