Anything in the albums?
Under the Constitution, all federal facilities are exempt from all state regulation, and that includes taxes. Article I, section 8, "Congress...
Too sad to think about. A dealer should refund money for these broken coins, but nothing can fully restore the broken centuries of history.
Welcome to CT! Clawcoins has given you great information! The lettering is "off" only because of wear from circulation. The letters were...
I, too, noticed the durability of the Canadian steel and 100% nickel coins, although their silver coins wore about on par with ours. I have no...
Too bad you can't go back and accurately weigh it when it was new. I would love to see how much gold has been lost over the years. After maybe...

I am not challenging anybody, but just trying to learn. This 1939-D is graded MS-66FS. I thought FS meant all the steps went all the way across...
That's an impressive die break, especially the shift over the date. Nice!
I think probably the idea was to convey the perspective of looking way up to Washington on his horse, with the lower parts closer to the viewer...
I'd keep it. It will never be worth a fortune, or probably much exceed inflation over the years, but it's nice.
On the road too long. I pick up lots of these along the roadside when I ride my bicycle. Nickels, dimes, quarters, too. Once in a while a...
It looks to me like an adhesive of some sort. The remnants of the shield showing on Lincoln are most likely because two cents were glued together...
Have you tried distilled water on the glue? I'd try that before I tried acetone. It might be sufficient and you'd be no worse off if it didn't work.
