You got one of the 5% that don't look awful. If you take a close look at the Philly cent there will be small carbon spots on the obverse or...
1980 for SBA's. 1974 for cents, and 1970 for nickels. '54 -halfs. '54 quarters. '55 dimes. They've made other dates but they carried no mint...
This has mostly applied to foreign coins to date but the process has already begun with the one cent coin and probably will soo with the nickel....
It seems people have been counting on the existence of mint sets to assure the existence of modern coins into the indefinite future but these...
The '69-P is tough in nice shape and the '69-D is more difficult to find but will often be quite nice when you do. The '68-D is the toughest to...
Most mixed metals like this are used as alloy or "chill scrap" in the production of other metals. Steel shops for instance will get in crates of...
There are about a dozen known silver '65 quarters and a lone clad '64.

There is a separate dispenser for return coins in most modern machines so the only way to get your own coin back is if the machine rejects it....
It is true that there are a lot of coins overpriced in the PCGS guide but don't simply assume any are overpriced. There are also some that are...
Clad quarters wear very slowly because they are extremely durable and their light weight means less force as they slide over surfaces and each...
I believe the truth is just the opposite of this. When I scoured change there was nothing of real interest and no coins that will be valuable at...
