The 1968 looks like it got smashed by something, like somebody put it under a wobbly table leg or something. The others, while well-struck and...
Now there's an idea for a mint promotion. Release five oz silvers into circulation.
Good question. I don't believe there's been any word on that from the mint.
Looks sketchy, and the seller has feedback of 1. Agree that a coin that nice would be slabbed.
Don't worry about what the coins are worth in money. Old coins that still have original luster are worth saving just to admire and preserve for...
While you locate your pictures, let me throw this idea out - since you seem to have a lot of Lincoln cents, why not buy a book like this and work...
On the surface, I like this idea. But history has shown this doesn't generate interest, and probably reduces it. Plus, it's a burden on manufacturing.
The irony of that article is that it is complaining about the fact that the Mint did change. For years, mint sales were in decline. Nobody bought...
Yes, it does, kinda sorta. That notion occurred to me years ago (when I read about Buddy Ebsen's collection being auctioned) - that we spend...
You guys & gals are impressive and put this amateur to shame. But I'll play anyway. Completed: Mercury dimes Roosevelt dimes State quarters ATB...
Yes, copper clad is normal for a a 1971 half dollar. The typical "sandwich" type coin with copper in between two silver-colored copper nickel...
Yes, it was. I felt it really conveyed how well the system actually works and how unfortunate it is that these two detectorists chose to ignore it.
Interesting read. Bad lapse of judgement and quite a severe penalty as a result.
Interesting - I got an e-mail at 8 am notifying me product was available from the Royal Mint. Navigated there and had no trouble selecting product...

Interesting find, I don't recall reading about this 1 oz coin before. You may be correct about the 500 mintage. I discovered you can go to the...
To paraphrase Will Rogers, good investments are ones that go up. If they don't go up, don't buy them.
You wouldn't even have to go that far. If you win, you get notified that the mint has charged your credit card and the coin is in the mail. No...
Nice eye appeal for the grade, and good obvious mint mark which isn't always the case on worn 16-D's. Nice score.
Don't feel bad, but it's hard for anyone to comment on something they can't see. As for your pennies, those newer than 1960 aren't worth much...
