When you consider how much silver is still in circulation, you would expect better than 99.9% of all the rolls to not have any silver in them. So...
I have heard rumors of a GSA hard-pack holder with a blue insert but I have never seen one. (Supposedly it had a peace dollar in it.) If you do...
Don't kid yourself. Missing clad layers are rarer than cuds, but even cuds are hard to come by. They watch the dies pretty closely and they are...
I'm not positive whatyou mean by binary. To me binary would mean consisting of only 1's and 0's.
I can think of one, but it is so far fetched it is hardly believable. It would require a dollar and a quarter planchet to enter the coining...
