Here is my poor example, bought for fifty cents from a flea market junk box. Took me years to discover it was a jeton made by Hanns Krauwinkel II...
Would this be a double error coin? First by the mint, then by ANACS. I have wondered how they calculate percent off center. My usual...
It seems more likely to me that, as far as circulation is concerned, memorials, and shields too for that matter, in the not-too-distant future...
Entry Post. I inherited this coin from my wife's aunt. I believe it is a 1939 American Trachy, probably a pattern piece and worth a fortune. It...
Thanks!
So true! I have found a couple of clipped planchets (in mint sewn bags so I know they were genuine) when as a kid I wrapped coins for a bank, and...
Alternately, the Secretary could decide the only amount of cents (and nickels?) were the amount needed to put in mint sets, proof sets, or other...
But it says the Secretary decides the necessary amount. If the Secretary decided the necessary amount were zero, then the "shall" would mean the...
Not questioning anyone's opinion on this (it looks replated to me as well), but what sorts of things would we expect to see in a coin that has...
I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't this mean that if the Secretary decided no cents were necessary the mint would not be required to make them?
I'm certainly no expert, but I can see there is some general rubbing, so the max would be AU. The weakness of the steps and left side of the...
Nice find from circulation, but not worth spending the money for grading. I always wonder where such a coin has been hiding all these years....
Cool coin. I'm very ignorant of the process of making dies in those days. Is it possible the bust was put on with a hub and the date and stars...
I have, but not in a while, and you had to ask for one. Before 1964 my bank (I was both a customer and part-time and summer employee as a kid)...
True, reparations were required to be paid in gold, or in foreign currency such as British pounds exchangeable for gold. This made it all but...
On the date given as the issue date on the German bill, the 1000 marks could have been taken to a bank and exchanged for 50 twenty mark gold...
Strikethroughs and PMD can be confusing. I found this 2017-P Lincoln recently, and I would say it has a strikethrough, or even two, but I am...
Entry Post. Here is some "gold" from my garden this afternoon![ATTACH] Deloyala guttata - Mottled Tortoise Beetle
I still drive my 2000 Saturn LS, but the cassette player no longer works. It was my "new" car until last year when I bought a Hyundai and sold my...
It's also a great example of machine doubling, which has some educational value.
