I will have to hand pay it to someone. I had this happen before with a normal quarter (MAYBE THE SAME DATE 1970-D) right size, right weight, not...
So I go to my CU and bring in 2000 metal detecting nickels. The other machine at a diff branch was always shorting me. They would open up the...
The coin star has an internal reject bin as well as an external reject bin. Dime and a penny on the grill, possible unspendable dime in the slot...
I doubt it is full steps. But still a beautiful coin. Full steps means 5 or 6 steps that go all the way across and are unbroken. The coin must be...
The 3 pence is silver under $1 melt but worth $3 as a collectible coin. Went through a couple of rolls looking for W's (9 to check later.) Kept a...
There's all kinds of doubling, because of the way coins are minted. Die deterioration doubling, mechanical/ejection/machine doubling, abrasion?...

The dollar coins are not so bad because it's just a slightly large quarter, but again there's no real way to spend them, especially in the self...
Too many crooks spoil the broth.
The missing clad will almost always 100% be on one side only. If it was on both sides the coin would be incredibly thin and light and the pressure...
Yes that is a delightful set. Usually I just see worn, tarnished circulated war nickels. These really stand out.
I don't know why anyone carries halves. No one uses them to pay for anything. They are too large to carry around. It's costing the banks money to...
Those steps look very close in that photo.
I don't think album toning is considered artificial as it was not the intent to tone these coins to make them more desirable to sell.
Yes sometimes coins can be difficult to photograph well, if you don't have expensive equipment. And it can look much better in hand. For $5 it's a...
The reverse could be more of a worn die than circ. But there are areas that are a concern. The field in front of the nose. The field behind the...
