Or, if anyone did, they're following the first rule of lottery-winning: don't tell anyone!
I like this - it's a nice twist on the usual conversions between value and weight based on coin type. Based on my recent experience, I'd put the...
It's got an L on it, plain as day, one-third in from the left and bottom of that last image! Clearly the letter fell off an 1864 cent, lurked in...
...a chance to pick a fight, apparently. And then cry about being a victim when someone blocks your punch. Sorry.
I'll put up with a lot to get gold under melt.
That must have made for an awkward fit in the roll! Did the roll still contain 40 nickels? (Also, I have my doubts that that's a diamond-diamond...?)
Nope, in a stapled-shut plastic flip. Which is better than the last one I did buy there, where the guy scooted it across the counter a couple of...
Aww, man, I've got to get better at posting something here before the shows happen. :(
This weekend's the last local show of the year. Some random notes: Same weekend as the car show and the GUN show. Parking is nuts. There's a...
Yeah, I left off the 1933 gold on the grounds that there were a bunch struck, and no telling which of those made it out the door. Same with the...
Google News just presented me with this: Network that trafficked stolen antiquities across Europe dismantled with 35 arrests I see that the...
Except maybe those last five Liberty nickels... :troll:
Yep, broadstrikes are usually struck from normal planchets, with normal weight. They can be thinner as a result of being squished out more around...
Oh, no. :(
Thinking that you're unlikely to find one in a roll, because broadstrikes are, well, broader than normal strikes, and wouldn't fit!
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Every statute I've seen regarding...
I don't. I found a Mercury dime in a CoinStar a month or two ago, and I think it continues my normal pace of finding it once or twice a year. Ten...
Lots more people checking CoinStars? Or maybe they've re-tuned the machines so silver doesn't get rejected as reliably?
We've had several car insurance claims and at least one home insurance claim for a burglary. Not a moment's trouble with any of them...?
A simple counterstamp will be incuse. The privy marks are in relief, I believe (struck into the die).
Separate names with a comma.
