I'm going to be pretty tough on this one because it's not well centered and I prefer very smooth surfaces rather than the light sort of dimpling...
Don't get in a hurry to sell these. This especially applies to moderns because dealers will almost invariably off very little and then just...
They're supposed to have it but there are also S minted cu/ ni clad coins. The inside of the 40% silver coins have silver in the alloy and...
Drat. I have a couple of these too. I was hoping... I look forward to the next installment.
You're very wrong about one thing; the early dates sure aren't easy to find in the US in any condition at all. I didn't know they were available...
I have a large number of US and world mint and proof sets and can not possibly store them all in my safety deposit boxes. The only solution for...
I'm usually good at this but I'm stimied here. A good approximation of weight might prove crucial. Very heavily polished perhaps?
Exactly! Especially the last paragraph. As a rule it's best to never need to clean a coin but with experience you know not only what the...
You really shouldn't wipe with something that can scratch like paper towles or rough fabric. Anything that you can wipe glasses with should be OK...
You can't see hairlines on a circulated coin. If by some chance you do then just wipe them until they disappear. Rather than wipe I'd suggest...

This is essentially correct but you also have to factor in the value of the time of the people waiting in line for the cashier to count the coins....
What difference does it make if a company steals five pennies from us or one nickel. Maybe the greater efficiency will satiate the CEO sooner.
A lot of the Indian coins are going to prove to be scace in unc. Because of extensive melting a few will end up tough in any grade. I know...
No, but if they left the bark on it could still be 40% clad. I've got the '65 mint set and a few of the coin show medals.
A lot of people are misinformed and believe prices would increase. This is a concept being fostered by the lobbyists whose primary interest is...
They don't need to be separated and it's far too expensive to do it. They will be used for alloy in making products that require both copper...
Let me put it this way. The lobbyists are simply lying when they say that we need the penny and Americans want it. They lie about a supposed...
Separate names with a comma.
