Were you looking specifically for this number, or was it just a happy accident? I don't really do much with paper money, but it seems like...
Yup, definitely die chips in the date. Kinda cool, a bit different, but also very common. The '5' especially on Lincolns - any time there's a 5,...
I've been lurking, but haven't been active. I needed to take a break, and it's probably been almost a year now. I'll be posting a bit more, but...
Yup. Here's one I used to own: [ATTACH]
While Wexler has a lot more detailed information, this summary provides the basics without having to click on 9 different pages:...
Reverse is a 65, but there's enough marks on the cheek and eyebrow on the obverse for me to say 64.

Peace dollar: scratches. Looks like it was in a holder (or on a surface) and was scraped across something. The lines are on the high points, in...
Yeah, he's my hero as well. He joined towards the end of the war (and might have lied about his age to join). He initially was trained as a...
Man, I wish the dog was my problem! That's an easy fix - get rid of the roommate! (it's her dog, and they are both sweethearts that have helped so...
I feel so bad that I haven't been able to wrap this contest up.... Shortly after I started it, my car broke down. Then the AC in my attic broke...
Oh, I'm so sorry y'all. I completely forgot about this - had a whole bunch of life issues come up and I haven't really posted here in a few weeks....
