And this is where the publishers have long done a disservice to moderns; they don't list the relative scarcity of nice attractive well made issues...
You apparently haven't tried to find a nice AU 1966 or '83-D cent in circulation recently. The '66's are worn and the '83-D's are mostly gone now...
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Copper pennies have more than 2c worth of copper in them and all of this is recovered when the coins are...
I don't doubt that this is true but I'm not talking about small errors in measuring devices but rather large errors that persist for years....
By definition "faulty" means random but these errors are never random. They invariably favor the house and this requires intention. These guys...
These are just great and a steal to anyone who can give them a good home. If you ever thought of starting a transportation token collection and...
Would it be bad manners to suggest I got a bunch of these? I've always been a big fan of transportation tokens and am keeping only a few of my...
I'd rather see jail sentences really.
Buy the folders to hold coins and fill them with the nicest specimen you can find. Soon enough you'll know what to keep. In the meantime you can...
Very few BU coins were spent in the crash because there were almost none in existence.
OK, it looks like the 100 Hwan was worth only about 8c then.
Interesting stats there. There's no question that there was lots of attrition on these before they were melted and this attrition is ongoing....
Very nice! It's looks very natural.
I should note that for years it was believed large numbers were intercepted from circulation. This seemed plausible at the time but normally if...
The mintage of the '70-S sm dt was quite low. It would be an extremely valuable coin except that it appears in nearly 11% of mint sets. This...
I've heard tell that a lot of the '90's sets have PL's in them but haven't actually seen one. Back in the day I used to pass up '82 and '83 sets...
I'm also curious if @Ed70 knows anything about the circulation of the 1970 $1 coin.
It is certainly getting difficult to find nice AU eagle reverse quarters. Pretty soon even the XF's will be gone.
I'm afraid to even stabilize zincolns in acetone before storage in tubes. But I do. Another thing I do is inspect the coins for plating issues....
Nice specimen. That looks like mint set hazing at the bottom on the reverse. That's probably what did it in.
