I also pulled one or more bicentennial halves from change, likely 1976 or 1977. Another possibly entertaining anecdote is the stack of Kennedy...
Anecdotally I'd say they circulated fairly regularly at least until the late 70s. I pulled at least 4 1964 Kennedy's out of the till in the 74-76...
Maybe it's just me, but the notion of squeezing a numismatically valuable coin in that thing and then banging on it makes my skin crawl. Many of...
If it's Type 1 everyone knows it's 1913. There's no reason to mess with it. You'd only decrease any value.
Same. It shows the listing briefly and then the login screen. The link must be from a "message seller" screen. Only the 1982-D small date bronze...
It's curious that the strongest strike of the bison doesn't show anything from the FIVE CENTS except a small piece of E inside the other E. I...
June 3, 1903 was Theodore Roosevelt Day in Aurora, IL. He stopped for a visit and there was a parade with 50 carriages....
Post a link to the listing and perhaps we can decipher it. I've looked at thousands of listings for Barber dimes (and many others) and have never...

I'm more curious about the 1903-O "WH/LT" dime. What the heck is WH/LT?
Canadian uncirculated sets were deemed "proof-like" by collectors. They were never called that by the Royal Canadian Mint. Since they were from...
I especially like the ladies' penny costumes. Everyone got one last night, theater capacity is 370. I wonder how soon one shows up on ebay. [MEDIA]
Stephen Colbert had a segment on the demise of the penny and elongated cents tonight, culminating in the dramatic reveal of a custom Late Show...
Seeing how thick it is to get a 1 oz coin reminded me of why it's used for bicycle frames - low density (weight) but the highest tensile strength...
Now I'm wondering who designed it. None of the sources I'm finding say anything about it. William Barber perhaps? In looking up foreign coins...
You can kinda see it's 1929. I'm wishy-washy about whether it's wishy-washy though since it came from grandpa. [ATTACH]
The cert# seems fairly recent. If they didn't give it PL the first time I doubt they would on a resubmit. But who knows.
All of mine were face value except for one in a 1964 put-together Whitman set I bought from the LCS as a kid. The silver ones still circulated...
A new coin sits on my desk for a while, until the thrill wears off. I examine it multiple times with a magnifying glass, looking for die cracks,...
Edit: I guessed correctly so I didn't want to ruin it so quickly...
Separate names with a comma.
