People dump Morgans and ASEs at banks, too. I don't really consider that "circulation", because they don't go back out to ordinary customers in...
From a description here: I'm a little skeptical about this claim...?
No, toning isn't specific to sulfur. It's a result of very thin layers of any compound that's more transparent than silver, but less transparent...
It refers to a substance that facilitates meandering and pointless discussions.
Inertia, and the collector market. We're discussing circulating denominations. Dollar coins haven't been issued for circulation since 2011;...
I'm still betting the dollar will outlast cash, but we'll see. (Maybe. I figure I've got at least another three decades if I'm not stupid or...
Bought five 1oz silver rounds a week or two ago when silver was 17-something, private-issue "9/11 commemoratives", in a fine wooden display box....

I've never seen the sense of a 1:2 value ratio in coins. It's easier to deal with three quarters than a quarter and a half. It would be easier to...
Were 1974 coins still struck in 1975? I know 1964 coins were struck late, but hadn't heard about others. Also, were there ever any official 40%...
Well, sorta. Before 1866, they were silver half-dimes. ;) BTW, welcome to CoinTalk!
In 1976. So this would have to be another "mischievous time-traveler" error.
Coins, except where I can get non-coin PMs well below actual value. (I define "actual value" as "what I can confidently sell them for, minus...
Sorry, Poe's Law. :rolleyes: Stay tuned, the actual "rounding always goes against us"/"it'll cause inflation" posters will be by shortly...
