It's not unusual for people to think they have an error or "misprint" when their note is, for example, simply poorly centered. It'd be great if...
To be honest, if I thought the coin was genuine I wouldn't have suggested trying the ring test. I was just trying to give you something to do to...
The surfaces of the coin reminds me of Chinese-made replicas that I used to buy on ebay (for educational purposes) back in 2007. Have you tried...
I've found that most tellers are pretty reasonable as well. If it's one thing that can bring out the dark side in them it's a potential...
You'd think so but I've read stories of tellers swiftly and immediately seizing currency in a brash fashion without giving it a second thought...
I don't necessarily recommend asking a bank teller about an old bill like this. If they're ignorant about old currency, as most bank tellers seem...
I appreciate the support, saltysam. The expert did not respond with his insight into the matter. As such, I felt compelled to at least try and...
You could wear out your welcome pretty fast (even with chocolate and charm) if you need to hand over boxes worth of halves and have the tellers...
This is generally true and I've noticed in the Midwest (especially the eastern Midwest like Chicago) you see a much greater mixture of P and D...
The expert I'm referring to goes by the name of Excelsior, among other names. This is not worth losing sleep or stressing over. This issue has...
A message has been sent to the expert asking if an elaboration can be given. It is ultimately up to him if and when he chooses to respond.
I would consider getting it graded if you're concerned with confirming its authenticity. Chinese counterfeiters have been known to produce...
Well, there remains the possibility that I am wrong but I recall reading about this before a number of years ago. Let's see what the expert has to...
It is not bleed through from Washington's portrait on the front. All $1 notes have this as it is intentionally engraved into the printing plates...
It looks like those bars were poured in a backyard. Kind of cool. Silver has been fluctuating up and down a lot lately so the lower price per...
Don't take this the wrong way but if you've been looking at (or searching through) coins since around 1950 you should have, statistically...
I would surmise nearly all of these that turn up are restrikes as they've been minted as such with the same date continuously up through to the...
Nice finds but I don't think it'll be possible to find full packs of star notes for this series. All 2009 $100 notes are being run through a...
When you open them don't mix the coins from the different rolls together. If they are of 'original roll' quality they may have toned together...
Nothing too unusual by the sounds of it. I've found rolls that have been comprised of nothing but circulated state quarters before. I surmise...
