By a strictly semantic definition, every coin which leaves the US Mint has entered circulation and as such, it technically circulated. As stated...
What you are getting upset about is the very definition of ignorance. Basically, ignorance is the state on "not knowing" which folks almost...
I agree. A drop of acid on the coin would cause this damage.
Weigh it. Compare its weigh (in grams) to that of a standard quarter. If they weigh the same, it simply has a thin copper plating making it PMD....
Fine. Send it to Heritage Auctions and have them sell it. They'll have it graded and do all the leg work!
Agree since, of the 2,845,450 proof sets produced during 1975, only 2 have coughed up No S dimes and these coins were solidly sealed in the Proof...
I would disagree in that, with a "mirror" finish, you can see detailed reflections exactly as if looking into a bathroom or hand held mirror.
My one and only Gold piece. Paid $160 back in the mid 70's. Got it graded for free back when PCGS had "REAL" Collectors club Specials instead of...
Purchased directly from the late Herb Hicks a few years back. Awesome coins but there are MS examples waiting to be found. Both are Type H...
No Way that your coin is a Small Date since the Small Date ALWAYS has a faded IBERTY after the L in LIBERTY. In the future, instead of folks...

Actually, the System which member banks order coins from the Federal Reserve "used" to allow banks to order specific rolls of Presidential Dollars...
If there were no paper dollars, everybody would use them and to think otherwise is just folly. When I was in England, I asked for a roll or two...
Is it rare? Nah! This one is rare! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I don't even want to know what that littler critter might be.
This method attracts a lot of attention. [ATTACH] Didn't work for me though. [ATTACH]
This method of storage appears to work ok. [ATTACH]
So, if Farouk received an "export license", it only stands to reason that the coins were in fact released. From a Devil's Advocate position,...
Judging from those gouges on the Obverse, I think you'd be hard pressed to get more than bullion value+5 for the coin. It's pretty badly worn as...
IMO, people buy toned coins with the mistaken belief that someone must have kept it for a very ling time due to its quality. Or, they buy them to...
IMO, no. Toning requires oxygen and other gases which are, by design, minimalized in a 3rd party slab. No, 3rd Party Slabs are not "Air Tight"...
