Based on the appearance and weight, I'd say that's the most worn Lincoln cent I've ever seen.
Fraudulently offering to buy or sell at a certain price, with no intent to commit the transaction, is a different matter. Different enough, in the...
Only in lower circulated grades, looks like. In AU and MS, the 1928 now lists for less than the 1921, to my surprise. (And, of course, we won't...
That's what I thought I was seeing in the photo -- a bright line indicating a raised edge, but no dark line indicating a corresponding drop on the...
About as much as is lost if you mash one of the reeds with a dull knife. In other words, none -- it just gets redistributed to the rest of the coin.
Not quite all. Counterexample: the 1928-P Peace dollar, which kinda slumped over the last 10 years.
Not a believer in the overdates? ;)
Best luck we had was when we were moving into our house, and taking down the spectacularly ugly window treatments in the master BR. We took down...
In fact, at the Raleigh show I think the dealers were paying fairly close to spot for bullion. Then again, I was only trying to sell junk silver...
Thanks for posting that link, meant to do it myself and forgot. I usually just Google "Raleigh coin show 2021", but that link is one of the first...

I'm surprised you could land a 70 at a premium that low, even now!
I bought one raw on eBay when gold was fairly low. It has a copper spot, but I'm not bothered by it. I was actually thinking of carrying it as a...
Banks and coin services would treat it like cash if it were worth more than the cost of sorting, counting, and shipping it. Ditch everything...
As @Collecting Nut said, it's environmental damage. That kind of corrosion can appear to enhance detail, just like restoring a date on a nickel.
What is the world coming to, when a new form of money attracts people who have lots of money and want to make more?
Waiting for the thread detailing all the reasons Type 2 is a terrible, horrible, worthless design and they never should have changed from Type 1....
You mean, like they do right now with physical cash, via inflation?
Polyurethane isn't a polyester. It looks like it might be safe -- it's used as a coating to prevent metal corrosion -- but I don't know if...
Huh. Wonder where you go to get palladium planchets?
Separate names with a comma.
