According to http://www.pcgs.com/News/The-1982-No-P-Mintmark-Roosevelt-Dime, the expected lifetime of a dime die in 1982 was 75000 strikes,...
Haha, I see now what I wrote was badly phrased. What I meant was that if you have the proper safe at home, do you get the same rate from Hugh...
I'll trade you a whole load of gold stickers for that coin if you like. :) IMO, the holder offers a little collectability in itself, but not...
My one and only bank note. One of only 9 for this type and denomination in existence, according to the census, and the second finest. [ATTACH]...

If you're selling, yes. If not, are you collecting numbers or coins?
I like to refer to coins like that as "able to signal neighboring villages." :) I'd say overall I'm a 6 or 7 on the series. An individual coin...
It's certainly an event worth commemorating, and, if well done, would be the only modern curved coin in my collection. I suspect, however, that...
