There are always a couple in my jar every time I roll up the quarters. I don't think I've ever found one in a condition as bad as the OP example....
If you had 10 coins you could do the ANACS show special 10 for $140, so grading/slabbing per coin $14. Variety/error attribution would cost...
Does the edge have a seam or a casting sprue? Some contemporary counterfeits can have value. I have an 1861 dime probably worth more than a real...
I think you could still test it with lower grades that have full rims and in roughly the same condition. I'm thinking 10 in VG from both eras...
I won’t even click on it because then their view count and paycheck goes up, and it pops up more often for other people. All this stuff is...
@samclemens3991 My specialty if I have one is definitely not grading. The quote on page 179 confuses me because on page 170, Bowers seems to say...
So any anniversary number of years ending in 0 or 5? 1916 end of Barber dimes, beginning of Mercury dimes. 1836 end of Classic Head half cents....

I'll pile on. Even without the scratches and residue I'm not sure how it graded XF45 in the first place. CAC isn't infallible either.
I vote punch out as well. I have one that for a long time thought it might be a cent blank, but it's only slightly larger than a Fiji 1c. Yours...
I've had the same thought regarding gold. If you're prepping for financial Armageddon, don't you want discreet known usable quantities? I suppose...
In my local cash spending I have yet to run into a business that was out of pennies or that insisted on rounding. In fact the most recent time the...
<$16 each plus the case is a steal. Given the circumstances I'd consider kicking in another couple Benji's but obviously that's your business. It...
How rare is my collection? I may be the only collector who has all 21 Barber dime hub transition varieties 1899-1905. So who knows, it might be...
