Well, I believe in numbers, not all that other stuff. Basing designation of a new century (or millennium) on number of years since Jesus was born,...
Both coins seem heavily corroded. I would typically look up values on Numismedia and use 50% as a rough guess due to the corrosion. But there are...
I've never understood this "there was no year zero" argument because it makes no sense. Of course there was a year 0. You can't have a year 1...
Need better focus too. Value-wise I vote waste of time, "interesting" is up to the collector. I mean, if it was a Morgan it would get a VAM...
Barbers you say? So many fun things to collect, if you're into this kind of stuff. Obverse 1 / Reverse 2 and 1/1 RPD Discovery Coin...
I also have an 1858, but not as nice. Found in the pulper clean out pit at a recycled newspaper plant in the late 1970s. One for @lordmarcovan 's...
Lawn mower accident was my first thought too. Hopefully not in someone's pocket at the time.

$100 million, 15,000 coins set to be auctioned. Thought it was interesting....
It's all relative. 20 years ago I spent too much on some that turned out to be dogs, like this Canada 1945 $1 marketed as MS60, paid $185 thinking...
Links are helpful. So you think it's this one? http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/1964PDDO022.htm Other than a couple...
20 years ago I bought dozens of coins there. I'm lucky if I buy one a year now, with careful vetting of seller, feedback, images, etc. They've...
I've told the story many times on here how my grandfather got tons of world coins from being the head librarian at the Chicago Tribune, and split...

I see pretty girls with wads of cash in their hands. If they're resorting to that, nope.
Have you looked through these? http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%201/DDO%201957-D.htm The second T in Trust looks more...
More of an online "miracle." Six+ years ago someone posted this 1895-O 10c (key date) to another forum asking if it was fake (it is). Someone...
