Ooh, ooh, I'll sign up for that 1895-S giveaway! Something tells me you're going to be waiting a very, very long time to pick up a key-date...
I agree that the surfaces look dead, but I also think it's possible to make a good coin look like this with bad photography. To me, the toning...
Yes, but when did people stop spending them? Another member here has a twenty-cent piece that he received in circulation, toward the middle of...
They made their bed, they can pay for the fancy sheets. :rolleyes:
But it goes on to say that microbes in the environment and in the human gut turn elemental mercury into the forms that are highly toxic. On the...

I'd like to get one of each, to have, not to flip -- and I'm almost entirely a "buy cheap so you can sell expensive" opportunist, erm,...
Looks like it shows the unmistakable signs of early-20th-century Smithsonian "conservation", too. :( "I still see some dust. Scrub harder!"
I've lived my whole life on the East coast, so it's always been a big deal for me when I find an S-mint coin in circulation. The YN inside me...
Yeah, and this would be news to exactly nobody who knows me. :rolleyes:
Are you sure you were born and raised in America? ;)
Well, you could bake out the mercury (OUTDOORS) -- yeah, it would go into the atmosphere, but that's not much mercury, and it would dissipate...
