This is the point. It does not "improve" the condition of the note - it only masks the original condition. It is the same as cleaning a coin....
My guess is, it was $2 over the spot price of silver.
What? Scarce? All 2001s or just * notes? Tell me fast. I have been burning through a supply of CU ones for another hobby I have.
In the OLD old days (where is SleinaDG to confirm this?) those were some pretty big pennies. Add some clay and those eyes must have been popping...
I'd be interested to know this also. I have counterstamoed some Buffalo nickels, and they are harder to stamp than newer nickels. Not sure why....
I always heard that in England they put thos eold big pennies on their eyes to keep them shut when the person first passed away. I wonder if...
I agree that it is a counterfeit with the silver worn off, but I think you underestimate eBay. I thin this would fetch at least 5$ US or so.
I don’t see any difference. A 1921 Morgan Dollar is no more of a “limited edition” than a 2004 Keelboat nickel. Neither one will ever be made...
Don't forget the Euro.
Interesting. I only knew of the 1 pf of '48 since that is all I got in change before the teuro. I saw 1949 1, 5, 10, and 50. I was not aware...
I've seen quite a few of these. Die erosion, I think.
Great site, but I must be honest:. I could see it causing some problems among collectors. It is a classic case of a “little knowledge is a...
And another thing.....I would much rather have this brownish toning than the white splotches that have developed on some of my SEs. I also...
I can see how you’ve gotten into trouble on the Forum with answers like this. You have totally misrepresented my position, and you refuse to...
Velvet boxes suggest they could be proof coins. Are they just white and really shiny, or like mirrors with the deisgn a matte white color? If...
I only use Mylar currency sleeves. If I could find a binder made of Mylar I would use that, but so far I haven’t. In the old days, before PVC...
Well, letÄs just say that SOMEONE has to buy the sets, and then they break them up. My only complaint with proof singles is when you see people...
If you're using airtites, then you are way ahead of most of us when we were at your stage. As for the pound of silver, it would best be kept in...
Actually, yes!!!! You are looking at possibly 1000s of $$ in notes that cost about 2-3$ to buy. Bettre than spending 1000s of $ on circulated...
"Go for" and "are worth", are two very different things. Anything can be hyped up and an unkowlegabel buyer can be ripped off. If you can fund...
