Because the coins are holed or made into jewlery they have lost most of their numismatic value. Value would be a bit more than the value of the...
Oh c'mon now Frank - that makes at least 3 times :D
I am saying that more fake 1090-S VDB cents exist than real ones period- whether slabbd or raw. Most of the surviving examples of genuine coins...
No, but there are more fakes than there are real ones. And none of the fakes are slabbed and a whole dang lot of the real ones are slabbed. So...
Well there was a time when I was a collector of original Mint & Proof sets. Used to be I never went to a coin show where I didn't go thru every...
Wiki's are only as good as the people who post to them. As a general rule you will find good information and bad information. And if you don't...

It may wll be a Franklin Mint issue. I suspect it might be a play on words for marketing purposes more than anything. You see, one of the...
There is a reason one should never use soap/detergent to clean coins. It's because it is all but impossible to rinse all the soap off the coins....
No.
Looks more like album toning to me.
Yes you can have die polish lines on Lincolns. But kanga is correct in this case. Those are marks on the underlying zinc planchet. Die polish...
For the most part, yes, planchet quality had greatly improved. There were still isolated instances, but very few. We still have the occasional...
Yes, you do. And so does everybody else. There are not enough hours in the day or days in the year to produce the amount of coinage needed for...
