That’s what I get for my money and time invested in these contests. Where I get my fun. Seeing what people will pick, and learning what they...
Not many of us can afford to! I consider myself lucky to own two common date examples (1899-S PCGS 62 & 1923 PCGS 64). And before my inheritance...
Exciting news- the prize offerings are about to expand considerably this month! None of this new stuff is in hand yet, let alone added to the...
We never named our Penny cats after the coin, either. Ladymarcovan named Penny the First before she and I ever met. And our daughter named Penny...
Oh, as mentioned, the one I posted isn’t mine. I linked to its eBay listing. Agreed. John Brown was a zealot, and zealots are dangerous. You...
Aww, Stevie. He’s got good company, up there with many of my furry friends on the other side of that Rainbow Bridge.
Naah, that would be a waste of a $35+ slab. (Not that I’m the one who paid for it- I bought the coin already slabbed.) Unless you were actually...

Post pictures of it, in its own topic. It depends on the grade, the mint, and other factors. We can help you with it when we can see it.
It is immediately obvious to anyone who’s seen any kind of misstruck coins. Plus, glue or adhesive buildup on coins is not metal, and with any...
New prize option added to the Giveaway Gallery. (Details here.) (100 coins) World coin assortment including some older pieces and 2 silver coins...
If you get it appraised, the value you will be told is: one cent. Better luck with the next one!
(Merged the two threads about this coin into one.)
As mentioned, that’s glue residue or some similar post-mint contamination. Those rounded arc-like features show where other coins were once stuck...
Somebody nudge me when 1800 comes. I have a 1799 waiting in the wings.
Yay! Tip o’ the hat! And YOU get an extra entry in the drawing for that. (This post will count as that, when the drawing rolls around.) Our...
