Got it. The way you have this challenge set up is causing us (at least me) to question all aspects of the coin—which is a good thing! I can't...
That's pretty funny. On a serious note, I couldn't imagine a duller full-time occupation than "money picker-upper," regardless of the...
I vaguely remember reading once someone's calculation that bending over to pick up a penny is not worth the deleterious effects to one's health...
The chart numbers aren't "theory," but they certainly bear out what you're saying about inflation in the '70s. I was too young to remember or...
I've also been wondering about the large patch of color on Liberty's hair at the very back of her neck, kind of a rust hue. Also under the 5th...
Wow, congrats! I would never have thought Heritage would do that. Wouldn't they be afraid of opening the floodgates? Hmm, I have a nice NGC...

As one who looks at NGC 66s with a jaundiced eye, what do you think of this N/C?...
