OK, thanks for the input.
Hmmmm…. I’m not sure I agree. I’ll have to chew on that a bit. The whole reason I posted this is that the mark does not look like a typical...
I found this BU Lincoln in a roll search. BIG crater in Lincoln’s neck. It honestly looks like some sort of struck-through error to me, but if...
I recently came across this 2022 Lincoln while roll searching. It appears to be mint state. Right above LIBERTY is a rather large and deep...
I pulled this coin out of a bank roll and gave it a look with my loupe. Boy was I surprised! I have nicknamed this die chip “The Baby Maker.”...
I knew CT members would figure this one out. Thanks.

My first thought, BTW, was obverse lamination combined with a spin in a jewelry cleaning machine that uses ball bearings of something. It’s just...
Found this strange looking 1964 Jefferson in a nickel roll last night. I cannot assess what it is. Was going to conclude PMD and toss it back,...
An old thread, but very interesting. I found a 1941-S small S today in a roll in VG8. Compared it to another 1941-S, (also VG8) I had sitting in...
I agree with your observations. Classic Peruvian decimal coins have definitely been rising in price as interest in quality World Coins has ramped...
I got turned on to Peruvian silver coins on a trip to Lima in 1987. I’ve been collecting these half dineros for 15 years and I also have...
Sure is a lot of "edited" going on here. I guess I ran afoul of a rule somehow. If so, mea culpa. Just giving my honest take on these new quarters...
Yeah. Coins have become the new hobby horse of the politicians - Edited - . But it will be all for naught. Coins simply don’t circulate much...
I have to agree. The U.S. Mint is going to assassinate numismatics in the same manner as the U.S. Postal Service killed stamp collecting. Putting...
I do like the “new” obverse by Fraser, though. Such a noble and realistic portrait of the Father of Our Country. Should have been on the obverse...
Hmm…..based on the 2022 selections this is looking suspiciously like the “American - Edited - Wymyn Quarters.” How about some more mainstream...
Good news today. I received a prompt confirmation of shipment response from Wizard Coin Supply on the Monday following my inquiry to them. So,...
