I'll pencil that into my book. Thank you all again.
I've been using Collecting World Coins, Tenth Edition, by Krause and Mishler. The mintage listed is 20,000, and it doesn't say anything about...
;) Every time I see my avatar here I think, "Oh, sheesh, I need to change that." I've never noticed any Lennon similarities.
This is a small one-cent piece from Ethiopia, dated 1936 EE (Ethiopian Era). That would translate as 1944 A.D., although this date was “frozen”...
1919 cent, about four years ago, in pocket change. Seems like everybody's doing it.
I am relieved and gratified to get the rest of the story. The next time an ice cream vendor whistles at my wife, I'll recall this story, and try...
If you aren't going into details, maybe you shouldn't tease us with such interesting hints!:p "Ah, yes, that reminds me of that time I was in a...
I don't know, either, but that second coin has its "heads" in 3/4 profile--that's a pretty uncommon feature on a coin, though common in other...
I'm with the folks who don't think the teller was much out of bounds. I personally would't do it, since it seems sort of tactless. But the money...

$51.00 on a silver Marcus Aurelius denarius, two years ago.
Again, thanks very much for your responses. I haven’t found a coin like this before. The most error-ish things I’ve ever spotted have been very...
Hmm. I appreciate everyone's responses. I guess there aren't any definitive ways to tell on this one, or at least, not by looking at a picture of...
I just found this a couple of days ago, and I'm not sure about it. Does this look to you like it was struck through grease? There is a little...
I quite like Montana's. From some reason, I like Nevada's a lot, too, although I usually don't like such "busy" designs. Any quarter that...
Last week I asked a teller for all her halves, and she went back to check. All she had were two rolls—but when she handed them to me, I saw that...
70 F (Wind from the WNW at 19 mph, partly cloudy. 30% chance of rain. In the morning, before the wind picks up, the fishing will be excellent.)
