I've posted this before but it's my 1997 botanical gardens dollar, still in the OGP, that has a tear in the plastic film encapsulating it. Over...
Am I mistaken, or are there no commemoratives scheduled for 2023?
The Royal Mint is issuing a £2 coin commemorating JRR Tolkein in 2023. (No, that's not Gollum on the obverse, for all you Chuckie III haters)...
Ok the rub on the surfaces is certainly there, but it's kind of hard to believe this thing circulated at all. :)
Looks like Kurk Products was in business in the mid-50's, so Inspector43 is probably right about the zip code. They aren't around any more as far...

Tuscaloosa. :) Tennessee is obvious but not getting the BARI-TOAD Michigan.
Good points but I would add billionaires to the list, those who can afford the "finest known" and "rarest" specimens. They seem to do well when...
After looking at it several times, I notice several "buttons" on Liberty's robe, which seem odd. I appreciate these threads
Growing up on the east coast, a long time ago, it was always a thrill to find an S coin.
Coloration looks weird, date looks weird, pimple on Liberty's cheek, what else? (not a series I know much about)
Sorry to hear that but you've got a great coin with a great story.
Cool story. Do you know what the friend did with it?
I assume they use something akin to RFID, which in its simplest form requires no battery and should last indefinitely. They cost less than a...
