I'm not familiar with this issue, but it certainly looks like the cheap cast imitations that I've seen for other early coinage. See the pock-marks...
I'm sorry for your loss. Before you even think about sending coins off to be certified, you must have someone knowledgeable look at them....
We'll need clearer photos to tell, and you'll probably need to take the coin out of its holder. It could be a "struck through grease" error. It's...
Now, that's the first time I've heard this. It's hard to imagine CoinStar paying people to roll coins in the store, or track them and send them...
Pretty sure when I was last in Alabama (within the past year) it was 10%. ON GROCERIES.
Bull get fat, bears get fat, but pigs get slaughtered. And the Hunt brothers were pigs.
Somebody will make a joking offer of $80, and be amazed and delighted when it's accepted. Then they'll get a bad surprise when they take it to...
I would have (naively) assumed that all certificates redeemed for silver would go back for destruction. I can't imagine why they'd be punched...
My pharma-industry employer made everyone go through training on counterfeit drugs in the marketplace. One of the exercises: you get a deck of...
Another round of 1964-D Peace overstrikes? I'm not sure what to think. I missed the first round, but I somehow assumed that there never would be...

Just remember, "when in CoinTalk..." ;)
Username checks out...
Yes, anyone rude enough to object to Roman ways surely got what they deserved. :rolleyes:
Cheech, Cheech. We've managed to keep this thread on the rails despite the nearly-irresistible pull toward politics. You're NOT helping here.
Hey, it looks like a reusable slab (i.e. it's easy to pop it open, swap coins, and re-"seal" it). You could put in a custom label! It's a...
Heh. I'm assuming that means (say) collecting $75 on every $1000, wiring off $74.25 to NC, and keeping 75 cents -- not collecting $75, wiring off...
I'm also concerned that Googlers landing on this thread and seeing a recommendation for "professional cleaning" will take their grandparent's...
But it was always thus. I'm not old enough to remember Elvis being shown only from the waist up during a television performance, but I certainly...
If he does, I wish it could have a reverse featuring people building a house.
