Poking around the internet, I see there are a lot of fake versions of this coin available, some look pretty good.
I'm with Randy, easily worth $20 even if it's just a nice fake. PCGS says there was only one die pair but each coin was struck multiple times so...
I think it's a known issue but I don't know the details. You may want to start a new thread or search out the subject. I know others have brought...
Mint is showing the uncirculated dollar is unavailable and the mintage came in low. So I bought one. Shouldn't have, but the MS70 does look great....
Nice finds. Someone is buying from the Mint and releasing them back into the wild.
Me, too. In a moment of weakness, after seeing the final mintage figures, I broke down and bought this uncirculated dollar. Not entirely sure why,...
I don't wish to speak for the OP but I don't think ANACS was slabbing coins in 1980. I would be interested to know what type of ANACS...
The ANACS opinion in 1980 should be pretty credible. Of course, you may still want to slab it for other reasons. ANACS declared a 42/41 dime of...
I never find anything in a CoinStar. Today, at the grocery store, while my wife was settling up, I swung by the CoinStar to look...and there was a...
It's also very likely that your coin is a earlier die state of Larry's. Which is kinda cool, if not financially rewarding.
Now that's a funny looking coin, I don't care what y'all say. :hilarious:
I've posted this before but it's my 1997 botanical gardens dollar, still in the OGP, that has a tear in the plastic film encapsulating it. Over...
Am I mistaken, or are there no commemoratives scheduled for 2023?
The Royal Mint is issuing a £2 coin commemorating JRR Tolkein in 2023. (No, that's not Gollum on the obverse, for all you Chuckie III haters)...
Ok the rub on the surfaces is certainly there, but it's kind of hard to believe this thing circulated at all. :)
Looks like Kurk Products was in business in the mid-50's, so Inspector43 is probably right about the zip code. They aren't around any more as far...
Brand new, shiny copper coins are usually described as "red". As they age, they turn brown. So red, in the case of a copper coin like this one, is...
Sorry, I just re-read your post and realized you already identified the small 10¢. I don't know how to identify the JR variety. Others will know.
Here is a graphic courtesy of USACoinbook.com My untrained eye says you've got the small 10¢ but I'm often wrong. Nice gift BTW ;) [ATTACH]
That is my recollection as well. I wasn't especially interested in Morgans, and they were expensive, at least to my budget. In hindsight, I wish I...
