Nice score.
Those are awesome. Do you know anything about their pedigree? I'm imagining a shooting enthusiast back in the day who strung all of his medals...
Cool, I had to look it up. No longer legal tender but face value would be about 1/2 cent U.S. if my calculation is right, which it might not be....
Again, they look like machine doubling. Dimes from the 1980's to the early 2000's are notorious for bad, weak strikes and worn out dies. They also...
Entry post. Thank you @Cheech9712 Although I don't believe W quarters actually exist.:happy:
I agree with Pickin and Grinin, looks like probably machine doubling. It happens when a die gets worn and moves or bounces on the coin. Your...
2020 Proof sets came with a bonus proof W nickel. 2020 Silver proof sets came with a bonus reverse proof W nickel. 2020 Uncirculated sets were...
The 1968 looks like it got smashed by something, like somebody put it under a wobbly table leg or something. The others, while well-struck and...
Now there's an idea for a mint promotion. Release five oz silvers into circulation.
Good question. I don't believe there's been any word on that from the mint.
Looks sketchy, and the seller has feedback of 1. Agree that a coin that nice would be slabbed.
Don't worry about what the coins are worth in money. Old coins that still have original luster are worth saving just to admire and preserve for...
While you locate your pictures, let me throw this idea out - since you seem to have a lot of Lincoln cents, why not buy a book like this and work...
On the surface, I like this idea. But history has shown this doesn't generate interest, and probably reduces it. Plus, it's a burden on manufacturing.
The irony of that article is that it is complaining about the fact that the Mint did change. For years, mint sales were in decline. Nobody bought...
Yes, it does, kinda sorta. That notion occurred to me years ago (when I read about Buddy Ebsen's collection being auctioned) - that we spend...
You guys & gals are impressive and put this amateur to shame. But I'll play anyway. Completed: Mercury dimes Roosevelt dimes State quarters ATB...
Yes, copper clad is normal for a a 1971 half dollar. The typical "sandwich" type coin with copper in between two silver-colored copper nickel...
Yes, it was. I felt it really conveyed how well the system actually works and how unfortunate it is that these two detectorists chose to ignore it.
Interesting read. Bad lapse of judgement and quite a severe penalty as a result.
