It's hard for me to put myself in the shoes of someone funding and running a forum, but it seems like once a member made a creditable threat to...
Nope, sorry. As @C-B-D said, digits are wrong; also, that blank spot down the middle of the shield wouldn't appear on a real coin. It's possible...
I'm going to save that one and put it on my wall, with any distracting context carefully trimmed away. :rolleyes:
Now, there's a thought-provoking question. ...that we're not allowed to discuss here. I'd guess it's from a die that's wearing down, but I'll...
But what about when you go to sell that steak to someone else a few years down the road? Oh, wait. Never mind.

And remember that, in the future "dream scenario" where you're trying to buy food or buy your way into another country with bullion, your...
And JPEG artifacts are confused for anything.
It's not a signature, it's (shudder) Black Speech! [ATTACH] You need to find a volcano, and quickly...

Here's one with great photos, apparently just in from NASA's New Horizons probe: RARE 1921 “P” Standing Liberty Quarter 25c "4 DIGIT DATE" [ATTACH]
Hey, we're only making the ones you have more scarce, right?
The good news? If someone did dump a bunch of IHCs and V-nickels into that machine, with only the large cent rejected... ...they're all headed...
