I still see the occasional eBay listing for "Eisenhower dimes". I'm not sure @cpm9ball was implying that most Americans couldn't identify...
I've seen "label isn't appearing in the postal service system" many times. Sometimes, it was a "seller" in the process of scamming me. Sometimes,...
When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be a thread about First Spouse gold. My answer was going to be "I don't think about them much at...
"Hah-hah! You pay more than face value for coins!" Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to discussing my March of Dimes set order in the...
So, I got 80 cents in change from self-checkout at the same store tonight, and again, I got three Kisatchie quarters -- and, again, one of them...
I think the analyses archaeologists use aren't that simple, certainly aren't very cheap, and don't do so well at distinguishing how many decades...
I appreciate the tip, but this is about the last coin I'd consider submitting for that treatment. First, the coin is massively impaired. Besides...

Sounds a lot like the talk around the gold Kennedys, and I remember how those panned out. On the other hand: 75,000 mintage limit here -- no...
Yep, that sort of thing is why I don't always speak up anymore when people shout "never bid on auctions with bad photos!!!" The more people...
So, do you suppose that was a 9AM Monday batch, or a 4PM Friday batch?
I guess my best single hit was a $50 gold eagle that somebody listed at $800 when gold spot was around $1300. That was my first big leap of Buyer...
Some of those blobs look more like 40-grit to me... Not sure I'm even willing to throw $10 to ANACS for this one. If it had a chance of being...
Can we see the reverse of the 1901 and 1903 dimes?
Well, to be fair, it's probably been resting for most of those 88 years. But, yes, that's better than the average circulating Buff. Good find!
Well, if you're on a slow connection, the thumbnails load a lot faster. And if you're on a metered connection, it's good to be able to choose...
