Thanks for sharing, Stewart. There are a few Jefferson nickel collectors here. I'm sure you'll see some nice pics soon.
Might want to try taking it to a jeweler for a reliable weight. Aluminum would weight much less than that. Copper-nickel ("regular") quarter...
Debate is of little use until we have a reliable weight on these. Henning counterfeited nickels, so it's not out of the realm of possibility...
Experience. You just have to have seen many examples. Some are very obvious (brilliant silver or copper color, depending on the coin, with...
I've never seen anything like it.
I have traded coins in the past, but I typically prefer to convert them to cash and purchase whatever I like. Trading them directly is no...
Don't turn it in; it's likely not counterfeit. There is almost no chance that anyone would bother counterfeiting quarters in aluminum, as they...
Wow. Just, wow. How funny. This entrepreneur found themselves with a pair of common mittens, and said to themself "How can I market this crap."...
Hey...how'd you get that out of my safe deposit box? Oh, wait...that's not mine. Mine has FS. :)
The story goes that one of the 1894-S Barber dimes was spent by a little girl on an ice cream. That's a million-dollar mistake right there.
Wow...that's fantastic. And I bet it costs a "pretty penny." Heh. Get it? Pretty penny....
Sorry. Still can't tell from the pics. If it is raised, it's probably a die crack. I must say, though, that I've never seen a die crack that...
It's already been done, my man:...
Linda, Not likely doubled. Nickels in the 1960s, and to some extent in the 1950s, were subject to extreme die deterioration. Nickel is a hard...
I don't know what an Ike half dollar is. Do you mean 40% or 90% Kennedy half dollars, or do you mean 40% silver Ike dollars? In any case, in...
Sweet. Unfortunate that people are actually spending that stuff, but your knowledge means money in your pocket.
I'm not sure of the mechanism, but I believe it is the container shrinking, not the coins expanding. I purchased a roll of gem uncirculated 1958...
I can't speak to your currency issues, but I can talk about net grading. This statement of yours is closest: "Also in the above case, if the...
Nice pickup. I'll admit ignorance on the tabbed holders, so I like the roll theory. Can't figure out why someone would have 2 1957-P quarters...
Congratulations -- that's a nice pickup. Are you doing your 7070 with all toned coins?
