Don't you think, though, that if you can reliably pick these up "below value", then most other buyers will expect to do the same?
People dump Morgans and ASEs at banks, too. I don't really consider that "circulation", because they don't go back out to ordinary customers in...
From a description here: I'm a little skeptical about this claim...?
No, toning isn't specific to sulfur. It's a result of very thin layers of any compound that's more transparent than silver, but less transparent...
It refers to a substance that facilitates meandering and pointless discussions.
Inertia, and the collector market. We're discussing circulating denominations. Dollar coins haven't been issued for circulation since 2011;...
I'm still betting the dollar will outlast cash, but we'll see. (Maybe. I figure I've got at least another three decades if I'm not stupid or...
Bought five 1oz silver rounds a week or two ago when silver was 17-something, private-issue "9/11 commemoratives", in a fine wooden display box....

I'm interested, too. I'm skeptical of anything that relies solely on electrical testing, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. (I really want an...
I Did Not Know That. Time to go back and reread the Red Book, I guess. The OP's coin suddenly sounds a lot more interesting...
I've never seen the sense of a 1:2 value ratio in coins. It's easier to deal with three quarters than a quarter and a half. It would be easier to...
Were 1974 coins still struck in 1975? I know 1964 coins were struck late, but hadn't heard about others. Also, were there ever any official 40%...
Well, sorta. Before 1866, they were silver half-dimes. ;) BTW, welcome to CoinTalk!
In 1976. So this would have to be another "mischievous time-traveler" error.
Coins, except where I can get non-coin PMs well below actual value. (I define "actual value" as "what I can confidently sell them for, minus...
Sorry, Poe's Law. :rolleyes: Stay tuned, the actual "rounding always goes against us"/"it'll cause inflation" posters will be by shortly...
