  1. How about the Y2K Dagger Foot American Silver Eagle??
  2. Yes.. Roosevelt has become a Pinocchio classic these days..
  3. It could be the point where the pressure is highest..
  4. Yeah but not as easy as the zinc..
  5. Never really know when the die will break. It could be after the first coin struck. It could be because of improper annealing..
  6. Still to thin. Can still see inconsistencies in the field. Needs to be a solid copper cent like in the past..
  7. Problem is even on ms70 and pf70 coins you can tell the zinc is under the copper layer. Irregularities where the copper and zinc meet show through even on high grade coins.. So I feel if it were a solid copper cent you'd be getting a much better struck coin that would last much longer..
  8. Should be old time solid copper for reasons mentioned in previous post.. This is better for collectors not worrying if zinc coins will degrade in the holder.
  9. you buy a slabbed Pf70 or MS70 modern cent for big dollars and then 20 years later the zinc below the thin copper plating starts corroding and starts to blister the plating?? Does the value or grade of the coin go down or would it stay the same? Seems like it could be risky for plated coins...
  10. Nah. I'll just wait for the answer here..
  11. at the Orange County convention center in Orlando Fla. July 8th - 10th.. WIll NGC be there grading coins??
  12. At great risk I removed from cellophane with gloves and handled coin by reeding only to snap these two two fine images.. Any chance for a high grade?? Looks so much better then the other coins in the uncirculated set. I don't see any nicks, dings or scratches on either side of the coin..
  13. Another example would be looking up a 2005 quarter die crack. Although, not a proof but a business strike. Or perhaps Spitting Buffalo..
  14. A good start would be a search of proof die crack which has been printed on many of my holders.. Different dates and denominations could also narrow it down. NGC should offer this service..
  15. Well the data would exist on the slab information sticker so a computer should be able to spit out a total number for a given coin..
