I think those are "plating blisters", where the copper plating on the cent bubbles up from the zinc core. Others here know more, and should chime...
What link do you mean? Since eBay erased the original auction, it intercepts the link in the OP and sends you to a list of "related items" (which...
For what it's worth, at least one of the auctions completed, and several others stayed up for quite a while, but as of today they've all...
There'll be plenty of time for patience later, especially when you have kids of your own... :rolleyes:
I've spent a lot of time looking at Barber halves, so I see a number of red flags on the Barber half; furthermore, the one shown in the second set...
"Squalor". "Squandering" would mean she did spend her money. (Sorry, couldn't leave it alone, it itched too much...)
I wasn't either when I started, and have some embarrassing purchase records to show for it. :rolleyes: If you enjoy the hunt, you'll get better...

Not crazy at all. You just have a normal human visual system working in the normal way -- finding patterns in what you see. But sometimes those...

Then you should tell them to fix their Web site. ;)
Wow, I'm sorry to see people having been so grumpy on a Saturday night. :( Looks like there were at least two snipes on this auction, driving the...
Yeah, that was me. As I posted in a follow-up message, I suspect they may be simply sorting on weight, not other properties -- in the three rolls...
But which one?!
I'm pretty confident that there isn't anybody here who would have been bidding on that lot, but was dissuaded by this thread. If anything, posting...
Are you the seller, then? ;)
Separate names with a comma.
