There's something that I've been thinking about. Verdicare will remove some verdigris, but often not all. With a big bucket of Verdicare, and...
Well, to expand on the answer: the mint had trouble with the early zinc cents. The issue was getting the copper plating to adhere properly to...
I second that.
Eh, clerks don't look at cents too carefully. I suppose it's thicker and a different alloy than most cents they see, but they'd take Canadian...
There aren't, far as I know. fish, great find. But are you sure they aren't all 40%?
There are both clad and silver proofs. But I thought silver proofs didn't return until a little while after 1971. Someone else can chirp in here...
What's a "trial die error?" Is that a real thing?
Who's the hottie in the first pic?
It was intended. These sold for a dollar each at the Chicago World's Fair (Columbian Expo). After the Fair was over, the unsold pieces were...
Did you get them for half price!?! Better not head back there....!
The Columbian looks cleaned or polished, but it could be just the pics. You can get circulated or damaged examples for close to melt, or at least...
I wonder if VerdiCare would do anything to that IHC? Also, any idea what the larger, last coin is?
They look like Chinese fakes I've seen on ebay. Bogus lot.
Apmex shipping isn't really flexible ($13 or so at around a $250 order?), but they do make it about as safe and secure as possible. It's unlikely...
Yes, it is. Just kidding, not sure what you're asking in that question. It does look like a mark from a reeded edge of another coin, but I'm not...
Those marked coins were searched, dumped, and rerolled and boxed. So the Red X Searcher hit part of your box, not all, when those coins were in a...
You might be surprised. I wouldn't throw them out, anyway. Ebay those tokens. Or go to the arcade and try 'em out, play some games. I seem to...
Wouldn't a 1988 CAM be impossible? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the transitional errors should be limited to 1992.... right?
Looks like a legit clip to me. Nice find.
Looks like they could use some quality control there. Seems like it'd be easy to notice only half a die striking coins.
