Does paying for a membership grant access to the database?
I see so many DDO/DDR varieties listed on the ANACS population reports that I can't find pictures of anywhere, or auction results.
When someone finds a new doubled die I presume the only way to find out what its worth is to put it up for auction after having it examined and then graded. I assume the more dramatic the doubling, the more popular the series is with collectors, the greater the value, but I'm curious how much shipping insurance people tend to buy for such coins or if there's any good way to estimate value (I know CONECA doesn't do appraisals).
I'm also curious about prototypes and patterns and what the process is like for establishing a coin is a prototype and not simply a variety. Is this something CONECA does?
Does CONECA examine and attribute coin surface types, like matte/satin/sandblasted/proof/reverse proof. Like for example if a proof coin had mirror surfaces everywhere, no frosting at all.
