You are probably correct about the rubber bands, but I am not too worried about damaging a note that is only worth face anyway. The straps are a...
I think almost all the damage on this coin is from corrosion. What looks like additional metal is really the original metal and the other metal...
I accumulate $1 notes that have a year date at the beginning or end (from 1900 on) of the serial number. I have found about a dozen birthday notes...
I see that if you zoom in on the original picture posted you see the rim has been effected and is wider at 180 degrees from the clip. Thanks...
@cpm9ball So that slight increase in wall thickness is a clue to this being a real clip. I was looking for something a little more dramatic. Thanks.

I also can not afford most of the "old style" notes. But I do marvel at the artwork, so I buy BEP souvinier cards. They are very inexpensive and...
I hope I am not breaking any rules posting this here. The Watchung Hills Coin Club is having it's 37th annual coin show this April. Please see...

I hope $33K was not his total retirement nest egg! Even in Florida, that along with social security isn't going to go very far.
Nice die cracks at the memorial's corners!
Any thoughts about a Secretary of the Treasury that does not have a signature in script? I know kids are no longer being taught script, but this...
I collect for fun. Don't care about worth. Let my kids worry about it.
This is a fairly minor error. However there are plenty of star note error collectors out there. You may be able to get $20-30 for it. Condition is...
Did Canada do away with the penny? How did that turn out?
Thanks, I did not know that.
I don't know about the Franklin tokens (probably no silver at all), but the tokens that have the silver centers (usually minted with the words...
