As you can see on this missing clad quarter, when the copper is struck the details are crisp and the copper remains bright. If the clad layer is...
As for post #26, there are only about (400?) 1990-S cents with no S. They all came in a proof set. Unless someone broke open the proof set and...
You can always test a 1968 Canadian dime with a magnet. If it sticks it's not 50% silver. (I guess the same is true of quarters, I haven't had a...
Always hold the coin by the edges, to minimize any fingerprints or oils that can transfer from your hands to the face of the coin (either side)....
The details on the reverse of the dime should be crisper and not mushy. And the copper should be brighter. (Can't tell from the photo.) But if it...
Yes winning bid $932. Good judgment on the under $1000 bids.
The die is the form that makes the coins. [ATTACH]
Well the melt value is $6.41 currently. Maybe $7-$8 is a fair price. The problem with the Franklin's there are tons of them in high grades. So it...
I'm in the 5th grade and I get sent down to the office. There's nothing to do so I am just sitting in a chair there eating pistachio nuts. There's...
MS 68 might be $800 (over priced IMO) but the full steps designation is redundant, as all of the modern nickels have FS and how could a modern MS...
Price hasn't moved in 15 hours still $811. I am wondering, if the OP comes in, promoting their own coin, to either get some buyers, or to get a...
Well it's already around $900 and there's like 22 hours left. And it is graded MS 64. The toning is a negative to me. But the other factors still...
First photo suggests improper cleaning. The other photos are better, but it's probably been cleaned at some point in the last 100 years. If it's...
Are you the seller? 91 CC mint state is a good coin. The toning doesn't mean anything to me. $2509.
Oh I wasn't trusting what it says on the bottle.
It is not on a wrong planchet. Only a penny or a smaller planchet can fit in the penny minting hub etc. Almost all foreign coins are different...
Birds It's going to be too cold tomorrow, so I switched to Saturday. I get up and it's snowing. But I headed out anyway and there wasn't any snow...
Yes those are awesome.
At the time I wrote that post, I was unaware in a change of the zinc cent tolerance which is +/- .10 g. 2.40-2.60 range.
