By putting not just a living president but a current sitting president on it, they're making our currency political. I would strongly object to...
They both ran for 50 years, but I bet the total mintage for LMC is way more. Wheats had all but disappeared from change by around 1970 when I...
Other than "errors", to me toned coins are over-hyped. Some of them are butt ugly unless you catch the light just right, but people are going gaga...
Yes, large date. Here's my quick trick - if the bottom of the 2 can't fit between the 2 and the rim, it's the large date. One glance and you can...
Nothing to get mad about once you understand the games people play. I observed the $1 thing a long time ago and bid with $2 or $3 increments (or...
Thanks, I always forget about the 1982 No P. PCGS oddly calls it both - their #5207 calls it "no mintmark - weak" and their #146349 calls it "no P...
5.5 and is this a red core from one of those lottery things?
I wonder if it's a form of verdigris that has this appearance because it's a thin layer of copper plating over zinc. It's showing in small places...

That site is amazing. They even had this one at Niagara Cave, seems pretty obscure. Got a couple there this summer and don't know where I put...
200 was a bigger deal but I don’t recall Gerald Ford putting himself on a coin. Not good timing I guess.
Yes, of course. But my point was - what is the economic benefit for having small denominations and what is the detriment (if any) if those...
Just another distraction.
With both 13 and 15 stars. It's fake regardless.
Soak it in acetone.
I think you're going dot crazy. There are "dots" all over the coin. It's just corrosion. If you look at the image I posted, the one near the 4...

This got me thinking - what is the hidden "benefit" to the economy by facilitating commerce? I'm no economist so this is just a ramble, but for...
I see what you're saying - a dot is closer to the 4. I'm not familiar with these but from looking at online images there appear to be three types...
Separate names with a comma.
