It's true people counterfeited 1's and Henning did nickels. But they didn't profit from it. The point of counterfeiting is to make money. Henning...
OK not a Shell coin.
If this was a Shell coin, wouldn't it have to say Shell Game Piece or something on there? Instead, except for the P mint mark, all the letters and...
I meant, that since these coins were made as replica/ tokens, I figure the weight is not the same, but I was curious if it was found in a coin...

I think $1 -$1.50 as these coins have been picked through and they are all late dates (40's and 50's) which are the least desirable.
Cool.
These moderns are mass produced. It's rare to get one worth more than face value. You want old, rare and good conditioned coins.

Looks like someone just punched an S into the coin. That technology has been around for a long time.
Sounds like a bad scale.

Kurt is correct post #3. There is a slight premium for small date 1982 Philly and small date 1982 Philly zinc. But condition is paramount. The...
Is it damaged? Or is it just toning? If it's just toning, I think dip will make it details. If it is already damaged/details hard to hurt it any...
They must have used those dies to the bitter end, because so many 82 and 83 quarters I see have mushy details.
Yes good photos. However, I believe if you use a microscope on most coins you are going to find irregularities more often than not, and I think...
Seems to be some resistance before 10K. We'll see what happens now that the rebound is close to that resistance level.
