DDD = Die deterioration doubling. It comes from overuse of a die. It is poor quality control, not a variety nor an error. 

Easter is March 31. April 1 is the day after Easter. Orthodox Easter is May 5. 

But only if they knew what they had.

Sometimes the older vocabulary is without peer - knuckleheads. Perfect.

It has my vote.

Larger dies were more likely to have invisible defects due to improper hardening, annealing and tempering.

Especially that last one. 

Not in my opinion, no.

Dan Tony Carr Montana, is that you?

So if I hear you correctly, you seem to be saying that JA has been caught talking out of both sides of his mouth. “Gambling in Casablanca? Rick, I’m shocked!” Say it ain’t so!

So @GoldFinger1969, what is so sad about obeying the direct order of the Director of the Mint? His instructions are not ambiguous. Or is it your contention that numismatics is entitled to engage in lawlessness and skulduggery? What is the reason it would have evaded the 1933 Roosevelt ordered surrender? Or are holders of gold entitled to be criminals?

I was once at a Friends of the NRA dinner in Wyomissing, just west of Reading, attended by about 700 people, and just casually counting, I counted 50 or so doing open carry. 

I guess you noticed that the most brazen theft at a coin show ever happened in Illinois, during the pre-show “dealer day”. 

Learning to grade, I submit, runs a close second to learning to ATTRIBUTE, that is, knowing what one is, AND IS NOT, looking at. 

But NGC recognizes none of them. And to me, Wexler is NOT a reliable source. I realize that many disagree, but I have decided for myself.

PUHLEEEEZE put the screened microscope away.

VasquezJ is just one more in an unbelievably sad string of people who simply will not listen. Ignore him.

The big Dealer Day theft at Rosemont ANA in, I believe, 2022 or was it 2021? It led to incredibly expensive security updates at all major shows. And it may very well eventually spell the END of free admission shows. SOMEBODY needs to pay for all this security. 

Was he a citizen? It’s New York, so he’s probably a registered voter, but I ask again, is he a citizen? Yes, I was a county Election Director for four years. I can’t TELL YOU how many non-citizens tried to register to vote because “they were allowed to” when they lived in Brooklyn or Philadelphia. 

My state no longer uses embossed tags, rather, completely flat. My Feb25 registration sticker was printed on a laser printer. My last PA tag was embossed. I guess they need jobs for people carrying arms without a permit.
