At that price, it works out to about 3.6 cents per penny. This is a fair to strong retail price for common date circulated wheaties. You have to...
My most recent purchase is a straight clip. This happens when the planchet is punched from the edge of a strip - and is discussed in much more...
I don't understand your question/comment?
I actually got a Zachary Taylor in change the other day. But then I spent it. Sorry, I just can't get excited about these.
As that is a significantly different topic, maybe you could start a new thread on the subject.
Snaz, what is this keywords feature and how do I use it? I hate putting all this work into threads and then having them fall into the abyss of...
Thanks for the compliments, guys. This one is graded EF-45, and I paid $130 for it. I am perfectly content with the price, and cannot wait to see...
I bought 4 or 5 of these (from a different seller) a couple of weeks ago. They make great Christmas presents.

Its interesting to note that 3 of their 12 biggest mistakes involved copper turning in the holder. That's 25%. That's a lot. If they can eliminate...
I'm definitely in favor of the cat. And I'll echo the praise for the SLQ.
The subtleties of grading CBH's cannot be learned from the Whitman (or really any other) book of grading standards. Each die marriage is unique,...
That is an attractive RE Half, with a nice, even, dark grey appearance. So many of these are spotted, unattractive, blotchy, ugly colored, or...
This is where some of the Overton's can get tricky - it seems to have the filled stripes of the 108 because it does have the filled stripes of the...
