Done many moons ago most likely, continued to be circulated so extra rubbing from people exchanging it back and forth smoothed it over the years.. ;)
The media using facts? Any journalist using actual facts in today's media is immediately terminated and banned from writing or reporting again. ;)
One could hope I suppose! Perhaps a redesign of the coin is in order.
Well, from the pics, it's a 1909 VDB without the mint mark. My advice since you might not be able to get a photo of what is seen by actually...
Looks like a regular old non-S 1909 VDB to me with what appears to be PMD that slightly resembles what you might be seeing. I'm unaware of weak...
Mine has been happy in it's home, sitting with the rest of my collection. Going by the recent trend, the proof will likely have between the...
Sorry, typo's suck. Thanks for the correction, I meant 1/100. For all we know his scale didn't go beyond two decimal points and the weight could...
CNN seems to have this currently as a top headline as well now:...
An impulse buy on eBay I saw browsing and it only had like 30 seconds left. I'll get better pictures, this is from the auction but after receiving...

Hard to tell on price. Most in uncirculated condition I've seen go around $200-$600 or so range. Since this might be improperly cleaned, probably...
Unique for sure, first glance says it's a post mint error but since there's no similar damage on the arm or liberty crown, I'd say it's actual...
Very nice. Hopefully you didn't pay more for the unit than the value you found inside. :)
You can still count me in at the $600 price.
Yeah, I'd say 13.49 is spot on for the weight still if you take into account any wear, etc. Good luck though, nice find if it's real, even if it...
Well, the weight is accurate for sure. Hard to tell though from just the pics. Try and look up authentic pictures of it or take it to a local...
I won two auctions off eBay, 2007 and 2008 partial uncirculated mint sets to acquire the presidential dollars for the presidential dollar...
Everything is legal until you get caught. :D
