Well the dates are 1881 and 1956, so it is the 75th anniversary of something.
Did Barber design it? I have a done and quarter - want to get the half and dollar some day, and the 1847 cent. Then my Hawaii collection is...
By the way. WWII short snorters are a great piece of history, but why not create your own? I have a Saddam banknote signed by a bunch of guys...
They weren't meant to be spent. They were signed by your buddies or acquaintences in the military. People often strung a bunch of them end to...
This is good logic. If the 2006W were a one shot issue, then it would be rare and desirable. But, if the whole unc. W series drifts along...
2006 was the same, but they came out so late there was not much time to order before the year ended.
Maybe not "post mint", but almost certainly "post strike". (Could also be something that occurred at the third party packaging place that rolled...
I hate any mention of these. I got the Mint order form in the mail, knew it would be a rarity, but didn't do anything. Wasn't there also a matte...
True. But, I have also moved up to having single punch stamps made - one punch with the word or words in one stamp. My initials, for example are...
Why?? It is illegal to melt them (recent Treasury ruling) and collectors don't want worn examples of coins that are cheap in BU. If you could...

I've used this method for several years to get counterstanoed coins into circulation. Put it in, hit return, and get a new coin back. I take...
With all due respect, you should listen to those here with experience. There is no way that turpentine, light rubbing, and an old t shirt can be...
I think I would have to disagree . In Europe there are Euro collectors now, not just collectors of each nation's coins. Also, coin collecting is...
I got a heavily cleaned but nice detail Charles shilling. Got it from Littleton (yikes!!) some years ago - part if a hoard discovered in the UK...
Here is the situation as I see it: Defacement (in legal terms)? Probably not. The currency can still circulate. Counterfeiting? I think...
I'll add seemingly meaningless counterstamps to coin with the best of them, but you have me stumped on this one. It is either a prepared...
It doesn't matter how many are needed - they will be minted because it is the law. We'll be swimming in dollar coins.
With all due respect to thiose involved, anyone who pays 5 or 20 times face for this is an idiot, as is the seller who is trying to hype it up....
Separate names with a comma.
