:eek: Where in the world does THAT come from? I need to know more!
Ah, hindsight: the thinking man's investing tool. ;) (As opposed to "the rich man's investing tool")
Which is the only way you're likely to see me enter a Ferrari showroom. :rolleyes:
That, and/or they don't know what they're doing. A quarter is 91.67% copper, 8.33% nickel; it has two layers of 75% copper/25% nickel bound to a...
Hey, at least nobody's piled in with five pages of gold-bar photos... ;)
Possibly. But more likely, it was just two people putting in bids at the last minute ("sniping"). By doing that, they didn't give you time to...
Okay, now I have a more pressing question -- why were they issuing coins in 1921 with Lord Voldemort's likeness?
Around here, I get 5s and 20s all the time -- ATMs only dispense 20s, and if I feed a 100 into a self-checkout it gives back 20s, never 50s. Some...
And dollar coins last longest of all, because they mostly just hang around in bags in vaults...
In the timeless words of KC and the Sunshine Band, "uh-huh, uh-huh".
And suitcases, and mattresses, and... If a $100 lasts 2.5 times as long as a $1 bill, I'd think that says a lot about the degree of "circulation"...
Hey, I still want to see @kanga's 1877, too... :)
1969, for all its problems, was still blessedly innocent of disco. That didn't hit the fan mainstream until the mid-70s.
Probably not, without photos or descriptive information...?
+/- 1.5 grain, according to the Director of the Mint. ;) Thus, 0.097g. Whatever the tolerance was for piastres, it seems unlikely that it would...
Interesting! Given a weight tolerance of .097g for US silver dollars, their maximum weight should be 26.827g. Do you have any information on the...
The square tubes do run higher -- currently 37 cents for small sizes, 50 cents for large dollar and ASE sizes. If you can get them locally for 50...
I don't know, but I see the same thing all the time on Barber coins. I wonder if it's a difference in relief, or a tendency for people to put a...
My first thought would be heat damage. Clad coins are prone to blisters like that when they get hot.
Well, I am full of ideas. Or full of something, at least...
