2 IHC out of $50 is pretty amazing- were they from the same bag / box?
They were all either boxes or bags from local banks, acquired in the past few months. Actually it was the same few hundred dollars that kept...
Thanks! It definitely requires some perseverance but if you stick with it you'll find interesting things.
Thanks! No really great dates for the indians (not that I'm complaining!), just 1893, 1897, 1900, 1901 and 2x 1903.
Hi All, I've been searching through cents since about mid-August and just added up the totals on what I found; I'd be interested to hear how it...
Not familiar with the "RR" designation- could you explain what kind of a variety that is for a 1988 half dollar?
I agree, looks like strike doubling, pupa.
How can I resist? Even though my name is AgCollector, there's still some room for Au!

FWIW, I agree that as long as there's a financial incentive to do so, it will happen one way or another.
They do state that "...individuals may ship up to $100 in these coins out of the country in any one shipment for legitimate coinage and numismatic...
I think gxseries might be correct- "fake leather" could indeed be vinyl, as in poly(vinyl chloride), i.e. PVC...
I have not yet used acetone on any coins, copper or otherwise, but your comment makes me curious, particularly because www.coppercoins.com, which...
I have pondered this for a while now, as to whether using acetone and cotton balls to remove dirt, etc. is cleaning. Obviously it fits the...
Recently found my fourth(!) 1997 doubled ear cent, will have to post photos when time allows.
Not sure I understand you- what is a masonic cent?
