I'm curious what makes 1926-1995 "vintage." Seems like an odd date range. Thailand 20 baht, 36th Anniversary of birth of Rama IX (1963),...
That’s an average of roughly 21 posts per day. Solid participation!
Pretty easy with stamps. If it's postmarked or licked, it's circulated. Some of the contentions here specific to "hoarding" cents aren't...
Wow, in their last year of operation and after 15 years they decided to coin $5 gold one more time. I wonder if there's a story behind that. New...
I figured we could count on you!
The online Lawrence books are a good overall reference but a bit outdated now, as far as hub types and varieties. You could probably find hardcopy...
Been thinking about it too. There are so many ways you could do a first/last collection. I've been collecting the Barber dime hub type...
Actually it's "893" which the article on the first page here says is a mystery. One theory is that it refers to the fineness, but why? I'm...
No offense but that's clearly AI slop. "a faint, incuse (sunken) or raised" - it can't be both. I've seen AI say the same exact thing about die...
I'm still not sure if I've wrapped my head around it but basically it seems that a coin is slowly getting struck onto the opposite die through the...
Progressive Indirect Die Transfer aka ghosting - https://www.error-ref.com/progressive-indirect-design-transfer/. I'm guessing that by...
Trivia you probably already know - engraved by Charles Barber and minted in Philadelphia. I need to get one of his Cuba coins myself.
I suppose you could do the first SF coins too. Cents not until 1908 and nickels 1912 for example.
I hate to give "the government" too much credit, but the Board of Governors submits print orders every year and "the print order reflects the...
There's a hint of them above the bridge on the left as well.
It looks pretty extreme and I could not find it on cudsoncoins. Might be worth checking there yourself (more thoroughly than me perhaps) and...
Isn't the OP talking about an inauguration medal? The 250th anniversary thing has already been discussed elsewhere. (IMO the design is hideous).
My daughter worked food trucks for a couple years in HS and during summer. They went through stacks of fresh $2 bills. At the weekly food truck...
You're mixing up your idioms. "At the drop of a hat" means you're willing to do something without hesitation, immediately without a second...
I'm confused. Do you mean redesigning it? The print order for $2 bills this year was 307,200,000 to 416,000,000. They have never stopped printing...
