Hey Kids! Clean your pennies with ketchup... And then go ahead and spend them because you have stripped all the collector value off of them.
As someone who was active on the forums back then, when the cut off was announced the coins still were not available and the first supplies of...
The stuff on the obverse may just be adhesive. (the coin was glued to something). If so a soak in acetone would probably remove it. But I would...
It dates back further than that. I first saw these "double eagles" back when I was still in high school which puts it back over 40 years ago.
If there are multiple coins in the submission it could be in encapsulation with other coins that are being slabbed while it itself is not being...
Early episode of Gunsmoke were black and white, then in season 12 (1967) they started being in color.

I've seen a lot of these "double eagle" medals over the years and I have never seen one that was actually silver.
looks like 28 N-11 an R-2 coin so not a rare variety. Detail is OK but it looks to me like the surfaces are rough and porous. Good seems to list...
Sorry I thought they had 65's as well.
That's what I thought at first too, but there is nothing in the description that would indicate it is a subscription deal. On the other hand...
Yes a lot of people get killed in Gunsmoke. It's probably rare to have an episode without at least one person getting shot and killed.
The 0 rupee notes were a protest note to highlight corruption and bribes being demanded by government officials. And it turns out they are older...
