I get a tad giddy when a wheat cent shows up in my pocket change. Just got home from a weekend holiday and poured all the weekend loose change out...
In the early 80’s the Government sent all those SBA’s overseas for us soldiers to use. A genuine greenback dollar bill was a rare sight.
Oh man... I am on vacation and away from my resource materials...... Seems to me they are somewhat scarce because many cents from this period were...
Nope. I will disengage here. I don’t have the luxury of staying up all night posting uninformed and unwelcomed drivel. You feel free to exercise...
And rest assured. I used my time wisely overseas and became a very proficient musician. For ten years after leaving the Army I toured the east...
Never really occurred to me how soft copper is until I joined CT. And how odd some of the displaced dates and verbiage can be. I decided I gotta...
I’ll throw in another monkeywrench. The curl on the bottom of the displaced numeral looks like a “3” to me. I am throwing 1936 into the mix.
Thank you @baseball21.... Some folks are oblivious to the meaning of self sacrifice. They are allowed their narrow viewpoint because of those that...
No it was not me. I was overseas in the Army and it was decades before the internet existed. Not many coin shops in the outlying bergs of Germany.

Ike’s tend to fall in that clad coinage no mans land. I love em because they helped to fuel my love of coinage as a lad and hope one day they will...
This is the correct answer. There was a thread not long ago. Fellow at a coin show picked a $60.00 Morgan from one dealers table. He knew it was a...
I looked at this yesterday and withheld my feeling.... When I see toning around the edges and devices that has something of a perfect or sprayed...
I really do not remember at all.
I have seen these on what I would consider legit dealers websites myself. Large sheets too. Far too large for a mint employee to stuff in his...
It has certainly seen some mileage. Still is a nice looking coin. I would call that squarely in the fine category myself.
When I see coins like yours I always think they likely sat in somebody's drink holder taking a coke-cola bath. A coin left exposed to soda for a...
That is a nice dime for sure. I have a 42/41 and even with my worn out aged eyes it is readily identifiable. Your dime is nice for sure, but I...
Separate names with a comma.
