Nice. I've never found an IHC in circulation. Wheats are still common, I just found 18 wheats in some rolls, but how can anyone spend an IHC and...
The last question was a joke. I am, however, still curious if submerging a coin in urine would tone it. The only problem is I'm not curious enough...
Also, if you did urine-tone a coin, do you think it would be better to saturate the urine with soda or coffee, or drink water to keep it pure?
This is a first set (other than a US type set) that I've ever actually tried to complete. I'm working on a AU or unc. Lincoln cent folder for...
If you wanna pee on your coins, be my guest. I was wondering if anyone has tried it.
I'm still looking through the 47 rolls of pennies, and I found one massive die crack, 12 wheats and some nice 70's and 80's unc. cents for the...
There is one thing I still don't understand though. I heard of some people saying that old albums and paper bags and other things like that tone...
I pee on my coins every day. I didn't know that would tone them though... PS, Thanks GD! Very informative post!
On second thought, I don't think a bank would replace the torn dollar for you, since most probably don't have the right gizmo to accurately...
I think it's a disorder. We keep the coins everyone else tries to pass off.
I know for a fact if you send 51% of a bill to the bureau of engraving and printing, federal reserve or whoever handles that, and get your money...
:( Great, you ruined it for the cherrypickers!!
Wow. I hope my hoard gets into the quadruple digits some day. I can't bring myself to spend a wheat, so that might happen.
I always keep them, even though they're mostly worth one cent. There's also some from my grandmother who saved them starting in 1959, I think. So...
I bought 47 rolls of sealed pennies today, I haven't finished with them yet, but so far I found 6 wheats (one 1928) and 2 Canadian pennies that I...
Can't wait to dig that one up. I bet it would smell like it came from an ancient bus terminal.
I think I'll let one of the experts attempt the error test, to better mankind of course. I'm not professional enough for that yet.
Hmmm... So, I went to the coin shop today, and I bought a nice Indian Head legal tender equal to 1/100th of one (1) United States Federal...
Maybe that one was accidently dropped in the chamber pot. But when did toning become a positive thing, instead of just discoloring? Or has it...
I've collected coins in an amature way for quite a while, but I've never even heard of toning until I came to coin message boards. So forgive me...
