I'm saying that something has appeared which had been removed. The coin was dateless, meaning that it had been worn down to the point that you...
I've seen various methods of truning coins in old, full contact holders like this. I'm curious to hear if these sorts of methods work on pronged...
You are absolutely correct. The coin in post 1 is definitely not the same coin as post 3. Just look at the gash in the A on coin 1 compared to the...
The buffalo nickel is one of the most widely popular US coin designs ever made. Many, many silver bullion rounds have been made with a design...

Depending on where I taught, spelling might be important. I'm teaching at more of a trade school. Do I care if my students can spell Rankine,...
I mean that offer is a little bit low, but I wouldn't say it is egregiously low. Nice toning. Good plus for the reverse toning (kinda minus that...
