  2. ...escaped is an accurate description, but even columbia has entrance level standards....
  3. [PS: Lamination difficulties in binary coin alloys are most commonly caused by inclusions of slag, oxides, contaminants or air bubbles. It was not an alloy mixing problem. The only consistent exception is the ternary wartime silver nickel alloy.]
  4. Foreigners overseas loved them....tons shipped to Europe from 1930-32.....Treasury melted them because of the orders from the dunced at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Going off the gold standard did NOT mean having to confiscate and/or melt gold coins. Letters to the editor to The Times notably said that in 1933 and 1934.
  5. You seem rather confused on registry points, and it is registry not register, (this is not a place to shop for wedding gifts). Can you provide a link to where you found the point totals you claim here? In the future it might be a good idea to know what points a coin is worth for the set you intend to use it for before you buy said coin.
  6. Have you escaped the profound idiocy happening at Columbia University?
  7. Of coins that spent nearly their entire existence waiting to be melted into Ft. Knox bars? Hardly. If the Treasury Department had that little respect for them, why should I? My collecting preference is for unusually nice coins of types that people actually used. Except for the difference in inherent value, St. Gaudens $20 gold coins were the Presidential or Innovation Dollars of their era. Unloved, largely unknown, and mostly unused.
  8. Why would you want to spend $55-60.00 having it graded. It is not a Doubled Die and would just come back as a regular circulated grade worth about a dollar Nice album coin at the best.
  9. Found this in pocket change 57 is fatter than most normal is it worth sending for grading
  10. Well thank you all for your participation in the question error or not. It's another variety to search for in the long list of treasures waiting to be discovered.
  11. Nice find! Good to see copper still going around.
  12. Hello, @OPEINO ONEIPO, Kostas.

  13. ...more like lucy and esther tap-dancing their way through a grape-filled mosh pit....if nobody liked 'em, they'd be as populur and sought after as the wild-haIred birch cent...(apologies to Sandon) 🤣
  14. ...well if u like beefy looking washer women stomping on grapes go for it....
  15. Why shouldn't it ? Even if you dislike gold, can't you appreciate the artistry ?
  16. Still can't believe that costume got past the old ABC censors !! Saw her on an old episode of "2 1/2 Men" and she STILL looks good past 70 !!!
  17. I see that Gov.mint is now offering coins from the Fairmont Collection; video here too: https://www.govmint.com/reserveplus?ad=987PM&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5IGG2azbhQMV2FtHAR1ZqwIEEAAYASAAEgLyWvD_BwE $5 and $10 gold pieces; the Eagle sells for just over $2,500 for a 1907P. Not sure if that is high relative to the market for 1/2 ounce of gold for the final issue of the Liberty Head design. I also saw a TV commercial for the Fairmont coins yesterday, but missed who sponsored it; could have been Gov.mint or another firm.
  18. ...to summarize:...nothing new, same old ...also, no relegation, bar is much higher....
