Not only are they overpriced, but the condition will be atrocious. Stick to the specialists. A coin shop will have better inventory, better...
Have to be super careful, soap can have lye in it. Maybe $10. Silver content 0.36169 troy oz, silver is low right now, melt value: $5.15.
Hard to tell with gold. I don't know how long they have been faking these, but if Grandma had this 75 years ago why wouldn't it be real? It may be...
7 dime spill at the end. The ring says RL 925, but it says China, the RL could mean Ralph Lauren and it was plated over silver. Will get it...
Being a transitional year doesn't really matter if the metal is correct. It's just slightly heavy. That happens. It prob would be significant if...
Could be a slightly thicker rolled planchet. Compare the thickness of the edge with some other quarters. There is a +/- tolerance number. And even...
I can see it is raised. What I am saying is, if it was a strike through (some object) why would it be raised on the coin? That doesn't make sense....
If it were returned to the mint, it's supposed to be destroyed. What little QC they do, they destroy errors before they leave the mint.
It prob. was not gov't land when the coins were buried. There's way too many laws and lines drawn in the sand. It's all temporary. As for the...
Some kind of fiber or twine? Would that be incused or raised? On the twine strike through?

Yeah that sounds fair. You couldn't make that stuff up.
Imagine finding a struck washer. That would be REALLY VALUABLE.
Some of the dates and MM's are legible in the photo.
What paddy said, and who's to say your scale is 100% accurate. Does it weigh other clads at 5.67? It's prob just a little thicker/heavier (thicker...
They say the $9.50 face is worth $240 today adjusted for inflation, but there could be a rare date in there.
These are rare coins. But in this condition, it's difficult to agree on a price. I bet a dealer wouldn't go over $1000 on it, because he has to...
And the same mint. Those clowns on the night shift at Philly are known for this. All the way back to the 1955 DD. :)
Yes they get rejected for wrong metal. (Like the steelie.) I have found them under the lip of the machine on the FLOOR more than once. And one...
I'm not sure if all woodies show the grain on both sides or not. It was brought up in another thread. You would think that it would have to. But...
Separate names with a comma.
