Your 1922 looks really close to VAM-2EO. Yours has an extra crack near 9 though and the one through the neck is not as advanced below WE....
Correct, formerly the Field Museum. Marshall Field (department store founder) funded the construction.
I believe the Field Museum is the only remaining building from the Columbian Exposition....
I haven't and I wouldn't spend money just to warn people on ebay. Ebay doesn't care about counterfeits. What interests me more are the ones a TPG...
Good score. I love an AU58 Barber, often way more appealing than MS62-63 and cheaper.
It's actually slightly more than a metric tonne, 32500 ozt which is 2228.6 lbs. I'm not that greedy so I'd probably get this one. Also it's...
I think it's simpler to assume that the master design hub from 1883-1908 created a master die for 1909 that was then punched with the date, then...

Moms are such buzz killers. Unrelated to coin collecting, somewhere around 1964, kindergarten age, my brother and I pulled our little red wagon...
Now try $3.04.
I couldn't remember who came up with that, I know we bantered back and forth calling it different things. I guess I figured Beer Belly B might be...
Kwik Trip has 11.5 million customers per week, almost 600 million per year. It only needs to cost them 0.3 cents per customer visit, 2 cents for...
Around 1975 a guy came into the ice cream parlor and paid with this crisp unc 1934 $5 silver certificate (very old photo). Unfortunately I put it...
ANA has my email for the past several years and I have not gotten any phishing emails. It's possible that my provider recognizes these somehow and...
The shortage made it to BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20556ly45eo "Many stores are now rounding their cash sales down to the nearest...
