I have always heavily suspected that shiny red copper coins from the 19th century must have been treated with something, but they look so great I...
I dumped a lot quarters back into circulation a few years back. I had a dozen rolls or more of shiny, barely circulated examples that I picked...

YouTube strives to make money off of hits, clicks, likes, whatever they call them this nanosecond. To do that, they will promise riches, instant...
The Apollo 11 coin is the only commemorative that I've purchased from the mint in the past 30 years. I have this feeling it will remain that way.
