Originally the Shallow N was used on copper-nickel cents, and was not needed after the switch to bronze. The 'Bold N' was created in 1870, and...
Many cleaned coins are darker near the legends than in the center, exactly like yours. Looks about net VF-20 to me.
I say 1,412. Thanks for the contest!
That would be nice, but knowing the mint, 90% silver dollars won't be a cheap set. IMO too many products and gimmicks, quality control issues,...
With today's gain, not too far to go. $15 silver would make a nice xmas present.:)
IMO, the argument that dollar coins are too much heavier than paper $'s is pointless. The most $ coins you would ever get back out of necesity...
I'm saying whizzed mainly from the picture of the obverse. The whole left side appears to have 'hairlines', especially directly to the left of...

Blame the politicians!
Quiet!!! Don't give the politicians any more ideas! :yawn: I wonder if the mint proceeds with the silver president coins, will they be the...

Off the top of my head, I think the Buffalos were struck 4 or 5 times, so 'First Strikes' is technically correct. Edit: The Mint website says each...
Quality key and semi-key Indians have been real hard to find in F-AU for a while now around here too. Plenty of AG and MS's though, go figure.

Yes, close to melt. If we're lucky they'll be as close to melt as the $800 Gold Buffalo, only $150 over spot. Half ounce First Lady coins - I...
Congrats! I wish I could be focused enough to complete a set.
I wouldn't trust CoinVault to be honest. After all, the Mint did issue a press release basically stating that First Strike is BS.
Are you talking about Henning counterfeits? The earliest date Henning is known to have counterfeited is 1939.
So if I send in my 1913 Liberty head nickel, 1933 double eagle, 1804 S$1, 1964 Peace $, and my 1885 Trade $, 'they' will know I'm a little guy and...
