Ouch! Still a sweet counter marked coin!
...Said the guy who harshly cleaned this perfectly good coin with a rare "specimen" counter stamp. I hate when this happens. [ATTACH] It...
Got an answer from NGC: THEY ARE CHANGING THEIR DESCRIPTIONS OF VARIETIES! Check this out: __________________________________________________...
What's the "baseline" condition of this set? XF? Or did you just fill it with the best examples you could find?
I really, really like this set. I like what you did to "fill up" that last page, too.
Now for the REAL uses for coins. Note Coin World's disavowal of any claims made......
I'm gonna kill that dude that told me that! No wonder I still blew a .20! Dang.
Hey, I used a cent to open a soda can AND a tin of kippered sardines. Believe it. I'm disappointed that they didn't mention the "suck a penny...

The thing is, I HAVE checked there in the past. The titles for the 1970 coin varieties did NOT appear as metal percentages before! This is the...
What's the problem, man? [ATTACH] What's wrong with guys livin' in van down by the river?
It is hard to tell the difference between the two varieties with the eye at times. Before XRF, I think people, even TPGs, just looked at the...
Yes, I have heard from someone here that NGC owns an expensive, handheld XRF analyzer. Just shooting the coin would make it clear which variety a...
That's what I was thinking, but with all the options TPGs give customers, maybe it's an option they give the customer. I will contact them...
There are two varieties of this coin This one is 88% copper - 12% zinc: [ATTACH] This one is 65% copper - 35% zinc: [ATTACH] There is no...
