So is it even worth asking Dan Sedwick for an opinion if the weight is truly a show stopper? Perhaps the coin is still worth something if it is a...
It weighed in at 26.68g. Is that definitely underweight even considering the wear?
Not sure but I can try to weigh it tomorrow at work. What should it weigh?
I bought this coin in the mid to late 90's during a Navy port visit to San Juan, Puerto Rico. I later showed it to a dealer who told me that it...
If I was going to overpay for a coin, a half cent would be one of my top choices, especially if it had attractive surfaces. The pleasure of...
The state quarters as a whole were a fantastic idea and a great way to bring new people into the hobby. But some of the designs really leave a...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I've always wanted a Norfolk since I was stationed there in the late 90's. I couldn't pass this one up, especially...

I've had coins that looked improperly dipped and this was especially visible when tilting the coin. Like a funky sort of residue that isn't...
In 1983 there were cents that got plated with brass instead of copper due to zinc bleeding into the copper, that's what I was referring to. Not...
In all seriousness it may be an improperly mixed alloy. I do remember finding one of similar color in a mint sewn bag. Not sure how that could...
There's really no magic to any of it. Just don't overpay for coins when you buy them so that when you sell them you may not make money, but at...
