But if it was found in a mint roll, why would it show after-mint damage?
Unless you happen to be the guy who "surrepetitiously purchased these from a mint employee" back in 1933, I would seriously doubt that you or...
Clogged die, perhaps? I also notice a litte "glob" of extra metal right above the smooth area below the eagle's eye.... maybe a lamination flaw?...
Heck yeah! Send one out my way! We haven't even gotten the new OiV nickels out in Arizona at my bank yet!
Thanks - I really was loving it when I pulled out a 1909-P.... made me wonder what else could be in there (I'll admit, I was pretty hopeful that...
Yeah, that's the new "Pimpled Jefferson Variety" nickel - supposedly only found in the West African jungles of Qatar near the Fountain of...
I just got done sorting the MOST AMAZING BOX OF PENNIES EVER! You won't believe the final totals:...
Agreed with all of the above - as someone who goes and "buys" coins from various banks all the time, I'd like to add also that it may even be...
Well, I don't have much, but I found a VF Series 1950 A $20 in my till at work once, so I bought it! I'm holding on to it to see if it will go up...

Sorry, guys, I'm gonna have to go Ocean in View. The Peace Medal design is too dull, and the Keelboat is more reminiscent of ancient trading...
That's because the legislation that controls the mintage and design of state quarters specifically says that the quarters shall have designs...
Obviously, everybody is going to mostly agree that cleaning is bad. But if you really want shiny coins and are NOT AT ALL concerned with potential...
Unofrtunately, my digital camera is broken at the moment, so I con't yet post a photo, but the coin does indeed measure 32mm, made of copper, and...
Anybody know anything about an Azores 1795 20 Reis overstrick on a 1795 10 Reis coin? Guy told me he'd seen something about it in the Standard...
Indeed it would be.... which is why I don't think it means Rome, because otherwise it would probably have an "A" on the end. On the other hand,...
If it says ROM (which I would doubt stands for Rome, anyway), then why, exactly can't it be from Italy? I was under the impression that Rome was...
