In this episode, we explore the intricate details that transform a simple piece of metal into a historical artifact. We move beyond the basic "heads and tails" to uncover the "third side" of a coin and the specialized terminology that every collector needs to master. From the microscopic details visible through a jeweler’s loupe to the high-pressure science of the minting press, we break down exactly what you are holding in the palm of your hand.
