Many coins experience some kind of change in color after being handled and exposed to the elements for 77 years. Impossible to know specifically...
So, which is it?
Good point. Perhaps better to limit it to coins currently in circulation. However, I suspect that might take the discussion in a direction the OP...
Agree with all of that. One of the few modern US commemoratives I find halfway compelling (and hence, the only one I own) is the 1982 Washington...
Nothing wrong with that. Taking care of the coins you own is the first order of the day and money wisely spent. Just placed a $50-ish order for...
Be my guest. You can have mine as well.
"No-brainer" being the operative term.
I'm with you, Inspector. And I'll pass on this.
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that said: 1) Again, the photo doesn't fully reveal it, but the detail in the lion and the castle...
I guess I'd want to make the distinction between non-circulating commemoratives and circulating business strikes. By all rights, limited edition...

Ceasing production of Lincoln cents would make them way more collectible, right? It's a win-win.
The problem in this example is that it's stated in terms of decile, not percentile. Apply the same rule as when you round on your tax return:...
I might crack a coin out of a slab. But I'd never do so for the reason of putting it into a Dansco album.
I have a 1904 with very similar coloration. I've owned it for 30+ years, so I know it's never been messed with. In fact, I've seen a lot of IHCs...
I was going to say 64, but not surprised by 65. It's a very nice coin.
You're overreacting to Brina overreacting — and more importantly, misunderstanding — something someone else said. There's been no throwing of...
Everything greenie said. Personally I wouldn't pay the premium, unless I wanted a single example for a certified type set. But I might see...
Separate names with a comma.
