Welcome to Coin Talk. What you have there is a coin with dryer damage. Another way of getting this is spooning. Here are some links to read...
Give the experts a day or so. They'll get around here soon enough. I doubt the Mint would be any help at all to you. They could care less about...
That's been my contention also. The framers did not choose their words hastily.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ona-RhLfRfc I do like that Bennie Hill chap though.
I use a po box. I don't think it's ridiculous at all to assume that there could be those out there who are trying to figure out where the hoard...
I think those who merely voted "present" should run for public office. :hammer:
Ditto. To me it would boil down to a security issue. Especially with coins. If I were trying to sell a 500 pound piece of furniture then I...
I don't think anyone here would argue against your free exercise of your beliefs. You're not printing the currency though(hopefully :D ); the...
That's definitely a plating issue. Though it's a unique one, it wouldn't really add any value. You might find someone who would give you a buck...
I'll second that. It's great to be able to discuss these matters in an adult way that does not result in the thread being closed or people being...

Doug, Regardless of how much we wink-wink and nudge-nudge(some Monty-Python humor for those who've seen the skit :D ), I think we all know which...
Also keep in mind that many of the cents produced from 73-86 came from West Point. No mint-mark though, so you have no idea of knowing whether...
You should pay $8000 for it, and I have one to sell. :D I think the going rate for good uncirculated examples is $30-$35. There were only about...
Regardless of authenticity, I do have a question; am I missing something. Is this "super-strike" a collectable variety? I mean it seems to me...
Now I see what you're talking about.
I agree. Looks like someone ran a sharpening filter over it to make the details sharper and then did a bad job using the clone-stamp tool to...
This all reminds me of the joke about the wife, who fed up with her husband constantly being gone fishing said, "We're not having sex again until...
Absolutely not unless what is objectionable violates that individuals rights. The issue here though is not whether it is objectionable or not,...
This is one of the few areas I'll have to disagree with you. Our founding fathers believed in the liberties of the individual and knew that the...
Separate names with a comma.
