I, personally, consider them separate types, although minor. As rlm said, it is real easy to save an example of each. Besides, it looks nice to...
Just an aside, but how do the colored coins hold up in circulation? How quickly does the color wear off?
Many years ago I went the safe deposit box route. After a few weeks, could not stand it, and brought my babies home. What good is a collection...
From the get go, let me say that this is just my opinion, (and we all know about opinions) IF the original non conserved Eliasberg coin came that...
Shhhhh please don't do anything to make the demand for half cents increase. They are still reasonably affordable!
From the collector's view point, I prefer the date and mintmark where I can easily see them.
It would only seem prudent to insure that amount of value. If you can afford to own $500,000 worth of coins, you surely can afford to insure it....
Perhaps I should have said potentially damaging proof coins. On re-reading the posts, silver seems to be in the mix. Having said this I stand...
I can't imagine why anyone would would want to damage proof coins. The 1999 ones alone are worth hundreds of dollars. Maybe instead of saying...
Oh heck, just buy two of each coin type and have one with the obverse visible and one with the reverse visible--simple, no?
Two other sub-types of the Lincoln cent come to mind. After the initials VDB were removed in 1909, from then until 1917 inclusive there were no...
I think that in many older collections (pre plastic) Coins were laid in trays, obverse side up. Could that be the explanation for the obverse...

The word "Hoovering" is surely a typo, but could it be more appropriate? Zounds!
I wonder what would happen if you took a wad of that money to a bank to deposit. Would they become suspicious of all the old bills?
Maybe it is just me, but I can't classify a 1916 dime as scrap. Oh, I know that intellectually it probably is, but, come on, it is coming up on...
THe word acetate does not derive from acetone. Acetone is an organic solvent. An acetate is salt derived from acetic acid. Don't mean to sound...
I have seen several examples of grading standards changing. On Buffalo nickels, for example, A photograde from the late 1970's says that for...
Those are really nice. Just where would I get one of those, and what sort of prices would I be looking at? Not necessarily identical to the two...
The presence or absence of the density on the Periodic Table depends on which Periodic Table you use. The Large ones I used when I taught...
Separate names with a comma.
