When I first learned about this, I was all hot to try it myself, until I discovered: 1) The capacitors I have on hand won't work at all, and the...
I thought this was going to be another thread about "which gold coin is best for stacking". :rolleyes: I haven't heard of them, and when it comes...
Let's just say I don't think that would be a winning bid. :rolleyes:
For a 1921-D ? o_O
Was looking for the auction number to report it, then I realized who was posting. I assume you've got it under control. :) Thanks for putting...
I'd lean toward G-6. Don't know if the "key date bump" would be enough to get it to VG-8, but I kind of doubt it with the rims in that state.
Man, I don't think I've ever come across dateless Buffs for less than 10 or 15 cents apiece. I'd buy at that price, especially if they have...
When I hear someone haul out the old chestnut about "buy real estate because they aren't making any more of it", I think of Hawai'i. Of course,...

Shame how the shovel nicked off the mint mark on that 1916 dime... :troll:
Ladies and gentlemen, the demand factor. The Denver Mint struck 264,000 1916 dimes, almost 80 times as many as that Jane Pierce uncirculated gold...
Preach it, brother!
I think you may want to revise that sentence just a bit, lest you end up featured in a best-selling book...
This would be a real bucket-list stretch, given that none are known to have been minted: [ATTACH]
[IMG] Jane Pierce First Spouse gold, uncirculated. Mintage 3,338 -- and no one cares. They sell for a bit over melt.
Guess if the machine didn't want it, he didn't want it either. Glad you spotted it!
Seems to me the obvious halos around all the devices, obverse and reverse, are a strong sign that it's been cleaned.
That's where I get nearly all my change, not that I get much change any more. And, yes, I've gotten wheats, circulated proofs, and other oddities....
You appear to be arguing with yourself.
