Nice find! Makes me wonder if the dealers sometimes throw a prize in the bin once in a while just to see how long it takes for someone to find it....
I subscribe to Coin World and Coinage. Between the two, I prefer Coinage for the simple fact that there is way less advertisements, and Ed Reiter...
I have to give coin collecting the edge. I have yet to break a leg, break an arm, or sprain an ankle (all of which I have done) while making a...
It is clear this guy is either trying to be funny, cute, or entertaining. Sadly, he has fallen into none of these categories. Annoying, pathetic,...
There are a lot of 1921 and 1928 peace dollars at Chinese estate sales where no one died. I personally would not buy a 1928 peace dollar without...
It is definitely a novelty item. Is there any markings on the reverse? My guess is a company or organization did this for their 20th anniversary.
I used top work at a small service garage, and let it be known I was interested in any coin out of the ordinary that ended up in the till. There...
As long as you have no outstanding bills, I'd work on those Franklins! I built my set, and am also thinking of upgrading a few I bought in...
You are probably lucky your sister passed on the $15 deal. The merc was probably a common date worth melt, and the buffalo nickels were likely...
O.K., davidh, I read your complete post, and found it very informative and interesting. It only leaves me with one question, since I do not own...
I completely agree with you, sir. Most Americans (including myself) took considerable wage cuts in recent years. I don't see any elected officials...

Good point. I wish my job entailed days upon days of debate, with nothing for an end product, with great wages and benefits (not to mention...
In a time where the gov't is looking near and far to save money, I don't understand why they just don't get it over with and eliminate the darn $1...
I think it would be a good approach for problem coins and highly circulated coins, but I would avoid using them on anything that has luster on it....
I suspect maybe a little bit, but realistically what could they possibly do with them? Getting them graded by a TPG would let the cat out of the...
Not getting on the silver subject or any thing. But, are you a member of any of the banks you are asking for half rolls at? Being a member would...
Sort of seems like a typical ebay listing to me... old not so rare, not so nice stuff that will go for waaaay too much!
Congrats! Now maybe you'll get bitten by the bug someday and start a Merc dime collection. It is a great series to assemble. I'd love to do it all...
In the Post Office's defense, they could have just left the package in your mailbox, and just forged your signature.
