I bought a red seal $2 bill (I don't remember the date) off the 'Bargain wall' at a coin shop a few years ago. It had a tear and some stains, but...
Thank you! That's very helpful. I'm also very impressed by those photos GreatWalrus - these are tiny coins, and those photos are amazing. I'm...
Hmm. That sounds reasonable. How would one conduct a specific gravity test? I've heard of them, but am a bit weak on the theory / practice.
I've always been a bit flummoxed by these - why were some 1967 Canadian coins minted in 80% silver and others in 50%? They both seem to have been...

Speaking of coins with insets - I just came across a whole series of medals with meteorite fragments embedded in them. It looks like someone is...
Dangit. I got the score right but not the winning team. Congrats GJ!
Yeah, could be. But, the seller will be hard pressed to argue that those are coins, much less "US Gold Coins".
$101 at the closing bell. If there are even 2 x US 1/10 ouncers in there, I think I come out ahead. (Is there a combination of US Gold Coins that...
