That's GREAT! I guess I'm a coin nerd... I check every coin for doubled everything, I had to explain to people about my comment that K11 on a bill...
So, I was coming home from work today, and I stopped and picked up $25 in pennies.... What I didn't realize until just NOW is that they're all in...
Because my local coin shop has the 1857 FE Cent in BU condition sitting - tempting me - right in the glass case every single day I'm there!!!!...
Maybe I'm blind or something, but where exactly have we "made fun of" anyone in this thread who may or may not have found an error? A question was...
Carmella, yes, I re-roll and return all the coins that I don't want IN THE BOX I GOT THEM IN back to the bank. I usually take out between 1-2...
If you return rolls to banks, go to Wells Fargo or Bank One. I've NEVER had a problem with that at those banks! ~AJ
There it is: In 1943 the mints used the steel for the Lincoln Cent, and in 1944-45 the Brass shellcasings from the war were used to make cents in...
Well, my ventures are going to get more expensive REALLY quickly here. Here's a breakdown of my current sets, and the ventures I'm moving onto...
I know you guys already cleared up the "good" denominations to search through, but I'd also add that if you have a little patience, you can still...

Well, haven't had too much of a chance to look through coins lately - I just started a full-time job on a construction site for my father, but I...
Wow.... that's a cool find! Where do you pick up rolls of halves? I tried at one of the banks nearby, and they had NONE! Do I try an older bank or...
There's a market for both, definately! As for me, I like my coins white, but if I were to come across a really eye-pleasing toned coin (like a...
Sorry... Hey Bruce, thanks a lot, man! It's really cool to finally win something! As for my not responding, I just started a full-time job...
I'd go for it just because it's a good deal, but BE VERY CAREFUL that the coins aren't cleaned or counterfeit. That would just be a bummer....
I love searchin through nickels.... I think Jefferson's are close to being my favorite coin, along with the Lincoln wheat cents. I need ONE MORE...
No, sir, you do not understand me right. All I said is that there are people out there who are serious collectors who collect holed and otherwise...
I just wanted to reiterate Art's point here that MANY people collect SPECIFICALLY holed coins! Personally, I think the holes can sometimes enhance...
I'm going to get more nickels from the bank today - let's hope I find something older than 1970! I didn't even find anything good at work (I work...
I wonder if maybe it was acid washed until the design completely came off both sides, and then the etch was engraved into the coin...?
