They aren't?? Wow! You just spoiled my whole year. :)
Sunoco did the same with Presidents but with stamps. I still have mine.
Funny you should mention this. I was just reading a NN news article about Mel Fisher and his achievements off the coat of Florida.
Not eliminate but more so, hides as those nicks and scratches are still there.
Well said and I second your entire post. Probably from 1982-1989 the problem with plating issues continued and then things got better. But a lot...
Possibly the 194? are 1946 and similar to the one @Myka Gilliam posted earlier. Grease filled. What would be amazing is if they were all from the...
What the Nut ^^^ said. :)
I don't follow the FS numbers. Is it a WDDR-043 from Wexler?
Not "off" center, just poorly centered. A real off center would have part of the next note showing, if only by a little bit. Well centered notes...
It's your collection and your choice so my only advice is to slow down a bit before you purchase. Try to negotiate. Maybe save up a bit and try to...

Most people leave Nic-a-Date for too long, waiting to see a date rise up. That's where the brown spot occurs. Doing it several times quickly...
Not always. If you wipe it off in 10-15 seconds it will not leave a brown spot but will leave a "cleaned" spot that's a tell tale sign you used...
As said above. The silver look is not silver, it is zinc. Something in its environment removed the thin copper plating. This is basically road kill.
I have seen similar staining before myself and always wondered if it might be due to a bad wiper blade on the cylinder. I know it's not the right...
Take Eds advice above. Not worth spending $50.00 or more to slab a worthless coin. If you like it, by all means, keep it.
I see that the metal has been moved around but not really where the loop of the lower loop of the eight would be. Maybe @Jack D. Young could offer...
Separate names with a comma.
