Since you said it's a 2022 dime, I assume the date's still visible. Is it clear, or faint? What about the other lettering on the obverse (heads...
I haven't heard much about fakes being struck from stainless steel, just softer iron. Have you checked whether it's magnetic?
Thanks for trolling a five-and-a-half-year-old thread, I guess.
Thanks for posting that, @physics-fan3.14. I'd been trying to read the name as "Casta-ing machine", i.e. a machine that you use to "casta" a coin....
Those field lines definitely look raised in these photos, but if they're die-polishing lines, someone must've polished the die with the bottom of...
I got a quadruplicate post yesterday. I hit the button once, and then again when nothing happened (I thought I'd missed it). If I'd hit the button...
There's a lot of that going around. I got a quadruplicate post yesterday, and I swear I hit the button at most twice.
Those figures are both in nominal dollars, not inflation-adjusted dollars. If you're just trying to preserve nominal dollars, stuff paper money...
I used ferric chloride to etch PC boards back when I was a teen. For nickel restoration, I much prefer a white-vinegar soak. It leaves the coin...
And if you'd put that same $1,000 into silver 40 years ago, it would be worth roughly $530 in today's dollars. (Silver went from $13.96 in Feb...
When there's a good public-health justification for ensuring free access to ASEs, we can talk. ;)
Yep. It's been hanging frequently for me over the last few days, particularly in the (East Coast) late evening. Other sites are fine.
So... what, exactly, does "good for the grade" mean for a lowball coin? It seems like a lowball registry would penalize beans...
One of the reasons I'm in this hobby is that I'm nearsighted. I can focus on small details better than most people my age. On current US proofs,...
Looks like another coin was smashed against its obverse while it was lying reverse-down on a concrete surface, maybe?
Absolutely. They call it laser frosting, I call it laser pebbles. They both sound like breakfast cereals, and the devices produced using this...
From one of the reviews, it... doesn't understand mint marks? That's going to put a pretty firm limit on its utility.
The no-cents variety were heavily hoarded when they first came out. It's by far the cheapest date in higher grades. All the same, I've certainly...
As I was saying before all four replicated posts got cleaned up :rolleyes:... I didn't mean to suggest a coin like this could be improved by...
I would have grabbed it even without the 50% discount. :rolleyes: Are you saying that something needs to be done to the coin to conserve it? I've...
Separate names with a comma.
