This note has demand being it has five leading zeroes (and six zeroes total at that). The notion that collectors only collect pristine-condition...
This is very much a controversial grey area in terms of the legalities of selling "fake" coins. This is especially true when it comes to...
Check out this lot of a "Near Complete" set of wheat cents from the seller in question. The pictures are horrendous, what with the key date 1909S...
Since we've seen fit to go off on an irrelevant (and notably controversial) topic, I would like to take this opportunity to help diffuse the...
It wouldn't be worthwhile listing on eBay but I could see the note going for $2-$3 in the right place, such as on the Where's George collector...
Your post can use some context. For example, did you buy the nickels and high-grade wheat from a dealer or did you find these from searching rolls...
I say yay because it is in exceptionally nice condition and these only had a small window of time where they were allowed to circulate before the...
I can tell by looking at it that it's not terribly old and most certainly not contemporary. Expand the picture of the contemporary one in the link...
Yes, I was just going to say acid. I've seen this with quarters but this is my first time seeing it on a dime wherein the copper edge has lost its...
It was minted in Philadelphia. Sold individually, I'd say it's worth from $0.05 - $0.10. I used to be able to buy uncirculated rolls of these for...
What's interesting is the date appears to be 1858 but I can't find any reference to them being minted that late on there.
It would be interesting to see the quantified data for this (if there is any) but I've heard on more than one occasion that most U.S. gold coins...
This kind of condition is actually fairly common for wheats from that era. They're not seen too often because dealers filter them out but if one...
I would like to take this moment to note that this is the 40,000th post in this thread. When this thread first started, I had only recently...
While I'm not sure of its intended purpose, I'd say the one in the link is contemporary and original. Take note of its high rarity index. Yours is...
A lingering question I have from observing serial ranges of star notes is why don't the serials of the runs follow each other consecutively like...
Hmm. Old timers who were around collecting in the '60's have told me the focus was on hoarding silver and BU 1960's clad was largely ignored and...
Going through boxes of halves isn't for everyone. They're as heavy as a boat anchor, it takes time to sort through them and to liquidate them when...
I was there in 2014 and I can attest that they still used metal balls. I think what is meant is that the tokens are used to activate the machines.
That's a very nice find, especially considering you found it in the eastern US. I know of a dedicated coin roll hunter in Oregon who took over 20...
