I enjoy your periodic science class reminders. Good for the learning/relearning process! Inspector - nice recovery efforts. Like you, I took a...
Interesting sleuthing folks. And a contributing photo from Coop. I have one like Coop’s somewhere…but I don’t recall the date on mine.
I think that should be fine. The first couple of nickels will need to be watched closer but as it is used more, the dip may take an hour or more....
what I see here is deterioration. It becomes more obvious as the die ages as the outer/edge devices seem to slide towards the rim. Sometimes it...
Not a new idea but a fun one for hobbyists. Have fun!
Yes Inspector. Here’s what I’ve learned with the white vinegar/hydrogen peroxide mix. 50/50 - results are fast but a more coarse etch. When...
The Inspector’s specimens were put into a vinegar and hydrogen peroxide solution. I prefer this over the acid drop over the date or mm. The coin...
I am sure you will. The thing is that a pocket change find may have numismatic interest or personal interest. I recall the first time a received...
Unfortunately, this specimen spent time in a parking lot. But an older specimen from Canada nonetheless. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Keep in mind that not all denominations, especially those preceding the ‘80s will have a P mint mark to designate Philadelphia mint coinage. I...
And another LWC…from same Dunkin drive through.
To your point, these are some of the dateless nickels I recovered during CRH events. Folks would be surprised at what flows through their...
I saw this thread yesterday and agree with your position. With the doubling occurring more towards the center as well. Typical for this class of...
I kept my 1934 $20 too...has a fun story to it now and my oldest piece of US Currency. To add to the LCS story, the owner brought me a crisp 1934...
This reminded me of a 1934 $20 I got from a customer when collecting on my paper route. I was a coin collector, but something about finding a...
Another common Star Note received on the 4th… [ATTACH]
I’ve noticed a decrease in 50 yo coinage over the past few years. Older coinage is rarer yet. Not to say they are not in the tills, but aligning...
Took my brother a bit to get to the photos. Received in change a McDonald’s and properly seasoned as one might expect. I told him to rinse it off...
As noted, conserving the coin may be of interest, but TPG activities and costs are out of scope. Do a search here on coin conservation...you'll...
Nice LWCs, folks! I collected one last week from McD's run (first run in many months). I left my change in my brother's car and I'm waiting for...
