No, the pre-1934 double eagles never had an ounce of gold. They were based on a standard that pegged gold at $20.67 per ounce, so they held...
Again, I would direct your attention to the 1896-S Barber dime. Do tell me where to find one of those at scrap prices.
What, did everybody else miss that 1896-S dime (fifth post, fourth item)? Bit of damage on the reverse, but that's certainly still a solid...

Bummer. Seems like this would be worth a letter to headquarters, especially if you're an account holder. You may not be able to change the mind of...

Hmm. I was ready to mock the assumption that coins would demand a significant amount of steel, but: If I look at the 2014 Mint production...
Looks like the website is based in Austin, TX. I had to dig around a bit to figure out where this had actually happened. Not a lot of info in the...
Looks like some cameo on the half?
Looks like it to me, based on comparison to the one I posted here, which a couple of folks identified as inverted-S.
Well, bye.
Yep, my math was off -- I got $17.27 per round, not $17.027. How embarrassing. And I've even been helping a sixth-grader with fractions. :oops: I...
