I agree that it needs to retire to my woody retirement home where it can rest until my kids put it back into circulation when I kick.
I can see a small lamination in the middle of the “rectangle” ( on the right), but is the whole rectangle a lamination or will it turn into a die...
Pulled this out of circulation. Obverse has die chip and possible lamination (or another die chip) on neck. The area on the right looks like a...
I received this nickel in change the other day. Can you call a nickel a woody or is that reserved for "copper" coins? Also, I think I see a wee...
I never asked, but based on the food served and the flags and the soccer games on the TV, he/she is from either Portugal or Brazil.
I know they have no value above face, but I collect these serial numbers anyway. I call them skip notes. The great thing about collecting these...
I don’t know what the law is here in NJ, but my local coin shops only charge tax on credit card payments. One of the shops ONLY accepts cash...

Funnny timing.... the Chinese restaurant I mentioned in my previous post changed hands and all the old notes are gone. The new owners have started...
There are displays like this here in NJ. Locally in the Bridgewater area there is one at a local Portuguese restaurant and another at a Chinese...
Thanks everyone for your input. I will keep this coin and start a woody collection.
Thanks for the reference. Although the S has a similar die chip, none of the other devices match up. I wonder if I am imagining things that are...
I am terrible when it comes to determining if a coin has doubling or over mint marks (unless they are very very obvious). The coin I have...
Entry post I think this year I will run for president of my local coin club!
Maybe it was struck on a defective planchette. Looks like it is about to split. Would be a great coin if it did split.
I like the love tokens that were engraved by someone who was not an engraver. It takes a lot of time, patience, and love to make one of these if...
OK, i’m Giving up on trying to figure out which doubling I can see on a cent. If the cent is circulated (which almost all of mine are) I don’t...
