Personally, I am not a fan of the lettering fonts. Seems terribly crude for SS. My uneducated opinion would be a re-engraved reverse. I will state...
Good post. In addition to this, you always have to remember the times in which the coins were struck. Right after Nero you had the Civil Wars....
Barber was simply a much better coin designer. Don't get me wrong, I view the buffalo nickel to be one of the top 2 or 3 US coin designs in...
Great posts and information overall sir. What is puzzling to me is the E class. I have never had a problem buying pretty nice ones. Sure, it...
You just made my point. If there are 100 billion pennies, (make it one trillion), this idea adds literally hundredths of a percent to outstanding...
What you are missing sir is scale. All cents that exist to be used might total 1/100th of one percent of dollars in existence, (I think I am very...
Of course sir. All personaly preferences, and those are simply mine is all. Same can also be said of tons of coins, patterns, etc.
No offense meant sir. My point would be I find errors the mint struck on ACCIDENT to be moderately interesting, and own a few. Intentional errors...
I agree of course. I was just trying to think small and extremely doable to minimize the current damage. A rational government would have done it...

No, I am only changing the existing smallest denomination in value. Everything else stays the same. Some people may be sitting on 100,000 cents...
I agree. THEN, put the group away and 10 years ago have just as much fun when you go through it again! :)
Like I have posted before. Pretty simple fix, and nearly everyone will be happy, therefore Congress will never pass it. Mandate on one day all...
I agree. I have purchased a Cleopatra VII bronze that came in a Littleton envelope. Many times there are some very good coins to be found there....
Living currently in MN, those are fighting words! :)
People pick on them, but they have to understand. Littleton has TONS of expenses in advertising. Sure, some may come here and get mad they paid...
I would have bought that too. Very cool and rare. First, they had a very rough planchet with massive marks left on the flan, then they very poorly...
What do you all use for certified bank notes? I have recently began collecting Franklin colonial currency pieces.
You just touched on one of the trickiest areas for those who are coin collectors and yet also wish to invest in bullion. This is where most fail...
I agree with others. A shattered die will look differently.
