Once you go through enough big bulk lots of coins, you'll learn to recognize the distinctive color of silver immediately. Even those Mexican...
Of what registry do you speak? Sorry. Dunno. I am not a paper money guy- I only do those little round pieces of metal. But weren't star notes...
Technically, I think you're correct, in the collectibility sense, but in sentimental terms, the fact that it came from your grandfather makes it...
Yes, this is what I ended up doing as well. But now I don't even use them very much at all anymore. Instead, I just use Google searches for...
Roman coins taught me everything I know about that whole period in history. The only thing I can remember learning about it otherwise from school...
So yes, an error of sorts, but only a very minor and common one, not worth any extra premium. It's still an interesting feature and a...

Without pictures, no one is going to be able to help you much. Also, it's considered bad form to post two different threads about the same coin,...
I don't have any from the 430's AD. This one's date range overlaps the 430s BC, but since it can't be pinned to that specific decade, perhaps...
Hi. I guess there could have been some lamination there, but after all the wear that coin received in circulation, I'm not so sure. More likely,...
I figured. But at a cursory glance, that replica really jumped out at me at first! LOL
@Everett Guy - knowledge is key. If you're going to hunt through World coins, you'll have a lot of fun, and will probably find some interesting...
World notes sure are so much more colorful and interesting than our US notes. (Yeah, thank you, Captain Obvious. You're welcome.)
I feel your pain. Mine likes to "help out" like that all the time, but when I really do make a goof, it's nowhere to be seen.
