That seems to match what I've read and seen. If Elaine has any evidence to the contrary, I'm certainly interested. Also, I would love to get...
How do you identify this as a mule instead of the relatively common 1918-s 5 centavo (with both obverse and reverse of the correct dies)?...
Well, that's a shame. It seems like the two of us would have had plenty to chat about (and I joined just around then).
There are some beautiful pictures in this thread, so I think it deserves a bump. Also - I greatly enjoyed the story about how the new coins were...
It's a bit hard to see the coin in that picture. Do you have a scan of the coin? The bigger, and higher DPI the better for identifying it. I've...
A few other countries mint to the same standard. You may find your coin listed on this site: http://www.islamicmint.com/dinar_dirham/index.html
The 20 centavos is in fine to very fine. I'd give it a F-12 grade (and that's net, with the reverse bringing it up). The Morgan doesn't look...
Well, banks do have reserve requirements, so the halves aren't hurting them. Except possibly in storage costs.
Nice! Now I've got something else to look for in junk bins. Thanks for sharing!
These "commemorative" coins are pure schlock, in my opinion. They aren't raising funds for a cause, and they contain a deceptively low amount of...
Good pickups there! The bins in my neck of the woods tend to be 10/$1, but it's been ages since I found any silver. There are occasional low...
There's a thread on those here: http://www.cointalk.com/t149938/ Do you have any scans? I'd love to see yours.
This may be slightly off topic, but has anyone had the chance to personally look at coins slabbed by Progressive National Coin? I know that...
Very interesting. That's an aspect of fuel use I hadn't considered. Without delving into sensitive data, do you happen to know what an average...
This seems a bit dubious: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360341278835 Why would anyone break a coin out of a slab and then...
That's a beauty!
I didn't know that - thanks!
It looks VF30 to me, although it might grade a few points higher. Are those marks on the reverse at 9:00 on the coin, or on a mylar surface...
So, what was the resolution? Did you register a complaint with eBay? Get anything back? I recently bought a pig in a poke off eBay from a...
On my renters policy, I was surprised to learn that it covers up to $5,000 of collectible comic books, but only $250 of collectible coins. I...
Separate names with a comma.
