Possibly an incomplete clip. (Punch cut part way through the strip and stopped. Then the strip advanced slightly and the blank was punched out...
Not really. 2005 was the 20th year of production, but only the 19th anniversary. So their slab was wrong as well.
I knew about them and I would love to have one, but I can't afford them. They do show up on the market from time to time.
What I can't figure out is why a box of dimes is only $250? A box was half of the old mint bags before they went to the ballisic bags. But a bag...
Which is silly because MOST Unc dollars sat in the original bags until the early sixties so the difference in time in the bag for the typical Unc...
I have never seen that one before and I would bet it IS one produced by the new owner (Possibly a new new owner as the person who bought the...

The problem is that Paypal is like eBay, the 800 lb gorilla of the online payment services. Yes paybox may be a better service for you but if no...
They sold to the distributors for the (spot price X 5) + $10 or a little less than $160 per coin or about $800 per set.
Why? Many countries do not have mints of their own and instead contact with other mints, both public and private, to strike their coins. That...
Interesting, I was not aware of such an arrangement with the cotton mills, but it describes perfectly the situation that surrounded the coal...
It would be a transitional error. The clad composition patterns were struck using the Martha Washington/Mount Vernon designs. The 1964 quarters...
I just picked this one up on eBay. [IMG] It's a 4 reales of Spanish Mexico counterstamped by the Bank of England to pass as a florin during a time...
