I mean yes the obverse and reverse layer is a sandwich with the core inside. But they mix the 40% silver with the copper for the core and the...
The photo of the 3rd side (Post #2) clearly shows a copper core, so it can't be the only 40% quarter (1976-S proof). When they do the 40% its not...
Since that scale only goes to tenths, there is a wider margin for what the actual weight could be. I assume this is a clad quarter as the only 40%...
I like it. It has value.
IDK what that white ring is. I doubt it is from a coin. It might come off with acetone. A coin that size would be a nickel and there is no reason...
26-S looks good. That's a monster. Let's see the photo of the Hawaii S. In my last 2 rolls of quarters I had 3 looks at a W. (0-3) I did replace...
I can't tell. It looks like a stain. If it is a lump of metal it could be a cud.
Yes Kentucky I wasn't sure about the reverse. It appeared to be slight, and heavier on the obv. Although as an error coin (off center) it's...
If it were to grade MS I don't see how it is more than a low 63, especially from a roll. You could save brand new minted cents and not find a high...
Appears to be a misaligned die strike. While this coin may be an AU keeper, I don't think it's worth grading. I don't see this coin as mint state....
With the 1913 if you can see the mound, no need to etch the coin. I made this mistake. I got a bunch of dateless buffs for cheap just to...
There are something call "black beauties" on the 1959 and some 1958 nickels. An improperly annealed planchet (cooked too long), and they can...
It's so crazy, it just might work. How long did it take them to see they had the wrong planchets? Never if they were just mixed in with a tote of...
Never seen this before. What kind of pop count is there? From the article: "bidding quickly moved to $2350". Seems more valuable than that to me.
Normally you don't clean coins, unless you are a professional at restoring. Because 99%+ of the time, you will do more harm than good. In regards...
Didn't want to start a thread for this. There was another post with a bunch of odometers but I couldn't find it. I knew I was getting close, but I...
There's more counterfeit 14-Ds than real ones. Although if it's a fake maybe you are protected because item not as described? IDK anymore. Let's...
The dryer makes the details of the coin mushy. Spooned is very likely.
I have gotten coins in the reject slot, on the grill, on the shelf, on the floor, under the machine, wedged into the coin acceptor at the end of...
The zinc one is 2.5 grams. The copper ones are 3.1 grams. They changed from copper to zinc in 1982. But that year they made both kinds. So there...
Separate names with a comma.
