(whine) Do I have to?
's OK, I didn't know that either. :) So, maybe a 40% planchet could've gotten ahead of the production run -- but that seems really, really...
I'm interested, too. I'm skeptical of anything that relies solely on electrical testing, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. (I really want an...
I Did Not Know That. Time to go back and reread the Red Book, I guess. The OP's coin suddenly sounds a lot more interesting...
I've never seen the sense of a 1:2 value ratio in coins. It's easier to deal with three quarters than a quarter and a half. It would be easier to...
Were 1974 coins still struck in 1975? I know 1964 coins were struck late, but hadn't heard about others. Also, were there ever any official 40%...
Well, sorta. Before 1866, they were silver half-dimes. ;) BTW, welcome to CoinTalk!
In 1976. So this would have to be another "mischievous time-traveler" error.
Coins, except where I can get non-coin PMs well below actual value. (I define "actual value" as "what I can confidently sell them for, minus...
Sorry, Poe's Law. :rolleyes: Stay tuned, the actual "rounding always goes against us"/"it'll cause inflation" posters will be by shortly...
Why on Earth would you think this? Every gas station near me advertises prices to the tenth of a cent, and the last digit is always 9. There has...

I'm ready to say goodbye to everything smaller than a quarter, but I'd settle for getting rid of the cent and nickel. My grandparents as children...
Someone must be able to, or else what's the point of getting a signature in the first place?
The cent an nickel are already trivial because of the inflation that's already happened. In fact, I'd say that they were trivial by the end of the...
"Remember that guy who kept coming in and trying to spend those weird coins that don't even have a slot in the cash register? They won't go into...
I remember similar ones that didn't have the relief. They would've displaced Wisconsin for "flattest design ever placed into circulation". Edit:...
Given that your thread title asks about "collection/investment", I'd say that "the point" is not as well-defined as you may have intended. As...
Looks to me like the front has a layer of something stuck to it (as opposed to being struck through something, or ground down after being minted),...
Wow, that stuff has gone up since college days... :eek:
