This will always be the case. The shear numbers of modern mintage figures continue to saturate the field making anything decades old an even...
It disappoints me to see threads devolve like this. My observation is that some members provide curt responses that are easily interpreted as...
Terrific find!
@masterswimmer must have cloudy eyes after doing some laps!! ;-) That's a nice delam...like half of a split planchet. Nice error...
Maybe less time than you think. Really depends on the conditions around the event. Coins stacked in a drink holder in a hot car accelerate the...
A couple more items from the small hoard of pocket change. [ATTACH]
Gathered in change this morning - fun to catch one on the go. [ATTACH]

Nice LWC! It is fun finding an old, well worn specimen! I've another small hoard to sort...so hopefully something in the mix for a change (pun...
I think it might be a normal cent. It does have some similarity to 004 perhaps...different die stage. But not 002. Wait for the Frog...
Question: third party packaging? No mint sets for that date as I recall.
Back in the late 70s, my brother or I found a shiny 1950 nickel during a CRH event and set it aside with our other finds. We had an old printers...
I crossed that bridge long ago. Before I got back into collecting about 10 years ago, I had been setting aside state quarters and bicentennial...
I agree with Chris. Environmental damage or maybe a bit of solder/flux damage. Make sure that you don’t alter a coin that could be a true error....
Separate names with a comma.
