Is this the work of the mint or PMD? Thanks again.

mint made when rolling the stock out.

a coin exactly like this was posted at CU very recently. be careful.

you are welcome. i will pretty much offer an opinion on something, especially with as good as images as you provided. nj btw !

fwiw, i started a tracking folder on my notebook for all the errors (screenshots) i've been getting since c19 kicked in. not one single site i visit, none, have gone this whole time w/o various kinds of errors/site down. tbh, i think vamworld has one of the fewest error messages for me but i'm not h...

i would call that a bottom-bagger coin but it got such a high grade which means it probably just took some very odd very unfortunate HARD hit by something that just mangled that area of the coin. PMD all day.

nice it is a 66 holder tho.

edited to add. that cac'ed? WOW

are not more advanced testing methods able to sort out 99.9% of the counterfeits? going back to that time period, it was probably almost as expensive for counterfeiters to meet the mint specs on coins as it is for todays. so i have to believe that even the best of counterfeits can be sniffed out wit...

i gave NNP a try with a few versions of basin, basining, 1921 etc and it kept coming back to a guy staring at an empty bookshelf which is a first. seems i always turn up something related to my searches there. there are at least a couple other big online numismatic archives but the names/links escap...

i understand we are in a bit of an in-between time but can get we a sticky post with official updates, when they happen, for the fee structure, requirements, what we get, when it will start, where they will go. etc. please.

nice retained cud there!

lucky dog to find it already in a holder.

I assumed that the displacement below the die break which is lower than the base above the break would make it a retained cud and possible 1H3. technically, h2 MAY actually still be a retained cud (a crack going from rim to rim not too far apart even w/o discernable displacement) but for a vam list...

from all the images, here and on the pages, i'd say it is h2. the h3, has more of the chips broken away at S3 along with movement of the die, which causes more depth on the area around S3 and towards S2. there is something off about all of it, so i'm gonna pull some images and do some comp and come ...

I'm not convinced that the "Peg Leg R" is anything but an overpolished die, but I haven't really studied them closely. i am under the impression that is the general consensus, them being abraded dies. what have you heard differently? with the MANY stages on several dates, including proofs i've seen...

what makes 77 so scarce? leftover tiust 78-s die?

Total coinage of which there is no printed record $254,820 !!!

i've prob asked before. can you use a camera phone?

Pup-picker - Please explain. It's Overton 110. But that really begs more information. The photos do not show a clash from a half dollar reverse die - or any single reverse die. The relative positions of visible lettering and the motto bits do not match a coin. what fogie said. this(these) clashes a...

from a post at CU

for those that don't know, this is a pcgs gen 1 holder

Please take 8 seconds to watch this video of me opening, emptying, and reclosing a Small Flat Rate box in 6 seconds. Fortunately, all contents were accounted for when I received the box. Tape your boxes!
