But it's not completion if random coins are just left out. That's why I don't get it. I understand not having Type I, II, III, etc.... but many...
Hop a little west: French West Africa. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have 3 of them, and one of them is proudly displayed on my desk at work (I really should bring them home and photograph them). The first is...
Are your cents circulated? If so, they will have absolutely no problem. Some people claim that acetone affects copper, but I'm not convinced. I...
Wow, that is an awful lot of money for a really awful coin. Why is this one so rare?
You have some nice coins in that set. But, I have to admit, I'm really confused by that category. Why no $1 or $3? Calling it a gold type set...
This one had the lowest participation so far, with only 27 guesses. However - the group nailed it! This is a 65 CAC, and the average guess was...
Sorry to hear about your friend. He found this in circulation? Man, I wish I could be so lucky. Although, that has the look of something which...

Berit, I like your enthusiasm. If you have any questions as you go, please feel free to ask. And I really do hope that you keep reading these...

Well, I certainly wouldn't call it "super" toned. It definitely appears original. I'd call it a coin with mostly average eye appeal and a splash...
I guess a good question is: what is your experience and comfort in buying rare coins? I see that you say you have "dabbled" for a few years. Are...
Sure, it's available on Amazon. Just beware, that stuff seems quite a bit nastier than acetone. And I have absolutely no idea how it interacts...
That would be a really cool set. Thinking outside of the standard "coin set", I could see a poster-sized (or larger) display (or more than one)...
That's only half of the PL Jeffersons I've got ;)
PL Jefferson's are far more common than you think. I own several of them. The coolest are the War nickels, but those can be pricey. Most dates are...
That's cool. I figured it was possible, I just hadn't heard of it before. No, it can't. The obverse and reverse dies are made at different times...
I think what they are trying to say is, during the die making process there was some debris on the hub, and thus the die has a "strikethrough" on...
Separate names with a comma.
