Interesting how many people throw money away.
From what I've seen ChatGPT is worthless for coin values. 1947 is the year of authorization and the numbers in the stars are the year minted....
The first images show a coin with significant circulation that has been rubbed on a sidewalk. The second images are some other coin. :)
Just got the Patsy Mink in change. One more women's quarter for the pile on the desk. I'm only saving one each, until I end up spending them.
Sounds like a financial lesson? Sorry. It also seems like this "collection" was seeded with fake high dollar items, but maybe the collector didn't...
I firmly believe that future archaeologists will use the "pull tab layer" to precisely date other artifacts.
This is one letter to N.O. I had saved. https://archive.org/details/rg104entry229box107/page/n247/mode/2up. Some subtle digs in there. There was a...
Do you have a link to that discussion? I'm curious if it's a letter I've already seen or not.
I wonder how often people experience buyer's remorse. You didn't want the silver round, so you could have just bought the other two coins and had...
Gosh, I never go to that forum section. Good to know. Guess I should search it and see, otherwise I wouldn't be aware of it.
I've been through everything on that site multiple times. It's a great general resource - links to the online Lawrence books, authenticating the...
It appears to have been painted or plated and then soldered to something, like a tie clip or money clip. Then they damaged the reverse trying to...
That depends on your definition of "federal" and whether the Confederation Congress qualifies or that the "United States Mint" was established in...
I cheated - I can still scan your barcode. It's also listed as Philadelphia mint on their website. Pretty disappointing mistake. Their images are...
I would probably have been disappointed. I tend to look for Canadian (sometimes seen) and Thai (never seen) coins at the local shows. Endless...
This one also has a hole, but is VG....
224.5g is 7.92 ounces, not "3+ oz." Maybe double-check the weight and/or what you wrote. I can't see anything in their list that weighs half a...
Wow you're paranoid! The cert# is readable and checks out on NGC. All I did was edit in Picasa and show properties. The thumbnail is supposedly...
https://archive.org/details/varietiesofthefu1982newm/mode/2up Know very little about them, this reference came up in a search.
It just seems like a lot of work for a thief to go through when they have no idea whether you still own the coins, or if they're stored in a bank...
Separate names with a comma.
