I've got a full set of business strikes. They're in an NGC Registry Set. If I can figure out how to post the link (or if someone can tell me) I'll...
Original issue price: $1.00
I had a set. Sold it on eBay in 2004. I liked them. Pewter if I recall. Very pleasing looking. My set sold for $14.66, and with all things...
It doesn't even look real.
If they're junk coins why use flips. Unless I'm mistaked 2x2's are less expensive.
I use Eagle Certified Coin Albums. There aren't many albums like them but I think Littleton makes some too.
If it doesn't specify, it probably isn't.
My experiences indicate that the eBay search engine ignores everything that isn't either letters or numbers. All special characters are treated as...
Good point. I'll have to keep this in mind. BTW, the same doesn't apply to isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, at least not the 70-75% stuff you get at...

It's not the "normal" expected toning but it still is the result of the environment and the coining metal chemically reacting.
You are of course correct. BUT Let someone say Double Die instead of Doubled Die and they are quickly corrected. I don't see people coming back...

Acetone is used to remove foreign materials from coins such as grease, oil, glue, dirt, etc. What you have on your coin is the result of natural...
First, to the best of my knowledge your "penny" collection is complete. Why? Because the US doesn't strike pennies. Therefore there are none to...
True, but you're liable to find that you'll get antsy after a while. I don't know if you can set the delay on a timer but in my experience it's...
If you're going to test out possibilities, cheap is the way to go. I rather have a $10 experiment fail than a $100 one. Vibration control is...
I'm using shelf glass, not plate glass. You know, the type of glass that display cases are made from. It's thicker and stronger, not that those...
Agreed. Probably something corrosive worked it over. Something with more affinity for copper than the CuNi cladding. If nothing else was said...
This was my first thought until I looked at the edge-view image. Now I'm more inclined to think it was struck with less than full pressure, but...
Separate names with a comma.
