You'll find some disagreement here about whether acetone can harm copper coins -- some people think it can, some think it can't. You'll also find...
That shield nickel looks off to me, but I'm not very familiar with the series. I don't like the way the denticles disappear around a big part of...
One quibble: I'm pretty sure vinegar eats the nickel faster than the copper. Nickel is much more reactive than copper; it'll displace hydrogen...
Sure. It's been discussed for years, maybe decades. I think it'll be discontinued eventually; the only question in my mind is whether it'll go...

I never even got that far. Look at the variation in stroke thickness in the digits -- look how the horizontal strokes are much thinner than the...
Yup. Looks an awful lot like the fake 1896-P I got a few months ago. Note how the low points of the eagle on the back seem to disappear into the...
I guess my mental model had them using different presses for different denominations, but when I think about it, I can see that that's a silly...
