There's really nothing there. That one nickel was probably intentionally struck through a leather belt and enlarged.
Damaged coins are very common. True errors are rare. They are out there, but it's a needle in a haystack.
At my Albertsons tipping is not allowed. And there is no one covering the carts. People just walk out with them, and the lazy SOB's don't even...
Maybe it's not a weak strike maybe it is because of the die. Perhaps you have seen some very early stage dies. Because every site agrees that a...
I always spend coins. The coin acceptor at the supermarket is the greatest invention since the light bulb. What am I supposed to do? Put it in the...
With digital plastic, banks would be laying off 95% of their workers. All deposits would be electronic. There's no need for withdrawals or ATMs as...
