The mark on the torch is most likely damage. Someone took pliers or a vise and squeezed something onto the coin to make that impression.
Yes that is a small date. The zincs weigh 2.5 grams and the copper weighs 3.1 grams. The copper is the rare one. You can see the zinc coming...
Actually this is confusing. No U.S. coins had mint marks from 1965-1967. And they were still being produced at all 3 mints, so it could have come...
Well, here is something else, I assume these things round off. What if one coin was 88.49% and 11.51% and the other was 88.51% and 11.49%, then...
I didn't mean to double post. I must have thought there were 2 threads. Sorry. The dollar coins have been a little slower this year. Although I am...
Is there that much difference between 88% copper 12% zinc and 89% copper 11% zinc? It's just the alloy mix.
The 1939-S might not be a key date, but it is a semi key date IMO. Also the 1939 with the 1938 reverse is a good coin.
Good reading and insights in this thread. Thanks
The first P mintmark was on the 1979 Susan B Anthony. 1980 for the nickel, dime, quarter, and half.
You can't buy or lease a Coin Star, so I am not sure what you have in mind.
No.
I think there are opportunities at the very top of the food chain. So if you were to buy a highly desirable million dollar coin, very often you...
See if the signatures are in ink, or have been photo copied. These are often replicas, even very old ones.
My instinct says it was a replica specifically designed to be jewelry. Perhaps better clear close up photos of both sides and the colonial...
As for the OP photos I can't really tell. I thought it was the small. Are both photos the same coin? But Steve says it is large. The photo...
^^^^^ This. As for the small and large date question, the 1960 small date, the numbers will be tighter/closed and the actual date will be...
Yeah it's not worth that. Unless you are talking about the Cheerios Sac dollar. People can ask any price that doesn't mean it is worth that, or...

It's never a small date copper. 0-200
I like the overlap coins. 1909/S Indian head and Lincoln, 1938/D Buffalo and Jefferson, etc. I think my guys are only VF but I always liked them.
