Man, oh man. I hate to hear that sort of thing. Thoughts and prayers...
The F was on all Buffalo Nickels, without exception, although it is possible that an extensively worn piece may no longer have it. As mentioned...
Sure. They look pretty generic, but even generic circulated silver dollars have value. The silver in those alone is worth roughly $15 per coin at...
That would have been a fair offer IMO if the coins had problems. One of them at least appears to have been polished.
The first place I look on those is at the arrow feathers, and the second is at the eagle's breast. The 1921 has parallel arrow feathers much like...
It is definitely not just you. :)
I will be there. There's rarely a shortage of people at this show. In addition, the vast majority of shows in this part of Texas have...
The US Mint actually did this in the early days, overstriking some half cents on Talbot, Allum & Lee coppers.

At a glance, there aren't any special coins there; all are common dates, and none are in outstanding grades (I suspect the gold is ex-jewelry)....
I put together the list. It's nice to see some discussion; this means that somebody out there reads my stuff. :) There are basically two things...

I've been known to present brides with a sixpence before the wedding. :)
There were no Philadelphia mint nickels or half dollars from 1968-1970.
They weren't. It was far more common to find half dollars in circulation in the mid-seventies than it is now, but 90% silver coins like the...
Can you post a picture of the coin? It might not be worth slabbing at all.
Nope. They were making off-metal strikes just because.
