Numbers struck. This is probably the only issue where the numbers struck actually reflect the numbers in existance. Who melts nickels (with the...
Been there but not for a long time. A long-time (46 years) stamp and coin dealer that is well respected in their niche. They are not high-end...
Question is, "Is it worth it?" Current value of the metals in a pre-1982 cent is about 1.9 cents. But how much would the energy cost to melt...
eBay could stop a lot of this nonsense by having higher insertion fees for listings like this. My little chart (which may be outdated) indicates...

I don't snipe. My style is to calculate my max bid, then place it with a day or two remaining on the auction. If my bid doesn't reach the Reserve...
What is considered "early date copper"?
That $1.00 issue price quoted was just for this commem. But as it turns out it was the issue price for most 50¢ commems. And often they didn't...
