The thing I like most is the S mint mark. San Fransisco stopped minting coins for circulation, so that makes it more interesting.
Nope. Magnets don't stick to it.
1909 S VDB I mean. I might be lysdexic . . . . um . . . . dyslexic.
Does anybody know if this is actually worth anything?...
The guy is a fool. $100,000 for a simple filled die error? The 1090 s VDB Lincoln cent isn't even worth that much!
Why does it seem like the majority of the minting errors are coming out of Philadelphia?
I was lucky enough to find two of those myself. I worry that some counterfeiter could amass a large number of planchets and mint counterfeits of...
It's great when somebody doesn't know the value of the coins they're selling you. Huh? :D

That would be cool. Littleton Coins only has 2011 Quarters, halves, and Dollar coins. Still trying to find a bank that doesn't run out of Half...
Most of the coins in my area seem to be Denver. I need the Philadelphia issue 2011 ones now. It's frustrating.
I'd look at it under a microscope. The 1914-D doesn't have VDB under Lincoln's bust. I'd look for that. I'd also check the mint mark just to be...
I've been going out into the desert right off of Hunt HWY in Florence, AZ. Way out, there are foundations from old houses. And a giant wash....
I recently bought a metal detector and would like to know if any of you can advise me on how to detect old coins in the desert. Old house...
