Well, proof sets are made by the Mint, right? :rolleyes: Calling proof sets "mint sets", and vice versa, isn't too uncommon on the Bay. Sometimes...
Oh, yes there is. The teller can then go on to tell you how she cleaned up all those silver dollars with a toothbrush and toothpaste to make them...
I'm seeing more and more BIN listings from a particular seller that appear to be atrociously AT. In fact, instead of calling out most of their...
And that they really ought to let me take them home to use the good lighting equipment...
I can take good pictures, but not through multiple layers of glass and plastic. I'd need some help convincing the museum personnel to give me...
Well-spotted! Guess that takes some of the pressure off for me to go back with the big camera. :) I'll bet all the exhibits are available as...
Nice pieces. As a resident, I aspire to add at least one Charlotte coin to my collection someday -- but probably not soon, and certainly not of...
As it turned out, this display was maybe a hundred feet from the main entrance, but pretty secluded. The library's site does emphasize that they...
I drover over to Chapel Hill this morning to attend a talk at the Wilson Library, but when I got there, I found that the talk had been canceled. I...
Hey, did yours catch fire? Mine caught fire. After having it serviced for the recall that was supposed to ensure it wouldn't catch fire. But we...
I got my first O-mint coin from a machine like that! My family made a trip to the beach (probably Rehoboth) when I was in elementary school. One...

I got email from the Mint inviting me to take a survey, and I welcome the chance to give them feedback. Unfortunately, I'm apparently the wrong...
Impressive set. Here's a link to the auction.
If it approaches 300 grams, somebody slipped in some gold. A full roll of uncirculated 90% halves, as minted, should weigh 250 grams (12.5 * 20)....
Basically, they go for more because that's what people are willing to pay. I can guess at a couple of reasons, though. First, half dollars tend...
Not sure when that showed up in their policy, but I certainly see plenty of auctions that don't follow that rule. Sorry that you were one of the...
Well, first, if it's 22 rolls at $10 face value each, that's 440 halves. (20-coin rolls are standard for half dollars, although I occasionally...
Wow. I've just taken a tour through the selling histories of some of the folks this guy's been buying from. I knew that eBay had about given up...
Okay, so maybe it was unconscious wisdom, not cowardice. :) I was a bit nervous about the seller's limited selling history; they've sold some...
