It's an interesting question where this falls legally. It's sort of like a raffle but everyone wins a prize. Legalities of raffles vary by state...
Seems like mortgages are still commonly priced in 1/8th% increments. I've taught my kids that "two bits" means a quarter and where it...
That's the thing - it's like Vegas or the lottery. The house always wins. I don't see much of a difference between the Vaultbox stuff and...
I know who you're talking about with taking every thread off topic and spewing a bunch of nonsense. I can scroll on past. However there is another...
My advice is - don't. You will get caught eventually and the consequences are severe. Tax evasion is criminal. I gather that you are not even 16...
1903 was such a weird year for SF dimes. Reverse 3 with the extra fold in the right ribbon end was introduced in 1901, so you would think two...
I can see an acquisition but who would they merge with? They seem to have so many different areas of focus that I can see them "parting it out."...
I'd be tempted to write it off as a gambling loss. That's what it is, gambling. A roulette wheel with a lot more slots for the ball to fall into.
I figured it was an absurdly high grade. NNC is a basement slabber. I wouldn’t even be sure that it’s genuine.
I’m guessing the NNC grade is like MS68 and the real grade is Unc Details Scratched.
The 1899 has the reverse hub type of 1900-1901. It was an “early release” on around 2% of the 1899 Philly coins. Compare the main vein of the...

I was reading up on why this was such a short-lived issue, and learned something odd (to me at least) - large cents were never legal tender...
According to Wexler https://doubleddie.com/58201.html in the US "With the introduction of the Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents the Mint began...
OP hasn't been here for going on 12 years.
You can see that the metal is rough all the way around and a fin of it folded over. It wouldn't take much depth to raise a thin circle of metal...
I'm guessing someone started drilling a hole and quit. The New Orleans mint didn't exist for another 8 years.
There was a similar thing with the Camp Fire that wiped out Paradise, CA in 2018. The collection was in a safe and NGC did the restoration and...
Not that much different than a bulk submission at the other TPGs except they're not individually slabbed.
It's interesting to look at the distribution versus the mintages and consider where you might be detecting geographically. 1917 and 1924 you have...
Separate names with a comma.
