I can't say for sure, about the quarters, but the best '82 and '83 nickels, I have, came from aftermarket "mint sets". :)
I must be getting old, Andy. I didn't even notice that. :(
Well, guess you'd better put on your bib. ;) LINK #1 LINK #2 LINK #3
This is why I think it is omm-008. Looks the same, but I could be wrong. [IMG]
You can be sure that our new friends will be made to feel comfortable here at their new home, Peter. BTW, for those who don't know me, my name...
You bet they will be welcome. :)
I am also a little concerned with the advice on "dipping". While PVC residue and petroleum gunk should be removed from a coin, (and Acetone is...
I haven't seen that auction before, Dave. The seller sure has a lot of unhappy customers. I also noticed that he/she has started witholding...
I believe it is OMM-008. I'm not a variety specialist, and would advise you to wait for one to chime in, though. BTW, nice camera work.
On the web, and reasonably priced? That's a tough one. You can find them by doing a little creative "Google" searching, but the "reasonably...
LOL, I knew what it was before I even clicked on your link. Yeah, this has been a hot topic on a lot of coin forums. It's not a concern to me,...

Don't let that worry you. ;) It seems that some people's computers only ask questions. :p
No, but that's a good point. :) Personally, I don't consider melted coins, to be artistic. :rolleyes: Now, someone else might, but...
I think the main problem, with that auction, is that the potential buyer is put in a position of trusting the seller's word, that the item is 8.5...
That may be true, sylvester. I suppose that British coinage is your strong point, but I would also guess that you have a far better understanding...
Yeah, I'll say it's "nice". :cool: Just look at the detail on the wheat stalks. It had to have been near AU when it was lost. Just out of...
I see your point, Sylvester. That coin is truly unique in it's design. How many others are octagonal, and have an owl sitting amongst a bunch of...
I only have one family member who ever asks me what I want for Christmas. I told her (my wife) that I had everything that I wanted, and that...
