after serious consideration...n expenditure of a serious amount of research, i can seriously say that the ratios u requested would be X/Y n X+1/Y+1, i seriously hope this helps....

high point on reverse is where cord crosses her thigh....high point on obverse is isabella's cheek....u can determine if any/much wear etc....virtually none of these circulated...

received email...followed instructions...coins still not eligible, hit the "let us know" tab...will wait n see ur results etc.....thanks again

the only gem in numismatics is gem bu....gemology is down the hall n two doors on the left....

yes thank u...however the registry still will not accept my coin for the newly approved slot...nor will it accept my other three coins for the new slots in the greenland mining company registry category either, assistance please.....

first weigh it...33.4 grams, measure it...34.0 mm.....lighting in ur photos prob dont show its real color so cant go by that, has legit die characteristics...mint mark etc....if u r going to sell consign to reputable auction firm let them grade, if going sell privately needs be graded...prob come back authentic with details, appears to have been cleaned and/or lightly polished, not uncommon....

its worth getting graded, (1) just for authentication purposes, (2) a subtle difference of 1-2 grade points can make a significant increase in value as well....

interesting thread for the most part....since its March Madness time...ill go ahead n predict that all three of Stuart's rarities will exceed the estimates....

the european country dealers routinely avoid certification/slabbing for their own in country clients but like everything else they follow the money n for their US clients the TPG is the way to go....

1973 thru 1980 i believe, bout 3 million coins....

ur eye better?....almost spring time, be coin striking time before u know it.....

by cracky i agree with u....

the lines to stars right of date n left of E to stars r also...

the E Pluribus n the States Of lines r die cracks....

u can always go to the NGC Variety Plus listing....its free....gives u the major varieties that r recognized by NGC on both US n foreign coins...

thanks David....appreciate ur receptiveness on these, theres so few liberty seated quarter varieties as is......

I see that the 1855 ddo -Left was added to variety plus....is the request for 1855 ddo -Right being processed as well?....thanks

Ali E......thank u for prompt response to request for expansion on the Greenland Mining tokens.....will there be further slot expansion for the other denominations for the Greenland Store Co. tokens as well?...i have requested a slot for the 100 ore(zinc) which was just recently certified by NGC....thanks again....

Ali E......respectfully request u review n authorize additions to the Greenland NGC registry mining token sets...specifically, (1) the 1911 Greenland Mining Ltd tokens, three token set 10 ore, 25 ore, 100 ore....NGC cert numbers 2855899-010, 2855899-011, 2855899-012 respectively....(2) the Royal Greenland Co. Store tokens (zinc) 1894-1926...NGC cert number 2855899-013, these earlier tokens came in several denominations listed in Sieg, they circulated simultaneously with the Ivigtut 1875-1922 mining tokens which r already included in the Greenland NGC registry....these tokens r companion pieces to the Ivigtut tokens n r equal in collectability....thank u as always.....

probably not due to just one simple reason...most likely combination of diff causes...die fatigue, die erosion, possibly extra striking pressure coupled with both, design stress...many variables n possible combinations....but even if could identify the exact cause raises question of why in that location of the die....back to possible design stress...not knowledgeable enuf to scientifically answer, just off my head speculation...but both ur quarters r nice examples n the die cracks add to their interesting eye appeal...mite have been all that stress at valley forge that caused george to crack a bit...

DWL: both coins enroute usps priority express, submission for cert n variety plus per conversation...

most military lore attributes the challenge coins back to WW1 but not verified, there is credible evidence of usage during WW2, korean war n vietnam war.....there r stories of similar coin usage among military members as far back as roman era, but not in the same sense as challenging more of an award or recognition of valor etc....the short snorters usually were mementos of shared experiences as opposed to being used as member challenges, aircrew members, submarine members, tank crew members etc exchanged currency notes signed by all as mementos of their serving together or sharing a military experience....some short snorters have brought high dollar amounts at auctions depending on whose signatures were involved n the military experience...i recall hearing one from dolittle's raid brought a significant amount at auction, presidential short snorters usually do well....im sure if an enola gay note showed up it would do the same, i once saw one from the yalta conference that wasnt for sale....common ones with no historical signatures routinely sell in the $50 range....

liberty seated twenty cent, half dollars n dollars have stars pointed to the rim...half dimes, dimes n quarters do not.....

rainbow acrylic dvd storage boxes mite work for u....

challenge coin is accurate terminology n not merely an alliteration....mostly used in military organizations but also in some civilian fraternal n social organizations...
