"I wonder if someone just decided to put it back in circulation to make someone's day more fun." There was a thing a few years ago when (dealers?)...
AU has a wide range of grades. While this is the key date of the series I find it odd that other coins with MUCH lower mintages sell for a...
Sweet Paddy.
Nothing going on so I hit some scroungy spots. I needed 1 nickel for a milestone and almost didn't get it.[ATTACH]
It's just that the coating is so thin and the indentation is so deep and there's no zinc showing. If it was struck after the coating is applied...
The later Franklins can be found in high grades. I think these early ones circulated more. Back in the day the 50 cent piece was used a lot. By...

Yes I agree. May not be a hole but a planchet flaw. If it didn't grade details, it's prob OK.
If the letters are reversed, they know it's a vise job.
I had what I thought was a D over S, but when I showed it to my coin guy, he said it looked like D over D. (Which I don't think is even a thing.)...
