Hey, as a "hobbyist", I appreciate any humor that can be mustered. Maybe I am not taking all this seriously enough ? LOL Of course, I am just...
I would really like to thank everyone who has chatted with me about this. I learned a lot. I did see a pic of this coin listed as a "restrike" by...
I have a tendency to question things until they are settled in my mind. I have had too many "experts" tell me things that weren't exactly as they...
The funny thing about the pawn shops here in Las Vegas is that they are very over priced on the items they sell. I shopped for a commercial planer...
It is a counterfeit "S". They don't buy it. But I took my 1932 S to a coin dealer after the show was aired the 1st time. Initial offer was $35....
That sure makes it interesting. Perhaps that a single defective machine damaged a few thousand or maybe only a few hundred at the same time, or...
I have never been to Rick's store, but I have been to a few coin dealers here in Las Vegas. The buy-sell range is very wide ! I recently took a...
I am sure glad you asked about this. I found 3 old Whitman folders that had scotch tape over the coins. Tape fell off, but left residue on the...
Cool
I do understand that. What amazes me though is that all the pics of the one I have seen appear to be evenly toned. So the damage must have...
Absolutely correct. But as I said, a lot of conversation about it for sure. Not the typical 1941 at all. LOL Sorry, I do this for the enjoyment....
Yes, we have really been brainwashed when we collect coins. We are made to believe that coins issued by a government that were never intended to...
There is one thing that I have noticed though. Error coins are being listed as they come up all the time. Coppercoins.com even asks to post a pic...
What a great find ! Like I was saying, this coin is far more interesting than a regular 1921. Also, it doesn't have a mint mark. Maybe that is one...
The funny part is: they say it decreases the value of the coin. BUT I have had much more conversation and interest displayed in a really funky...
That's GREAT ! No grandkids here, but I got to hold a friend's daughter's newborn for awhile last week. There is no describing the joy of holding...
I see that I called it a 1944 on the thread title. LOL That's because I have some pics of 1944 with a really funky looking "S". It is looks like...
I have seen the posts in earlier threads of this cent. I understand that many feel it is not an error, but post mint damage caused by the hook on...
1841 slanted 1 I have the EXACT same coin and have compared it to what looks like a twin image of it listed on eBay a while back. I cannot see...
I was in the 121st Assault Helicopter Co, Soc Trang, RVN 1967-69. (Soc Trang Tigers) Started a collection on the Scouts that became a hoard for...
