Unbelievable!!! You mean they are able to print cards that tell you that they can't print cards (COA)?? And 6-8 weeks, to get something...
The condition isn't even close to being something that's valuable, but still a nice find. BTW: Nice pics
Nice one Kurt. I figured that if you posted enough jokes to CT, statistically, one has to be funny sooner or later. :dead:
Here is a simple explanation that I have picked up over the years from talking, reading, studying, and observing numismatics. I’m surprised it is...
You piqued my interest so I looked it up in Krause. They note that the 1904 is known as the "Panama Pill or Panama Pearl" and is one smallest...
@Gator . First I don't see anything unusual, with the reverse, There might be a scratch in the area but no error. Second. Keep working at...
With the exception of the Large P used on 1942-1945 war nickels, there were no P mintmarks used until the SBA dollar in 1979, 7 years after your...
It's very difficult to see anything, the ebay pic isn't sharp enough. I don't think it's a F/D though. It could just be damage or possibly a...
