I'm curious to know how numismatists' tastes have evolved over the years while collecting coins. Mine started out with hunting silver just because...
From these pictures, can you tell if there are any issues? It appears to have discolored, and it's a different color from what I'm used to for...
Above the E in LIBERTY there's a high relief. Is that due to a die crack? It's very uniform and looks to be separate from the top of the E. If...
The lowest mintage war nickel is the 1943 D at 15.24 million, while the highest is the 1943 P at 271.165 million. Yet, there is virtually little...
It seems that for transition years, there are a lot of mistakes where the wrong die or planchet are used. For example, a 1959 Lincoln Memorial...
Here's a 1940 nickel with what looks like a D sticking out on the right edge of the building, instead of above the right edge where you'd...

Just to change things up a bit... I found this coin trick on the Tube you can do on "regular" coins... more like coin physics. Some of you already...
