Well, if they aren't circulating as much as previous issues, they probably also aren't sustaining as much wear as previous issues. So there's...
I'd originally planned to put them in the carts at Aldi, but right about the time I got them Aldi put in self-checkouts (that DON'T TAKE CASH), so...
Freaking finally, returned from the self-checkout tonight at Food Lion: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not confusing at all having that P on the obverse...
I've still got a roll of gold-plated NC quarters that I bought for I think $16 years ago. I keep meaning to start putting them into circulation,...
Then they would have successfully copied a massively common coin with no additional value. Winning!
I see a Reuters article from early February, but it calls out no hard numbers. I see a bunch of frantic, foaming, probably-AI-generated sales...
I see one diagnostic that I think may give a clue as to what happened here: [ATTACH] I know, I know, pareidolia - but that looks an awful lot...
"Box". At this point, it's going to be a box.
I know which side of the Atlantic you're on, so I know you're not talking about aluminium. Sodium? Calcium? ;)
If the black gunk's just tar, probably fine. If the black gunk has fine dirt or sand embedded in it... pushing grit around on a coin can damage...
Or a just-listed lot of 15 silver dollars for $820, a bit under spot. Mostly worn, and mostly Peace, and only obverses shown, but there are at...

For me, it was usually the other way around - find something that was freshly posted BIN at a lower-than-expected price, and snatch it before...
Or lucky. I nabbed a few on eBay over the course of several years. Turned a nice profit on a few of them, but if you factor it out over the time...
Yep, if it's cold and dry enough, water goes directly from ice to vapor without melting.
Well, water that condenses onto a surface is technically distilled, I guess - but it doesn't stay pure for long if there was stuff on the coin's...
And, of course, 1913-P is a better date, even in VG!
I guess some of us really, really like to gamble, and apparently this doesn't run afoul of any laws. It sure doesn't appeal to me, though.
That, or sell them in larger lots to people who think they can then break them up for a profit. But selling the whole box is probably the best...
In the very long term, it seems to go up. ("Very long term" is limited here, since it's been "only" sixty-odd years since we stopped tethering...
Separate names with a comma.
