Welcome to the forum. Haven't heard of a 2091 dime being found in circulation. I could speculate that it is simply a 2001 with some type of...
Ah, but that's exactly my point. The term "no rays variety" does not apply to an 1868 nickel. The only date that has a "no rays" variety is...
guy, The word "value" can mean different things. If you are only interested in how much you can sell your coins for, then no, it would seem...
Hey rick, I'd like to thank you too, as well as everyone else that makes this such a great place to discuss our hobby. BTW, my wife asked me...
Don't take it too hard, jimmy. We have all made mistakes along the way. I'm a somewhat old coin collector that has been involved in the hobby...
These are known as Liberty Cap half dimes. This particular date had a mintage of 1,370,000. Not rare by any means, but the amount of remaining...

Let's see.. Of course there's the Krause catalog. And when you're ready to branch out a bit, the Standard Catalog of United States Tokens...
I've heard some wild ideas before, but some of these take the cake. If you don;t know, ask someone that does. If you don't know, don't...
Do you mean the 2004-D?

Somalia issues a 1 oz. silver round called a "Monkey". Zambia's is called an "Elephant".
Interestingly of the two examples to be discovered so far, both were found in Florida. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that FL...
Darn! I tried to edit my post before you saw my silly question. :D
Well, no doubt it's one of the best I've seen a picture of.
I've talked to the gentleman who made the initial discovery. (via another internet coin forum) He is quite proud of his accomplishment, and...
That's a beautiful example. I hope it can find a new home with someone who will truly appreciate it. I'm sure that won't be a problem.
