Something about this cent just doesn't look quite right. The weak strike at the obverse top while the rest of the coin appears to be heavily...
This was a little extreme but it illustrates my point http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr/01/world/fg-atm1 You should probably discuss Halacha...
That's right, but the thing that really says it's not a counterfeit is that the seller doesn't say what it is. It's not purported to be anything...
Since it doesn't have a value as part of the design, and the seller doesn't claim that it is a US coin, there probably isn't anything really wrong...
When I read this i swore I'd just keep my mouth shut, but things like this P*** me off. Do you think that just because it was a machine, it was...
I think it's like The Face On Mars. If you look at a pattern of random markings, your mind tends to fill in something familiar. I don't see what...
It's a transition stage, the same as coins in your pocket that you got yesterday and plan to spend tomorrow. It'll just be a longer period...
Actually, quite a few, comparatively. I just took a look in my change jar, where I put my pocket change every day. In three handsfull of coins I...
It might seem hard to believe but today was the first day that I found a 2005 Jefferson/Buffalo nickel in circulation. And also the third time...

You should probably go for the whole works instead of picking one at a time and leaving her to work at selling the rest. Without the Lincolns,...
Conder101 is essentially correct in that a zinc coating is deposited onto the copper of the cent and it forms brass when heated (melted) to the...
[IMG] Now that you've cleaned it up, what are those two rectangles behind Lincoln's neck? An artifact of lighting, damage from the Dremel or ??...
Great way to think outside the box. You solved a problem in a completely novel and practical way.
What I'm doing (at least for now) for my type set is I put the coins in 2x2s and put them in the slots of the binder page. Then, I got a clear...
I can say it. Look at dimes from your pocket change and you'll see they're marked up and nicked. Now, if a dime undergoes enough accidental...
This process of turning a penny into gold has been around for a long time. Here is a video of the process; it's really quite impressive when you...
I would do that. It won't hurt the coin itself.
