Got a box of halves today that were largely marked. Purple Sharpie dot over the B in Liberty, I'd say it was about 90% of them. I did manage one...
So it sold on ebay for the starting bid, 125.99. Fine with me, just didn't want to have to spend it. Anyway, so funny thing, as soon as I sell...
If it is indeed a mint error, it'd probably be a grease filled die/struck through grease. Not rare, would maybe command a slight premium.
This is an interesting point. I'd imagine you'd just still be paid in those same Federal Reserve Notes, as they just keep decreasing in value....
I was just thinking about this this morning, and wondered what everyone thought. Let's say we have a SHTF scenario, a hyperinflation or...
For a while, I was getting 2011 cents like crazy. I stopped ordering from some banks for a bit, because of that. 4 weeks in a row with 2011...
Well, they will be raised on one side. Bag marks (especially heavy ones) will indent the coin some, then raise the other side. It's metal...
I'm not a paper collector, so bear with. But it looks to be most likely post-mint (post-federal reserve?) damage. I would bet money on it.
When the SHTF, this coin will be worth 12.5 current USD. That's a bit of a doomsday scenario, I guess, but still. The dude probably has a lot of...
Franklin Mint is usually a bad sign. Their stuff is not really collectible, so most stuff they put out is worth melt (a little bit less probably...
hiho, what coin/medallion is that in your avatar? That's pretty neat looking.
Welcome! With paper money, you need more info than just the series. Folks will need the serial # and approximate condition to offer any info....
A Sliver Seals Collection? No way! I've only seen silver seals. Just kidding. Welcome to cointalk! And the only reason for my post was to yank...
I would hate to break out the term 'troll,' but it's true, Taylor, some of your posts are a bit gratuitous. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm glad...
Well, I've kind of noticed that too at my local coin shops. As far as selling goes, everybody wants to buy silver, but non-silver stuff they just...
It's likely that packaging. Those are I suppose technically silver dollars, but they're called ASEs, American Silver Eagles. They were never...
Yeah, I dumped some Ikes at the bank before because I didn't have enough for a box of halves, and couldn't wait 7 days for an ebay auction. But I...
Don't hold your coins like that, hold them by the edges. Even in low MS, they still would probably only sell for melt, in 1964 they made a...
Agreed, it's for sure a 3. But I agree that those 3s on Jeffersons look a lot like the 5s. I've found nickels in rolls that I thought were '58...
Wow, you've really dug up an old thread. Anyway, it's probably PMD. Almost always is.
