Hmmm, I gather the pop report is inaccurate unless they crossed it over to PCGS then actually returned the label to NGC. The HA description said...
That's not true at all, the reason that something is polished before it is plated is to improve the finish. Just so you can compare, this is what...
No one here is skeptical about the mint making mistakes. We are very aware that they make millions of mistakes every year (which is not bad for...
It looks to be chrome plated. BTW, when did the US start making pennies?
Yea, I know the words are really synonymous @xGAJx, just a personal pet peeve so I often will ask when the US started producing pennies. There's...

To me, the silvers were never intended to be anything other than sold to collectors, so calling them circulation strikes is misleading. Having...
I did a proof set of three cent nickels about 15-20 years ago without much of a problem, but have been working on the business strikes ever since....
I've been looking for an AU or better 1885 three cent nickel for years, but haven't found one that I like yet. Maybe I'm just being too picky when...
My son collected for a bit and has a pretty good eye. But now he's thirteen and is more interested in girls and video games. I'm not much on video...
