Damage seems a likely explanation but it's curious the denticles and grain are not affected.
Please disregard the posts above. You have a very rare, possibly unique coin. The coin was minted in the second century A.D. in Rome during the...
Surfaces actually look good, I seem to have washed out the photo by editing it. Most curious about the "A"
I came across an attractive 1837 dime but I'm curious about the "A" in America on the reverse. Is this a variety or damage? TIA for looking. [ATTACH]
You already scored a Millard Fillmore! Everything else is gravy :)
According to this press release, the new quarters will be released into circulation on April 5. The proof set comes out a month earlier, so that's...

Brandishing a pistol behind the wheel. My, the time's have changed. (I would have been all over one of those)
I agree, probably PVC damage (if the flip is soft and pliable, it's probably PVC). Toss the flip, give the coin an acetone bath and put it in a...
I agree. I'm trying to ignore new mint offerings but an uninspiring piece at a high price like the law enforcement museum coins has all the...

That's one of the cool things about this hobby. Sometimes a coin has a story attached, and the story makes the coin forever a treasure.
The McAuliffe coin will probably sell ok, maybe not great. At $671 & $681 each, who's buying the gold? Three-coin set at $746?
Considered the McAuliffe coin for a second but $69 & $74 is too much money.
If that's the case, sure. The only listing I see on eBay clearly states they are Cook Island double liberty coins.
Actually, that's both sides of a 2-headed coin. You can buy them for $9.95 here. Minted by (or for) the Cook Islands apparently. 71 mg (not g) of...
Christa McAuliffe and Law Enforcement Museum commems on sale now. Anybody buying?
Nice looking coins, I've got two. Only worth melt, though.
Actually, the first 7 presidents are still available directly from the mint. Van Buren goes on sale next week. $65 each. o_O I bet a complete set...
