Cool, be sure to check for the varieties that can be worth a a fair bit
I tend to spend bot the SBA's and Ikes I get from the bank. Circulated they arn't worth much (after they are checked for varieties) I like to...
I'm going with Iron. I love cast iron cookware, and you can't beat all the uses of stainless steel :)
I'd prefer to have quarters, seems they'd be more recognizable in any situation where you'd want to barter (if that would ever actually happen)....
nothing in the box of halves, but I got $20 in dimes and did find a 1964, so that was nice. Anyone need a 2009 D dime? I have one or two extra,...
This is how I started my half dollar collection as well. I like to collect from circulation so I was able to do a bit of a "build your own...
but nickels are only 25% nickel, so you'd have to take into account that 75% of what you are buying is copper.
couldn't you just punch them with 'Copy' or something like that? Maybe use a buzzer-engraver thing in a field on the back?
Got my best box of halves ever yesterday! Not a huge find like I've seen here, but I got 12 40% halves and 2 90% halves! I'm to the point now...
do you go over each one with a loupe? I look through kennedy halves but just checking date/mint mark, and try to notice anything different.
pretty cool you got them from circulation! I got a 1969 the other day I thought was old, 1928 is awesome
Wow I really love the design of that coin, beautiful. If I ever buy gold I may have to get one of those... (I don't think she looks like a man)
Possibly stolen? I can definitely see some kid breaking into a house (or his dad's coins) and breaking them out of cases to just spend.
only melting cents and nickels is against the law as far as I know.
Ah was olive green, but not diagonal, was straight across Kennedy's ear from side to side. I'm near Chicago. No silver in the last box, did...
Found two I think, Thick marker (like 1/4" wide)?
I read somewhere that people looking for high grade halves will buy the rolls from the mint, then dump the ones they don't want to submit to a TPG...
are they considered illegal to own? Also are there other dates of henning nickels (obviously would be harder to tell apart than the 1944)
I was thinking inside piece of a two headed magician's coin, but the reeding throws this off...
Wow amazing that you all can figure that out! cool.
