I found a clipped planchet error coin in a roll of BU nickels I recently purchased.
As usual, you are correct, Doug. The only problem, I have, is that I have never been to a bank that had a counting/rolling machine. There...
I can't recommend eBay as a venue for buying, unless you are intimately familiar with the items you are bidding on, and have a clear understanding...
i can't answer "when" they started using the lesser known numbers, but I believe some of the numbers they use are as follows... Poor-1...
These are dime-sized bronze. [IMG] [IMG] and... [IMG] [IMG] TIA for your help. Jody
Very nice, Bruce. :kewl:
The "easiest/most affordable" option would be to shop around for a complete set. I would say, "no". A Mint set is usually sold for more than...
Just wanted to add my thanks, as well. Our computer crashed a few weeks ago, and I lost most of my bookmarks. Doug's link section has helped...
I can only relate what was told to me, by a dealer from that same era. He told me that the boxes (or cases) were sealed for shipment through the...

I could imagine someone would easily pay a couple hundred for it. It looks like it has been dipped. If the surfaces were original, it could go...
Great story! Thanks for sharing it with us, I find many pre-1960 nickels, but that is due to the fact that I search hundreds of rolls, and...
Yeah. I know what you mean. :rolling:
Neat find. The close-up pictures are pretty good. I'm not sure I would call it an "error", though. I think of errors as coins that would...
Interesting. The only problem, I have with your reasoning, is that they are not "coins". They are created collectibles, just like Beanie Babies....
It's been my experience that buying a complete set is less costly than buying the coins one at a time. I believe you must factor in the costs...
Don't know for sure. I suspect quite a few. There has been a flood of new interest sinse the Statehood quarter program. Many of the newer folks...
Oh, well. Guess we can't rely on slabs to tell us what is what, anymore. Guess it's back to doing our homework, and only purchasing from people...
