P.S. 1919 was the last year of .925 sterling, they went to .80 in 1920.
A little short making my gas, but I found an old Canadian silver dime. It's between 1911-1936. From 1911-1921 they made them out of .925 sterling...
They are not consistent with their own rules. It's a sham. They only care about money.
How do you know that he dishonored the bid? It most likely was a shill bidder and then the lister of the coin didn't get the other guy to bite....
Shill bidding and snipe programs. Auctions are designed to get you to overbid. So when you put your bid in, which looks good at the time, you...
I can't tell but it looks like from the OP photo that coin has already been cleaned.
Good eye. As for the seller, maybe he is being nice about this. But it's 99% he knows where he got that coin from and he knows it's bad. He got...
Nice to find some keepers. A silver ring and a dollar coin. A 1 euro from Spain that I can't spend. At the last spot 2 large coyotes.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
4 double glueys on the shelf. Soaked in warm water for 5 minutes, 8 cents soon to be reintroduced to their natural environment.
GF picks me up 2 rolls of quarters in a futile attempt at pulling a W. So far I have 4 Bessie Coleman's but I haven't put one in the album. The...
The Barber designs were weak. But the Mercury dime, Buffalo nickel, SLQ, Walker half are among the best of the American coins.
Made more than my gas, and I didn't dig a lot of zinc penny signals, but it's brutal out there.[ATTACH]
Yes but some of those years the majority of coins were dumped in the river. I don't think they were recovered. I think the 39 and the 44 are the...
Nickels always have weighed 5.0 grams with 25% nickel and 75% copper. As Paddy mentioned there is a range of tolerance that is acceptable. The...
It would have to be in better condition, MS 67 MS 68. I have plenty of cents that are in better condition than those photos and they aren't worth...
That's a tasty one. The only proofs I have found, have been in a Coin Star, and coin roll hunting quarters.
1959 is the right date. There are some others (58?). But if is darker than normal it very well could be a black beauty. (Improperly annealed.)
If you have a VERY bright light and an eye loupe (or a microscope) sometimes you can see a faint date better than the naked eye and room light. As...
Only worth 5 cents if you hand pay it or deposit to a bank. A self serve machine will reject it.
To be struck on a foreign planchet the coin has to be smaller. (Foreign coins are not the same size/weight/metal content as US coins, except...
Separate names with a comma.
