  1. Dear Mr. W. H. Brett, In what various ways have people actually obtained your misstruck coins? Can you be specific? Was it through lack of your security, walking out of the mint with your mint employees or just poor quality control? You stated: They are subject to recovery by the Government as property of the United States. My answer to that: A note to the geniuses who submitted them back to the mint!: BTW: Coins aren't struck on blanks, they're stuck on planchets. R.I.P. Bill!
  2. Are Dan Carr's initials on the coin/token? I also have a couple of DC's.
  3. A cud is a variation of a die defect in which the coin bears a raised portion of metal. Unlike a die crack or die chip, this unintentional "bump" in the coin is caused by a dent or gouge in the die, therefore allowing the coin to fill into the gap during the minting process.A very minuscule cud can look like a small chunk of metal that was somehow fused to the coin. Some numismatists disagree that these small disturbances, although produced in the same way as a cud, can qualify as one.A prominent cud looks like a blank section of a coin, usually toward the rim of the coin.
  4. Well, it may have been slightly damaged or taken a hit. I don't know about mutilated. From where I sit, I don't "think" the slab has been compromised.
  5. Hold on, let me call @J P Mashoke
  6. You may have already posted them somewhere, not sure. How about the 2009-P & D? What's your grade on those?
  7. You know, I'm a pretty nice guy. I'm sitting here "average Joe American" just minding my own business. This whole Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thing, from the Red Death China virus (how many Americans did they kill? No Murder!!) to counterfeit coins and EVERYTHING in between, is starting to P_SS me off!! Semper Fi
  8. Hmmm. Okay George, thanks very much for that. 👍🏻
  9. Just for the heck of it, can we see a close-up of this area and a little more focused?
