Common date buffalos like yours are worth about 50¢ in average circulated condition. Your pennies are face value (the 2009 issues are interesting...
They minted almost 1.7 billion bicentennial quarters so the circulated specimens like yours aren't worth a premium. They're an interesting piece...
Sorry to hear about Mr. Ahr. I knew Dennis Williams was just a student when he won the dollar design back in 1976 and the answer to the trivia...
Thank you for the recipe - does this have a shelf life? In other words, if one were to mix up a bottle of it, how long might it remain viable?
Bring back the bicentennial design contest winners. They're still around, aren't they? [ATTACH]
Thanks for all the replies. I had decided upon an acetone bath and a transplant into a Capital holder when I came upon the vintage holder below (a...
Yuck! How did that get past quality control?
Thanks for the link. That sulfur test is a real eye-opener.
Yes, a good theory. Perhaps someone or something deposited a concentrated, corrosive substance on the coin at some point. I know that sulfur is...
I'm curious about this coin and I see there is a lot of expertise here. It was this way when I purchased it at an auction a long time ago. What is...

The rules also say they are going alphabetically. So do we get Alabama, Alaska, Arizona and Arkansas up first?
Not really - that coin and it's description really exists in the PCGS database. They just try to fabricate a reasonable facsimile to fool the...
In addition to Thomas Edison and the Wright Bros, Ohio can lay claim to the vacuum cleaner, automobile starter, traffic light, and teflon....
Wow, that is sad. Even worse, the verification numbers check out on the PCGS site.
It seems unnecessary since the event was already marked by the 1997 Jackie Robinson commems (which I like). Never mind the silliness of square coins.
This is a 1962 proof in the cellophane pack. I'm assuming the red spot is the early stages of silver toning but I've never seen a spot develop in...
Thomas Jefferson looks a little creepy. The ATB reverses are nice. Jim Thorpe design is a little busy in reverse.
Received mine in the mail today. They look rather good, in an odd sort of way.
The original poster stated the coin weighs 3.0 g vs. the 3.1 g standard. I stated "I don't think the [electromagnetic tricks] are in play". What...
