Nice '77!

There's only one known. They were actually minted in 1965 or early 1966. If yours are real you'll have to offer me one. There are several...
I'd have better collection if I hadn't been so cheap. I rarely paid more than face value but was willing to do the hard work to chase down Gems...
I love searching for nice attractive clads in circulation. Now days a lot of the older coins are almost invariably heavily worn and many are...
Congratulations on finishing the set and thank you for the kind words. I've found a lot of nice Gems in rolls over the years. Some dates are...
It looks almost natural! The counterfeit is cool, too.
I've been watching them since Thanksgiving of 1965 when I got my first one and tried to take it apart. I started collecting them in 1972 when I...
Back in those days "moderns" were the most widely collected of all coins. The coin market largely consisted of countless millions of young baby...
Nice specimen that has seen only a few months of circulation. These were horded by the millions and they are still drifting back into circulation.
1983. Very poor strike from a not so good die.
It could have been hit with a lawn mower or something but I suspect a lot of these come from car shredders and reprocessers. It's hard to redeem...
That coin has been repaired. You don't see a lot of these in circulation but if they are done well they'll work in a vending machine. They are...
You speak as though coins are just sitting around waiting to be cashed in. Coins have never sat around much except back before 1972 and the FED...
Even if the total numbers of cash transactions decreased in a given year the 3 to 5% attrition rate will assure that large mintages are still...
No. With a rub it will grade AU-58 at best. I don't think they'll grade FB except on BU coins.
Beautiful coin but you're certainly right it has an obverse rub (at least). Hard to tell if it's FB or not.
Even if it really has a rub there probably aren't 100,000 finer examples. Nearly 35% of the mintage is gone now and most of the rest are vf or...
It's a shame it has a rub since the coin is a real beauty. It is hammered (very well struck). It would be nice to get a look at the obverse as...
The problem is that '83-P dimes are scarce in BU. The bigger problem is most of them look like junk. Nice well struck specimens that were made...
Separate names with a comma.
