  1. Is there a known variety for this? Or is this a new discovery?
  2. 1. Is collecting coins the same as hoarding money? 2. Is numismatics an excuse to stay away from people? 3. Is collecting errors a way to highlight other people's and/or the government's inadequacies?
  3. ...and you think that makes it worth more??
  4. it is some type of strike doubling, not sure exactly what it would be called but it is not a double die to my eye
  5. nice die crack on that one. I doubt that it is a so called special mint set. It looks a bit like a proof to my eye. That is a proof and you know very well that it is
  6. I think That is either a token or a modern replica. It is not a cash coin
  7. As with any business Collectors Universe 's first mission is to make money. The board decided it is more profitable to sell now then to continue conducting business as normal. DI Capital Partners thinks that it is more profitable to purchase CU now. I have no knowledge of DI so I wonder what their thinking is . I expect their vision is different and there will be major changes. If they do not break it up to sell the pieces at a profit there will be considerable changes in management and procedure. This is something I have been expecting for a while now. We will see what this does to their reputation. Personally I expect some major changes in their market acceptance. We shall see.
  8. The technical term for that one is 'beat to hell' That one is definitely a spender.
  9. it is strike doubling there are several forms of strike doubling that are very common and have no extra value They are interesting and sometimes far more striking visually than double dies
  10. This is pretty easy, even I know it! in the upper right click on you name and it gives you choices look for profile
  11. I do not understand why you are confused. In God We Trust is written on the edge of the presidential dollars. Have you looked there?
  12. both are uncirculated coins with a lot of bag marks. The first coin has better 'eye appeal' but that does not always translate into a higher grade
  13. I have several things I want to say but I think one or more of them would be considered inappropriate or otherwise unacceptable by some viewers
  14. happy stuff yourself day! oohhh I ate too much, by the way asparagus in brie sauce is the food of the gods, without a doubt
  15. it looks like strike doubling to me. go to variety vista and compare it. if it does not match it is not DDO
  16. I respectfully disagree... Too many marks and tics and that reed hit near the ear is not very nice at all. Just a common coin in a common grade to my eye
  17. well, not sure I can line up behind that statement. I collect for pleasure not profit and a sticker does not bring me pleasure at all. If stickers and holders give you pleasure than I hope you enjoy, personally I do not care if some guy I do not know likes a certain coin or not, If I like it or not is my concern.
  18. just what I think The numismatic community is fairly small so the traffic would not be great I am not sure how many numismatic researchers or students would be comfortable with using a website instead of books, tombs, or codex or id it codices? I think that most internet users would not want to pay for the use as there seems to be a culture and expectation of free information
  19. I am often the low ball guess but this time not. I think it has some strike weakness and graded as a 63 or 64.
  20. I see what looks to be platting bubbles along the 'extra column' so I think you are looking at maybe some machine doubling along with plating issues.
  21. Why, yes I have Master Gliocas Gun Aon, I have. It told me a few things. First it says you,Master, should wash your hands once in a while before taking pictures. Second it told me that you should do more reading of actual varieties. Third it says one should know what they are talking about before posting common coins claiming they are extreme rarities that do not even exist. You should add it to your reading list.
