That was fast! It wasn't supposed to arrive until Monday. Kudos to USPS for a change. The cover is creased but yeah, I didn't use it much other...
I just noticed something else in the law - it only applies to counterfeits manufactured after Nov. 29, 1973, the date the hobby protection act was...
Never going to happen. Even the US Mint calls it a penny....
Don't forget how much money that guy spend on travel to get the house. To Vancouver, to Seattle, to MA, to CA, to NY, to Quebec at least,...
Seems like it would be pretty easy to counterstamp the fake die though. "Come from overseas" was the key to the question for me. Doesn't seem like...
See my posts #17 and #19 on the previous page. Yes they are all going through Stack's and I'm guessing the same as the Dec 24 auction of 230...
I enjoyed reading the story, but from trade #6 on (skipping #7 and #8 perhaps), it seemed to have more to do with celebrity, publicity and/or...
I received that email too and this part was perplexing: "The first event under the new ownership will be a smaller and more intimate...
On the rounding thing, I'll point out that due to a lack of clear guidance from the government, some retailers like Quik Trip have implemented a...
@samclemens3991 The reverse design was adapted from Longacre's Seated Liberty dime reverse but it is not the same. As I mentioned in the other...
You hit the proverbial nail on the head. Not only that, but they made a big splash about how special the last 5 were going to be, $2-5 million...
Theres 232 sets of them now.
Found it. It was the December 2024 auction of the 230 Flowing Hair anniversary coins with the super special privy mark. The first coin struck...
I wish I could remember what coin Stack's did this with a few months ago. I think the cancelled dies were also in the last lot? Or something...
But have we heard the last of the last of all the "last" nonsense? My December coin budget only has enough for the 1804 dollar.
I've scratched my head over how the obverse changes were done and gave up. The portrait was ever so slightly reduced in size such that the ribbon...
Just got this email from Stack's. There doesn't appear to be a link to an article, just the contents of the email, so I'll post as screenshots. So...
I'm wondering the same. Jamaica or whoever felt the need to store those in a vault in NYC didn't claim them after recovery? Or they got offered...
It's in the mail. Don't worry about postage, it was cheap. Glad to find a useful home for it. I'll PM you the tracking number.
The last freshly minted penny (received by me). Post yours! [ATTACH]
