If I told you I would have to kill you. :high5:
Barber Dimes, Mercury Dimes and silver Roosevelt Dimes all have identical weights (2.5 g) and diameters (17.9 mm). In fact, they are identical to...
Oh, no. Hand-punched mintmarks ended only recently. 18 years or so qualifies as "recent" in my book.
I wouldn't necessarily say the MM is misplaced. There was an area on each coin within which it was acceptable for a mintmark to be placed. As long...

Welcome to CoinTalk. If you want your coins graded by PCGS your best bet is to take them to a dealer who is a PCGS member. Your next best bet...

Which one do you like?
If the doubling is shelf-like it is most likely machine doubling which occurs just after the die strikes the coin and chatters (which shears off a...
So who has a feedback score of -1? The seller? Does he have only one transaction, that being the negative feedback you cite?
Don't you wish you had bought 100 at that price?
Search the threads here and you will find a lot of discussion on natural toning (NT) vs artificial toning (AT). The coin you posted is an...
Nice coin. That's one I need to get one of these days.
