Not all coins are undervalued by guides. Coins before 1964 tend to be overvalued by most sources and coins after tend to be grossly undervalued....
Wow! This is one old resuscitation. Try looking under "Virginia" here; http://www.tokencatalog.com/ A lot has changed in 13 years.
It appears to have been severely damaged and then repaired (with a hammer). This is not unusual since most banks are loathe to ship any coins to...
Hey, our Congress does nothing anyway so what does it matter if they do nothing with the penny or nothing with everything else? ;) The only...
NO!!! Every time a penny is used it costs more than one cent to handle and count it. Every time a penny is used the buyer, seller, and taxpayers...
How about just after midnight on Jan 1, 2018? Zinc is soaring and the mint is spending more than three cents each to mint this shiny landfill....
The copper visible around the edge of the coin where the rim once was almost assures the coin was just ground flat. The edge is thicker when it...

A great number of dealers just don't want to "mess" with moderns. Many of them will still put BU rolls of things like 1983 quarters in the till...
Junk boxes are great!! I've actually seen dealers cutting up rare mint sets like the '71 Soviet set to put in the junk box. It's isn't at all...
I used to work with a Swiss dealer who had all sorts of never seen stuff. Most of the modern Swiss isn't really rare but it is hard to put your...
I used to go through a lot of poundage and odd ball stuff would just leap out at me. Then I looked at a great deal of dealer stock in my travels...
About one in ten '83-D's has a good strike and about one in a hundred is what I call a "full strike". The '82-P is the toughest to find well...
They aren't really errors, per se, just poor quality. A lot of the clads made for circulation are horrendous quality, especially in those days....
It's poor strikes from worn dies but there are a few good strikes out there.
it needs a dip in acetone then I think 66 FB. It looks like an SMS coin.
