@Mountain Man did a nice job getting you links and tips on photography. Your pictures are decent for a newbie, so you'll be snapping some nicer...
Hi Miguel - as our fellow enthusiasts note, just some travel damage with 5 decades in the wilderness. You'll see some strange anomalies with...
I should have told the kids to flip it over but it was the last run to load the truck. And off we went. Curious math fact: If it takes 3...
Well done, @Inspector43. Well done. Pointed out a LSC in the hallway at the dorm yesterday, but hands were full. The kids wouldn't pick it up:...
When I was working crazy long hours, I would hit the soda machine where I worked pretty hard come Thursday and Friday. They had a change machine...
Our fellow enthusiasts have done a nice job explaining the pros and cons. There are varied ways to conserve a coin though, so find one that is...
No worries. I took it in sequence as part of the continuing string.
Yes, I passed over it initially. But thankfully, I tossed it into 'the hoard' for subsequent variety hunting. In the end, it's the most valuable...
As I went through the dates, I started by weighing the coins. Nothing registered as being too high. I then went through the dates looking for...

I love the break from tradition!! I'll bet it'll look real sharp too!! Don't forget to post a follow-up picture should you win.
Hi Manny - Have a look at these for further information: Finally Found a 1939 Henning Nickel | Page 2 | Coin Talk Henning Nickel (error-ref.com)...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts. DDR-002. Nice find!!
A friend of mine was angrily packing up his car after a vacation was cut short. He looked in the parking spot next to his car and saw a ball of...
Actually, I think Cents and Nickels are the way to go. That is, for collectables (old coinage, variety coins, and error coins). Nickels are...
It really depends on what it is that you want to find...aside from Wheats and Silver. I usually search Cents and Nickels and find that enjoyable....
Hi Jeff...it's possible, but I think something else is going on. The devices are weak on both sides of the coin in the same spot. And I see a...
This one stood out to me tonight. Weight is correct but still deciding on what is contributing to the lack of detail on the outer devices....
