It's not just coins. Several years ago, someone posted to the camera collector list (IDCC) about something similar -- he stopped in at the local...
Two other things stand out to me: Given its age, and lack of wear, I think it's likely that it spent most of its life in a collection. And, given...
It's woikin' like a chawm! [spoken in my native Bronxese]
Nope. [ATTACH]
I found this while going through a box of pennies (Brinks) purchased at the local small-town bank, in hope of finding something that might have...
"entry post" 1, 7, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5 The photo to the left of this post is a 1974-D JFK DDO which I found while coin roll hunting. It was a customer...
While going over a bank roll of pennies today, I found a nickel plated 1956-D penny. It looks like it was in fairly decent shape when it was...
I said I was not going to reply further, but congratulations, you succeeded in baiting me (unlike the edited who double-posted before you)....

PS: The surfaces of the coin are no different from the 99 others that were in the bag. If not for my having decided to segregate the coins by the...
Nope, definitely not a strikethrough. I've got enough of them within three feet of where I'm sitting to be able to tell. There is a nontrivial...
I'm thinking I may have to break down and actually send this in to a TPG (it would be my first; I collect coins, not slabs).
Golly! My italics triggered you? How bold of you to speak out! Oh, you poor thing. Life must be terribly hard. I tell you what. Why don't you...
There are FOUR fairly deep gouges, at the four cardinal positions (NSEW). Some of the edge lettering is OVER the scrapes. They start as a scrape,...
A while ago, we bought a $100 bag of the Jim Thorpe dollars from the U.S. Mint. I put them all into 2x2s and wrote some identifying info on each...
