That must have made for an awkward fit in the roll! Did the roll still contain 40 nickels? (Also, I have my doubts that that's a diamond-diamond...?)
Nope, in a stapled-shut plastic flip. Which is better than the last one I did buy there, where the guy scooted it across the counter a couple of...
Aww, man, I've got to get better at posting something here before the shows happen. :(
This weekend's the last local show of the year. Some random notes: Same weekend as the car show and the GUN show. Parking is nuts. There's a...
Yeah, I left off the 1933 gold on the grounds that there were a bunch struck, and no telling which of those made it out the door. Same with the...
Google News just presented me with this: Network that trafficked stolen antiquities across Europe dismantled with 35 arrests I see that the...
Except maybe those last five Liberty nickels... :troll:
Yep, broadstrikes are usually struck from normal planchets, with normal weight. They can be thinner as a result of being squished out more around...

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Every statute I've seen regarding...
I don't. I found a Mercury dime in a CoinStar a month or two ago, and I think it continues my normal pace of finding it once or twice a year. Ten...
Lots more people checking CoinStars? Or maybe they've re-tuned the machines so silver doesn't get rejected as reliably?
We've had several car insurance claims and at least one home insurance claim for a burglary. Not a moment's trouble with any of them...?
A simple counterstamp will be incuse. The privy marks are in relief, I believe (struck into the die).
Still waiting to hear exactly what "all the proceeds" means in terms of the agreement between the Mint(s) and SB.
Oh, man, I'm sorry you've drawn that straw. I'm always reading a steady stream of reports on breakthroughs in cancer treatment, but it's never...
Oh, and I see that they're generously waiving the buyer's premium on these sets. Wonder what they're paying the Mint for the coins that will be...
Even more remarkably, this sale will represent the fifth time SB has been selected, under three separate administrations, to harvest private...
Wow, okay, I'm not too surprised to see that Debby Boone is still kicking - but I had no idea her father was still around!
