That would be S for the 1915 and O for the other; the NO mint struck its last coins in 1909, I think.
Pretty sure that's a Type I.
Holy cow! That 1897 dime still has some meat on it! And two Barber halves -- if you all were digging in NYC, I'll bet that 1915 is a Philly mint,...
Yeah, I worry enough already about people "helping along" potential lowball coins. The last thing I want is to give people incentive to drill new...
Those are lines on the die, aren't they? They don't cross the devices, and it looks like they're raised, not incuse. But even if the coin wasn't...
I wish I knew who and where QuarterMaster was, solely for the purpose of sending fan mail... Edit: and there's the email address right at the top...
Okay, another question: never mind price spikes, what's likely to cause the next silver crash? I don't really look at 1980 as a precedent; I...
I'm not the die guy, but... dude, clean your microscope screen! :yack:
I guess Monday is still a state holiday in China. I'll be watching with even more interest Monday night (US time).
And how many $1 bills would you have needed for a coronary bypass?
If this really is just an excessively-plated blank and an XRF misinterpretation, wouldn't its value be a lot lower? I wonder if PCGS has any sort...
I think we're venturing a bit too far into politics here. Let's not get the thread locked, shall we?
I got the "packing your order" update, which I think requires action on the seller's end. Fingers crossed! I was also eyeing this lot, $15.70...
I've had a dealer at a show gently scold me once for including some worn Barber dimes in a lot, and say that he'd generally offer less for coins...
Well, they're pretty heavily worn, so they won't be full silver weight. It'll still be a great deal if it comes through, though.
I'm hoping it works out, but I don't expect to know until Monday - it looks like this is a business/storefront, and I'm not sure how much they...
You may be right. I certainly agree with you on ASEs and Maple Leafs, but it's seemed to me that the spreads on those are higher in general. In...
That seems more plausible. That's one downside of the increasing availability of XRF - people tend to take it as gospel, even in cases where it's...
I appear to have just won a roll of 40 well-circulated Barber quarters for $350 shipped. We'll see whether the seller backs out. (I bought one...
Indeed it is! I hope they hire some good people, and I hope they listen to them. I wonder how the listed salary range stacks up for someone in...
