Those are all interesting thoughts. I can see a more advanced version of Coinoscope (which works "some" of the time) but imagine the resources...
Yes. As a nation I would not want to hitch my wagon to the BRICS train. Why on earth would anyone trust Russia, China or Iran to actually have the...
Huh, I don't see any indication that he "pulled a Biden." He was nominated as a "favorite son" candidate at the 1920 convention by the delegates...
Because it will be removed from the previous owner's registry set? Nice coin. I don't own any good ones, just a short set of dates my grandparents...
That's a wicked die clash and reverse die crack (or break?).
I thought I was clear but I'll rephrase - the coins I own have minuscule metal value relative to their collector value.
Maybe this belongs in the bullion topic. Nothing I own is tied to the metal value, but I guess it's good for some and bad for others.
Since you asked what we think, I think it's practically useless to post a distant image of a screen showing a magnified image of one tiny area of...
I guess it was metric tons, not sure. They're all only 10% different from each other anyway so it doesn't really affect my point. There's a lot of...
I'm not sure if you missed my point or not. I asked how it could decide weak strike from wear, etc, and you responded that it "will be overcome...
Now look at it another way. The total minted weighs about 480,000 tons. The world mines about 20 million tons of copper per year. All the US...
That character limit speaks volumes, doesn't it. Give us as little information as possible so we can pretend we looked into it.
But if someone is expert enough to do video and lighting adjustments specifically tailored to grading a coin, they could just grade the coin...
Mine knows that I'm into it but she has never really said anything. I'm pretty sure deep down she thinks collecting "old money" is stupid. Why on...
I spent a few years in NE Iowa during my younger days. Effigy Mounds is a special place in a beautiful corner of the country, so that's probably a...
http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%201/1936PDDO011.htm on Variety Vista shows the R but is listed as a DDO. I guess they...
People apparently didn't like this design, but I do. [ATTACH]
There's another thread on this. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1794-dollar-us-mint-medal.414468/
The OP example appears to be fairly well-circulated. Were they using these as money?
I'll also point out that a lot of people are confused about what "mint packaging" is, so post an image of an example roll so someone can verify....
