Stinger, I'm with you on this. :singing: In fact, I've done similarly several times with dollars & halves & then carried them as pocket pieces so...
OK, that's probably fair, but about as much as you want to be into on that specimen.
Matt, by definition we coin collectors are absolved from being known as "idiots". (Unfortunately, this exclusion does not extend to synonyms...
Very nice specimen, but probably not worth the price of grading. That spot on the back looks familiar (I'm not suggesting it was ever mine); can...
Davie, first, welcome to CT. These 2 options are not mutually exclusive. If we have 1 million collectors on CT (OK, that may be a slight over...
Uh, yeah, we did, but she said you do some things right, but said it was just too embarrassing to mention...:jawdrop::joyful::D. We presume it...
He does...he just wears a "fat" suit for Christmas so the kids recognize him. :D:p
Ah yes, the passage of time! Time is an amazing thing put into perspective. Surely the Mint will commemorate the passage of another 50 years....
Yeah, but now we can put the blame on you! :smuggrin: On first glance, I thought that was an image of Santa, on his day job! :D

Well, I guess I'll be the dissenter on this one. I hate making assessments based on pictures, & based on your first pic, I would say definitely...
I bought one about 3 yrs ago as a gift for a friend (large print) & I liked it so much, that, like Randy, I bought one for me. The large print is...
Nice! Always fun to go through rolls new to us. I can't tell for sure on my computer screen, but is that very first pic a "2 feather"?
@7Jags, yes, very nice, classic Egyptian design; I particularly like the cobras on the reverse. The scratches really are distracting, but I...
I think you misunderstood the message: Actually, the Director's strike was going to slow delivery, but some conscientious Mint workers crossed the...
It can probably be refinished OK, but perhaps just a good cleaning & polish; I would start there. Why did you put a dollar bill in the picture? :D
Paddy, you could have posted one at midnight last night & it would still be overdue! You amaze me with your finds. Do you ever go further down...
Q, not at all. If you actually understood my post, you would have understood that I already own several of these, graded, & I have looked at...
Randy, I hear you, sometimes it's difficult to fathom what we see going on. But, (there's always a butt, but not always a but :smuggrin:) coin...
