I don't see how you can reach this conclusion, unless you completely don't understand how rounding works. But, sure, I guess Big Government could...
This. THIS poster gets it. Except... the purchasing power of a nickel is trivial now, too. I argue for killing everything smaller than a quarter....
Heck, offer me a proof set with well-made IHC, Buffalo, Merc, SLQ, and Walker, and you can put any date you like on it.
Okay, this one's more alarming. First, it's the first one I've seen in a while where the typography looks right to me. Second, the barcode is...
I'm sorry that reading is so hard for you. I guess that's why you've never, not once, responded to questions about the silver @Garlicus paid you for.
And I believe you're generally more discerning than this...
Because they figure there's a chance that, sooner or later, they'll be able to crack it out and get it into an AU55 slab. :rolleyes:
Not so much, as it turns out. The 1965 book (sent to print while silver was still circulating) lists values for Roosies only in Unc and Proof....
Ah, you came in right around the time I finally left. I was there from 80 to 93, moved to PA for a few years after that but got my last VT degree...
Welcome aboard! When were you at VT?
o_O [IMG] I tend not to keep 40% halves long, but I probably have a few tubes tucked away. I'll try to remember to get some out and photograph...
When I was a little kid just starting to collect, I think the 1949-S, the 1952-S or 1953-S (don't remember which), and all three 1955 coins were...
But that core still looks more like silver than copper, at least on most of the 40% half edges I've examined. Looking at @paddyman98's top two...
<wakes up screaming> AAAAUGH! I dreamed it was still 2020! <wife> It is still 2020. <wakes up screaming> AAAAUGH! I dreamed it was still 2020!...
I think it's stupid that we're still producing and circulating one-cent coins today. But even given my lack of faith in Congress and the Mint, I'm...
Oh, they're fantastic tools. But they read from a relatively thick layer of the surface (even on gold), over a pretty wide area of the surface....
There are things you can't do with a Camaro. Okay, there are things you shouldn't do with a Camaro.
If it actually pulls up on the scale with 25g of force, I think you need to skip CoinTalk and go directly to your local physicist. Did you find...
If it's just a very small surface inclusion, or a surface layer a few atoms thick, I think you'll have a hard time getting useful info out of one...
And hope that nobody turns up an MS68 example, making that MS67+ no longer top pop, right?
Separate names with a comma.
