I collect many different things but something with 1955 is always at the top of the list. SWEET coin.
I received this today courtesy of Flyers10. It is the nicest thing that has ever happened to me on a forum....
They are most likely a matched pair. It might be hard to tell. You can print both sides. Then hold both prints facing out and rotated 180 degrees...
Curiosity is good. Somebody has used a lettered punch to impress that word on the back. In the 1800's to the early 1900's business owners...

goldfinger1969 My rebuttal would be the 1937-D Three Legged Buffalo variety. It is technically a worn die (over polished). One minted before the...
I'm a bit suspicious about the label. In the early 70's my take home was just over $50. So every second week I took home a bag of cents from the...
My favorite? Nickels, all series and varieties. I try to fill out each year with a variety, RPM, MPD, RPD and Doubled Dies. I am trying to get...
