I wish I did. My number was from a few years ago when I got divorced. To be fair I am an accountant, so going home and counting stuff would be...
I don't think its a coin. I will wager that its a token for a board game or something similar. I have seen these before, but for the life of me...
Yes, but considering the fact that its ever so slightly offcentered, (common for these and early US coins), that explains this fact. You are right...
Btw, welcome Wheresgeorge. I see you are new, and created a profile here probably to respond to a certain issue, but hopefully you may participate...
I think most would say platinum is the third precious metal. After that, it gets sketchier, maybe palladium is fourth. Platinum is fairly...
Perfect question, as this is the first thing to check. The mint or their suppliers weren't the greatest at getting these things, (the clad), just...
No sir its not illegal. Most people just put stickers on, its easier and more informative. Yes, if you can find the provenance it would increase...
The best news about the series is that someone here will win a shiny silver quarter!!!!
I seriously hope they change their mind before tomorrow and limit it to 1 per household or I will have a serious dilemma when I select "quantity"...

Lol I get those looks too. Either from laughing at something we think is funny, or explaining something very interesting to me. Non-collectors...
Really? I would not say they had the most interesting history myself. If you incorporate all of the history regarding the silver market during...
It does not hurt, it DESTROYS it. There are some collectors of countermarks, but not many and SM is pretty generic. However, the underlying coin...
Just an aside, the indians who sold Manhattan never lived there, so all of the beads and trinkets they got were for free! Free is always good no...
But was the weight correct? Yes, they were faked extensively, (from my readings, I believe it is Kahn), but those fakes back then weren't to fool...
My only point on that would be why, (when they were worth more), were higher denomination bills ok before electronic transactions could be...
Btw sir grat to have you back on the board again! Feel free to correct me anytime. Sometimes you learn best when someone calls you out on an...
I do not question your being cautious. These have been faked for far longer than either of us have been around. I am cautious when I buy these as...
