No offense, but that serial isn't close to anything.
^^^^^^^ This is an 1875 Philly. Too bad about the hole. Super low mintage unless there is an MM but I don't see it above and to the left of the...
That's good to know. So it won't matter if they change the metals or not, as production costs will always rise, and changing the metal in the coin...
There's 424,470,000 of these.

Could have been shill feedback.
One more zero, you can post it in the "Almost" thread. I'm not seeing a stain. But it wouldn't be the first time. The little smudge at 3 o'clock...

My first instinct is starting to score high.
Dumped a bunch of old nickels (1940, 1941) that I had held onto for years. After I finally gave up that they were never going up in value, into...
Some museums don't allow photos. But I guess with phone cameras that would be more difficult to enforce these days. Looking forward to more Cincy...
