Almost every specimen I've seen it shows up best at the bottom on the inside lower loop of the "3". If you don't see the straightline it's not...
I don't believe most collectors would consider these a variety. It's quite common es- pecially on US coins to have individual dies which are...
Beautiful. There are many items I didn't even know existed. There's obviously a lot of love and pride in this collection.
Your coin appears lower grade. The 20 r is grossly undervalued in BU. There were only 10,000 of these in mint sets and not many were set...
Beautiful coin.
I agree except that I'd make the cutoff at three words. Some of the best posts are very short and sweet.
I won't open badly titled threads at most sites. Here, I'll hold the cursor over the title but frequently they don't even get to the point in...
Everybody's getting pretty smart. Questions are either so difficult I can't answer or so easy that it's better to let someone else answer....
Congratulations.
I've only made money on coins. It was precious little in the old days but many of my coins have appreciated rather remarkably in recent times. I...
It took a while. It started in '94 but it really seemed a lot worse to most people in '96 when the obverse became the convex side of the coin...
The thing is they probably couldn't have made many more than a single piece or it would have been reported. Those that got separated from their...
Sorry. I should have mentioned they both retail around 7 to $9. This is the type of thing that will usually be hard to sell but appear...
I agree that it's quite improbable that they made only one and it's only now being reported. But when there are very few things about a story...
A lot of strange things went on in that era. The implication of what you're saying ius that a '68 die began to be processed as a proof but was...
These are actually two souvenir sets; a '75-P and a '75-D. Of course there should be a '75 nickel in each set as well. This is a fairly...
The planchet used to make this coin was punched out of a long strip of metal by what's called the "blanking press". The strip from which it is...
Rim width varies a little so it's best to look at the distance from the rim to the bottom of the date. Only about 1.5% of the '79-P's are the...
The '86 set is Dutch and quite common. These are nice coins in the set but demand will have to ratchet up pretty high to give them much value....
Geeze. The 5 Franc is wort $5.10 in face value alone.
