Like Randy said, you'll do better starting a new thread, and posting photos. Yes, people like to plate cents with various things. Frequently,...
"Toss box"? Oh, you mean a "convenient horizontal surface". Yes, yes, I have those, too. Problem is, they eventually become mounds, and it gets...
Hey, congratulations on the set!
Gas almost always goes up at this time of year. Of course, conflict and uncertainty in oil-producing regions also has an effect.
Looks genuine, cleaned/damaged to me.
Not if it has deep enough rim dings, right? A lowball still has to grade cleanly.
It looks frosty, but those are huge gouges on the obverse, and definitely PMD.:( I'm not sure what to make of the apparent multi-strike weirdness.
Yeah, I could make a crack about an "off-by-one error", but that's a nice-looking circulation find!

No, no, that's how you mark your territory after you buy a giant company. :rolleyes:
True, but never as low as (say) the First Spouse gold, and those quickly dropped to near-melt as well. If there are fewer collectors than there...
It was in the boat when it went down. Very sad.
Kind of ironic, given that you're within a 100-mile radius of the Philly Mint, aren't you?
Heh. Here, food is still taxed at 2%. I remember short trips from my in-laws to Alabama, where gas taxes were super-low, but ALL groceries were...
It's the same way here in NC. Good for me, obviously, but I'm still not sure why my hobby deserves a carve-out more than any other.
Not that I like it, but I sure believe it. :(
