They are out there. Go to your local bank and ask for $20 in nickels. Odds are you will find at least 1. As the year has gone on they have been...
Give you that - I confused the issue a little :o what's new :) But - the mirror surface condition of the first coin versus the Quarter are much...

Use a site like photobucket (it's free) and attach the photo from there and then the size will not matter. After uploading the photo to Photbucket...
Those finger prints detract from the coins appeal. What looks like a couple small dings and I give it a 68.
And that's exactly what I was wondering prior to Doug's post. I figured that the folks that know more about such errors might chime in. Every...

These are the areas I'm talking about: [IMG][IMG][IMG]
Before I read your post I was wondering what was happening on the reverse. There seems to be raised areas there to the right and left of the...
