That coin has been repaired. You don't see a lot of these in circulation but if they are done well they'll work in a vending machine. They are...
You speak as though coins are just sitting around waiting to be cashed in. Coins have never sat around much except back before 1972 and the FED...
Even if the total numbers of cash transactions decreased in a given year the 3 to 5% attrition rate will assure that large mintages are still...
No. With a rub it will grade AU-58 at best. I don't think they'll grade FB except on BU coins.
Beautiful coin but you're certainly right it has an obverse rub (at least). Hard to tell if it's FB or not.
Even if it really has a rub there probably aren't 100,000 finer examples. Nearly 35% of the mintage is gone now and most of the rest are vf or...
It's a shame it has a rub since the coin is a real beauty. It is hammered (very well struck). It would be nice to get a look at the obverse as...
The problem is that '83-P dimes are scarce in BU. The bigger problem is most of them look like junk. Nice well struck specimens that were made...
I agree it's a nice coin. But it does appear to have a little corrosion on it. I don't have much luck finding any of the older zincs in nice...
I don't disagree but there will be buyers when they are legal to melt. Sure the recyclers will want most of the profit for themselves just like...
And this is where the publishers have long done a disservice to moderns; they don't list the relative scarcity of nice attractive well made issues...
You apparently haven't tried to find a nice AU 1966 or '83-D cent in circulation recently. The '66's are worn and the '83-D's are mostly gone now...
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Copper pennies have more than 2c worth of copper in them and all of this is recovered when the coins are...
I don't doubt that this is true but I'm not talking about small errors in measuring devices but rather large errors that persist for years....
By definition "faulty" means random but these errors are never random. They invariably favor the house and this requires intention. These guys...
These are just great and a steal to anyone who can give them a good home. If you ever thought of starting a transportation token collection and...
Would it be bad manners to suggest I got a bunch of these? I've always been a big fan of transportation tokens and am keeping only a few of my...
I'd rather see jail sentences really.
Buy the folders to hold coins and fill them with the nicest specimen you can find. Soon enough you'll know what to keep. In the meantime you can...
Very few BU coins were spent in the crash because there were almost none in existence.
