Possibly. But more likely, it was just two people putting in bids at the last minute ("sniping"). By doing that, they didn't give you time to...
Okay, now I have a more pressing question -- why were they issuing coins in 1921 with Lord Voldemort's likeness?
Around here, I get 5s and 20s all the time -- ATMs only dispense 20s, and if I feed a 100 into a self-checkout it gives back 20s, never 50s. Some...
And dollar coins last longest of all, because they mostly just hang around in bags in vaults...
In the timeless words of KC and the Sunshine Band, "uh-huh, uh-huh".
And suitcases, and mattresses, and... If a $100 lasts 2.5 times as long as a $1 bill, I'd think that says a lot about the degree of "circulation"...
Hey, I still want to see @kanga's 1877, too... :)
1969, for all its problems, was still blessedly innocent of disco. That didn't hit the fan mainstream until the mid-70s.
Probably not, without photos or descriptive information...?
+/- 1.5 grain, according to the Director of the Mint. ;) Thus, 0.097g. Whatever the tolerance was for piastres, it seems unlikely that it would...
Interesting! Given a weight tolerance of .097g for US silver dollars, their maximum weight should be 26.827g. Do you have any information on the...
The square tubes do run higher -- currently 37 cents for small sizes, 50 cents for large dollar and ASE sizes. If you can get them locally for 50...
I don't know, but I see the same thing all the time on Barber coins. I wonder if it's a difference in relief, or a tendency for people to put a...
My first thought would be heat damage. Clad coins are prone to blisters like that when they get hot.
Well, I am full of ideas. Or full of something, at least...
So... market opportunity for a third party to open a registry service that accepts coins from both (or even more) TPGs? I know! They could call...
It's been gettin' too fancy in here... [IMG] Picked up from an eBay listing that called it an 1873. Pretty corroded, but I figured it was worth...
I've had that one on my watch list for a while, too.
I'm trying to decide between that and the old "unevenly mixed metals, extruded in the roller to form linear areas of different composition". In...
I scanned the whole list looking for that one. I guess I've gotten too cynical in my old age, but I can't help thinking a major dealer like...
