As long as this thread has gone so far off the rails... KFC is very popular in Thailand, of all places. It's horrible there.
Have you ever watched Pawn Stars? Every time I see Rick handle a coin it makes me shudder.
I checked some of them last night and for a few examples the tolerance worked out to fairly exact percentages, for example 4%. Others seem wonky -...
Was it paid for with a cashier's check for $1000 and you gave them back the $200 extra because they just needed to get some cash?
There's no way to judge die rotation from those photos because we have no idea how accurately the coin was flipped. The slight misaligned die is...
If you do your coin collecting while standing instead of sitting, you'll burn 32-50 more calories per hour. You're welcome....
I was wracking my brain for where I'd seem something similar before. Could it be the same process that creates trail dies and so-called wavy...
Odds: Odd because coins from the first reverse design didn't stack properly, so they quickly modified it and started coining reverse II. Why...

Your rotated overlay has the obverse facing the wrong way. It should be a reversed image. I have seen a dozen clashes on the reverse of a Barber...
Silver certificates in that condition are probably only worth face value. I've heard that some coin shops give them in change. Bicentennial...
Is that a Dan Carr? [devil emoji]
That's the continental currency dollar design and not the Fugio cent though, isn't it?
Here is a video with a graphic showing how the upsetting mill puts a rim on the planchet. I can't see how a burr survives that. Maybe? [MEDIA]
True, but the one in the barrel was clearly the result of a "hit." Not sure about the others.
I can understand how that falls under the "defective planchet" umbrella. However, I'm having trouble visualizing how such burrs would survive the...
Now I'm thinking of that body they found in a barrel when Lake Mead dried up. Hope all you find is coins!
To me it's like buying scratch-offs. But if you enjoy the thrill and can afford to throw money at it, I can't argue. Just remember that the house...
Separate names with a comma.
