As others have said, not particularly unique or valuable. Even knowing that, I would put it in a 2x2 and keep it if I got it in change. Nice find
Don't be too hard. My autocorrect loves change it to planchette especially if I haven't written planchet in a post for awhile. At least he didn't...
Looks like @CoinBlazer is doing OK. @CoinCorgi seems to like him as much as he does the rest of us ;)
Wear and tear on your coins = normal circulation with some corrosion and adhered crud. Sorry, but there is nothing unusual about either of them
A true ladder is 8 numbers in sequential order. 01234567, 12345678, 23456789, or 34567890 or the reverse. These "eBay ladders" just go to show...
some of us are more trusting and some of us are more paranoid when posting personal hobby info on here (I tend to fall towards the latter). I...
I have never dealt with this company, so I don't think my opinion is valid, but the CT members that have posted about this company have...
You may want to visit a coin show if there is one in your area. Most are listed on the Numismaster site. Depending on the size, you should have...
Actually only for a few months since they have minted 5/6 a year since 1999. However, dies have a finite life. I recall reading that the life...
Nothing wrong with being security conscientious in this hobby. Maybe you could figure out all of the small shows in the next few weeks and narrow...

Unfortunately, there has been a trend in the archeology community that ALL artifacts should be kept in the hands of trained professionals to...
Something to keep in mind next time I try to sort through marginal pictures in order to try to help someone with a question. (BTW: I hope that...
If he wants to keep it in the family, then slabbing would be a great way to safely preserve the coin, even at the added cost, IMO. He may want to...
I think it's a 1907 :hungover::wacky:o_O (Just kidding) The story of the "rare" 1903-O is pretty interesting. You should be able to find...
It didn't leave the mint that way. More than likely, it was soaked in something acidic or possibly grit blasted. Either way, it's PMD and only...
As others have said, there should be no question about the authenticity. You can sell it as is for bullion value, or spend $30-50 to put it in a...
For the same reasons why scientists spend months slogging through the the Amazon jungles looking for minor differences in beetles or nematodes....
