Oddly enough, in change today, I got a 1938-D Jefferson nickel. Only VG, but surprised, cause I'd never found one via circulation before.
Guffaw!
Thanks for the help. I can't post a pic, no camera. And I didn't get it from a paper money dealer. This was a paper ephemera show - you know,...
Was at a paper collector's show today. A few dealers had a few coins on the side. Picked up a 1909 VDB cent for $2. Very nice XF. Did I do OK...
Just bumping this t see if anyone knows more about these. I once wrote to Whitman publishers to see if they would include these in the Red Book....
One other thing. I was down there a couple weeks ago. The coin store is closed and undergoing renovation. I was told that they are getting a...
Most recent lucky finds: an 1895-O Dollar for $10 at a flea market, VG. Found an 1897-O dime for $2 at an antique mall, G condition.
Since it's only in Good condition, I wasn't worrying about holding some potentially valuable coin, or a reasonable facsimilie thereof.
Guys, thanks for all the advice. The coin has been in my safe deposit box for years, pretty much forgotten. Now I will have to dredge it up and...
A slightly weird question: I own a dime that I submitted to ANACS many years ago and in their opinion it was not genuine. I understood at the...
Last week I found a 1940 wheatie in change. No big deal, but it was in VF condition, which is better than most old wheaties I find.
OK, thanks very much.
Did the Mint ever give a final mintage for the 1998-S matte finish Kennedy half? I looked in a recnet Red Book and didn't see a mintage listed....
So a close AM is scarcer on the 1992 cent, I take it? I think I found one in change, it looks close AM to me, but I'm not sure. I don't have any...
Your finds do illustrate the one redeeming feature of the otherwise-ignored Jefferson nickel series: you can still find many of the older dates in...
Not a movie, but someone tell me that I didn't just dream this up... wasn't there an episode of the "Beverly Hillbillies" involving an 1894-S dime...
Thanks for all the help. I still went ahead and bought some of these rolls from the Mint.
Answering my own question, I would think the lower-than average mintage would help their value, but in this day and age of commems and bullion...
Got a 2007 Silver Eagle BU today, but that doesn't quite qualify.
I noticed the Mint's website now lists coin production thru December 2006, at...
