I stand corrected, never heard of cloth packs that you could re-charge.
If you already knew it Ben, then why didn't you mention it ? I'm just as confused as you are, and apparently as confused as the mint is, as to...
Toning is any color that is not mint red. All I have to go by is the pics.
Looks like a modern reproduction to me that somebody tossed on the beach. That thing hadn't been there very long before you dound it. The salt...
Did you miss this ?
Copper is so reactive, and it's been so long since we've had this composition, that we have forgotten how quickly these coins can and will change....
I don't think a TPG would slab that one. Being a dime, there is not much lattitude for damage and the coin has, what appears to be based on the...
I'm thinking it might have been set in a ring. That's about the only thing I can think of that would cause all the stuff going on with the rim.
Well point 'em out then. That's how we learn :thumb: I never even thought about the fat letters, but it's plainly obvious once somebody...
Good catch ! :thumb:

Well the US mint anyway, doesn't usually start production of the next year's coins until November, sometimes even December. But yeah, they always...
It can't. Given everything that everybody has mentioned, I think you need to return that coin pronto snaz.
No need to wait. In the past 5 years they have jumped 200-300% in many cases. Some even more.
The mint stated flat out earlier in the year that the reason the '09 Proof sets were delayed so long was because the cents were toning so quickly....
No, not at all. My only concern was the possible temperature they might reach when recharging them. being exposed like that (plugged in) somebody...
And my guess is that if we do, then those higher prices will have pretty much the same ratios that they had before the PM increases and the same...
That's because that's what it is.
