Remember that for many years the planchets our cents and half cents were struck on were made in England. Like John said, its not totally new.
I thought we already DID. :D
Peter, if you want to come up with a contest, I will donate some coins or books if you want some prizes. Another idea might be a "12 for 12"...
Maybe its a disappointment today, but I know a couple of people who make their living going around to the states and buying up some great coins at...
Nice one. I am actually a little into these coins, since this is the period in which I find what I call "art deco" obverse styles. Just on some of...
"Title" in the legal sense means proof of ownership. It does not mean the same as people think of, like a car title piece of paper. Title for...

Looks more like someone who bought discounted postage from a stamp dealer. That stuff from the 60's and 70's can be bought for like 80 cents on...
I have some. Packages from Uzbekistan, Cyprus, etc are interesting.
What the heck are you searching for? Heck, I have searches that when I get back 120 results I groan because all of the time it will take me to go...
It has a lot more value because its in the exumania its in. A cent like that by itself is worth a few cents. The piece like that is interesting to...
Yeah, but the mint was noted for selling off pattern coins to collectors in the 19th century. How many 20th century pattern coins do you see in...
