That's a pretty one in the series. I like most of the issues from the 1890's up until the 1930s. Before and after that, there are a lot of ugly...
I've only got 2 Franklins, and here's the one I could scan easily: A 1958-D. Not the prettiest Franklin - I think this is probably what he looked...
I recently picked up a lot of 5 So-Called Dollars that includes one I'm not familiar with. I was buying the lot in order to get the UN spinner...
Sheesh. That's quite annoying - and the pattern is disturbingly well done. The one you linked to has a very dull (almost pewter) look to it. For...
Thank you! Any idea why the state of Louisiana and the Confederacy struck half dollars but not dollars? I see that there were 1860-o's... were all...
Sorry, but that link isn't working for me. Are you logged in, perhaps?
The 20 centavo has 0.0965 ounces of silver. Sadly, it is a common date and in low grade, so it's going to trade very close to its silver value...
Who is the issuing authority for the "dollar"? Usually, that's the point where these private mints run into legal issues.
That seems to match what I've read and seen. If Elaine has any evidence to the contrary, I'm certainly interested. Also, I would love to get...
How do you identify this as a mule instead of the relatively common 1918-s 5 centavo (with both obverse and reverse of the correct dies)?...
Well, that's a shame. It seems like the two of us would have had plenty to chat about (and I joined just around then).
There are some beautiful pictures in this thread, so I think it deserves a bump. Also - I greatly enjoyed the story about how the new coins were...
It's a bit hard to see the coin in that picture. Do you have a scan of the coin? The bigger, and higher DPI the better for identifying it. I've...
A few other countries mint to the same standard. You may find your coin listed on this site: http://www.islamicmint.com/dinar_dirham/index.html
The 20 centavos is in fine to very fine. I'd give it a F-12 grade (and that's net, with the reverse bringing it up). The Morgan doesn't look...
Well, banks do have reserve requirements, so the halves aren't hurting them. Except possibly in storage costs.
Nice! Now I've got something else to look for in junk bins. Thanks for sharing!
These "commemorative" coins are pure schlock, in my opinion. They aren't raising funds for a cause, and they contain a deceptively low amount of...
Good pickups there! The bins in my neck of the woods tend to be 10/$1, but it's been ages since I found any silver. There are occasional low...
There's a thread on those here: http://www.cointalk.com/t149938/ Do you have any scans? I'd love to see yours.
