Because of the different composition of war nickels 35% silver 56% copper 9% manganese as opposed to the normal 75% copper 25% nickel, I agree...
I was with the lowball 64 people.
I haven't tried to acetone it, as I thought the fingerprint was kind of cool. But it is def. etched into the coin and not surface debris. And it...
Here is one of my coins that I believe is a fingerprint. If it's not, then please tell me what it is. It appears a little differently than what...
What are the 1st and last numbers? Perhaps there's 1 inside that's a good number.
This is the order of the most rarest, to the least rare. So even if it was a Wide AM, it's really not a big deal. The 92's are the most important...
OK I haven't read that. But if you have a link I would like to.

Copper is $2.68 a pound. Why pay $40? Grams in a pound 453.592 so 500 grams is around 1.1 lbs. Which is $3 worth of copper. As for copper pennies,...
It was my understanding, that even though lighter, the zinc cents had the same +/- .13 tolerance. Has this been updated to .10? Thank you.
Mark Hoffman (convicted felon) who confessed to making this coin, (the secret service says there's no evidence he made it) if he had the dies why...
I don't think that was the intention. I think that part was an accident.
This is not true. A number of 1983 cents have been discovered on copper planchets. And a few later dates than that as well. One of the off metal...
Sterling silver is 92.5%. Except for some of the trimes, I think all US coin silver is 90/10. Current silver proofs seem to be .999
