Just a few categories of interest for the novice. Modern - Pretty much anything dated after 1964 when they discontinued most silver use in the...

Is this a contemporary to the HOBO Nickels?
I wonder if this will spawn development of something similar to facial recognition software to detect counterfeits? I can see similarities in the...
I only have one of these, but it's only because I won't bid high enough. I've seen many of these sniped. But the question remains, is it because...

I ran across the source for rarity survey....

Rarity is a very crude sample of coins in Heritage Auctions which are labeled with Metcalf ID. ie Quick and Dirty. It is not an estimate of the...
Just an error correction (8+7=15) for Reverse D in case anyone decides to use the photos for attribution: [ATTACH]
