That label... it's like they're not even trying. :(
As an "explanation" the stuff from the RCM leaves a lot to be desired. "We zoom in on microscopic die characteristics, which we won't specifically...
I'm pretty sure that's not pull-away toning. Pull-away toning looks more like the device "casting a shadow" away from the center of the coin. The...
Sounds like synthetic luster to me, which makes me wonder how they'd produce dies that maintain the effect across a reasonable number of strikes....
Lady Liberty will be issued a firearm to carry.
I definitely remember the gold color (paint, not gold-plating, at that time) from their first appearance -- there were only a couple of models...
Okay, I missed this thread the first time around, and it made me do a double-take this time. Like many, many thousands of others, I went to one of...
Inkjet printing is fast and easy. Laser etching, not so much. Think about it -- instead of just spraying widgets coming by on a conveyor belt, the...
If "They" have the technology to get radio signals in and out of a solid silver shell, "They" don't need to track us with chips, because "They"...
Shameful confession: not all my random circulated wheats are in secure facilities. :rolleyes: Now keep your eye on my local news for "burglar...
Yep, I remember those ads. I got one lot from eBay that included quite a few Wheat cents. I went through them quickly, and realized that there...

Mind if I take a good long time staring at it trying to decide? :woot:
At the time the Mint stopped making half cents, their purchasing power was equal to about 14 cents today. The purchasing power of a cent (small or...
The ever-in-demand "glossy silver" toning? o_O
If (as the Canadian mint says) it's encoded onto the die, it seems like there would be lots of coins with the same code. Or do they do some sort...
I'm guessing it's the obverse, not the reverse, that gets the "most beautiful" appellation. I know that I find it hard to get enthused about...
I don't know anything about authenticating these errors, but at least it's not backward. (I knew it looked familiar for some reason...) [IMG]
Well, this is interesting: I found an Apollo gold listed under "Collectibles", but it also didn't show tax on the checkout page. So they aren't...
Just did a quick check for a Barber dime, and it looks like eBay is (properly) not adding sales tax. They do add sales tax for a non-coin item I...
