The seller knows exactly what the coins are. If they were worth more than what you can see, he'd say what they were, so he could get higher bids....
That was very, very common in my long-term vinegar nickels. I guess there are always imperceptible striations from the way the stock is rolled,...
So you're saying the centering isn't the only thing that's off? ;)
To be fair, that's been happening since we started lazily writing things down and then reading them, instead of MEMORIZING them like the ancestors...
Gorgeous CircCam! Congrats!
It's a shame spreadsheet programs don't understand how to sort by letter grade.
A business strike 1878-P? There's another counterfeiter who wasn't paying attention.

By which I assume you mean "above face value or melt value". I bought a lot of metal-detected and wire-brushed Mercs a few years back. Most were...
Live a little, and open it in a private window. They can stuff all the cookies they want into your browser, and they'll be dumped as soon as you...

It's hard to say. It's hard to know how many potential buyers will turn away if they look at your asking price and say "nah, he'd never come down...
They sure can. But with an auction, you're running the risk that that one person who would be the perfect buyer doesn't come across the auction...
From time to time I could swear I see these going for less of a premium than circulated 90% dimes/quarters. I assume that you get less for them...
