I've had these stacked on my desk for upwards of three years. I wonder at what point I'll just spend them. I think they're all cool designs...
I have never seen "experimental anti-tarnishing agent" on a slab before. Weird! How is that a "mint error"? Seems like it was deliberate, not an...
You might be thinking of one of these things worn on a belt; I remember them too. Seems like every carnival worker had one. Same kind of thing,...
I'd like to get one someday too, as a Barber coin (reverse from a sketch by Morgan). This quote from wikipedia cracked me up. "The event...
[ATTACH]I like the reeding marks on the reverse. I don't know why but Franklins seem to be more prone to them than other coins. [ATTACH]
It's undoubtedly a spooned coin or a dryer coin. Pics would confirm.
This just arrived yesterday after a long vacation in Denver. VG8 isn't that worn but it's been around the block a few times. It's special as an...
Yes, I believe technically it is mail fraud. You would have to prove that they knowingly sold you a counterfeit though. According to USPS: "Any...
I also noticed all the small gold nuggets and error coins. If I "won" either of those, I'd be like, what am I going to do with this? There's a lot...
I think it's more likely to get Details - Rim Damage or Cleaned. That spot on the reverse is probably pretty flat on the edge. Seems like a good...
Check the seller location and feedback. Look at Heritage sold prices for Details coins. I see an XF Details Scratched sold this month for $480 and...
Thanks for going into detail about all that. The quoted part is the confusing part for me. Before w***6 started bidding, 9***j would be shown as...
That's not my point. All the discussion about rounding presumes that companies keep the same prices in one cent increments. If they did, of course...
So $2,294,470 at $995 each. It would be interesting to know what the total real value is, but I'm not looking up 2306 coins. :)
Yes, it is a counterstamp by jeweler Joseph Olivia Patenaude who was also a big silver and silver dollar coin enthusiast in Nelson, BC. He bought...
I've wondered, what is the symbolism of the cap being on a pole? A hundred years later with the Barber coins the cap is on her head. Yes, the...
But it's not just a single year's coinage that is circulating though. Post-1965 coinage - the vast majority still circulating I'd imagine - would...
[ATTACH]
I have mixed feelings about it. There's the history and it's kind of official. But on the other hand, "I accepted this coin in commerce" isn't...
You can't fill up jars forever though. Wasn't there a coin glut and lower mintage across the board in 2009 from the economy tanking and everybody...
