Talk about mark-up!! Those hot dogs at the Long Beach shows darn near equal the parking fee!
An old gold crowned tooth of mine broke off recently. I asked my dentist what the karat value of dental gold was, and she replied,"18 K". Does...
I did a little research in George and Melvin Fuld's reference book. The craftsman who made the die for the ovberse was Emil Sigel of New York...
Do you mean what looks like an incused "T" (or maybe an "E") near the "S" in "Contractors"? Mine doesn't have that mark; the field is quite clear...
Mine isn't in as nice a shape as yours, but it looks substantially the same (as far as I can tell). The head band seems to read, "Fort Lafaye"...
I have some that say,"Millions for defense - Not one cent for tribute". I also have one that sarcastically says,"Millions for contractors - Not...
I received the cent with the log cabin reverse in change at a local Rite Aid a week ago here in the Los Angeles basin.
Thank you all very much! This forum is a fountain of knowledge! I now have a beautifully encapsulated $5 coin. Not exactly cost effective, but...
I sent off a 1941-S Mercury dime to ANACS because I was just sure that I had the large "s" (rare variety) mint mark. Alas, ANACS said it was the...
Thanks, CentDime. I'm still keeping it in the rather strange "wrapper" it came it. It looks like it is heat sealed between two sheets of...
Ooops! Correction: It's not a "prosperity", it's called "American Buffalo 2008 Celebration Coin". The little pamphlet says the mint is West...
I have the one ounce uncirculated Buffalo "Prosperity" issue (in the neat little red box). It came with a protedtive film over it (not the...
"Side by each"? That's a phrase from a certain region of the country, but I can't remember where. Do you mind telling where you were brought up?...
Thank you all very much! It's such an impressively sized coin I couldn't quite believe it was only 25 pence! Of course, British coins are pretty...
I don't mean what they sell for, I mean what is their equivalent in modern British money. I have a 1965 Crown (Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse...
Thanks. I'll keep my eye out at the next coin show in Long Beach (CA) in Feb. The mint packaged sets contained the P, D, and S-proof copies of...
I bought this series of sets when they first came out, but I never see them listed (as to present value) in any of the coin magazines. I've been...
Bill (foundinrolls), My 1928-S is probably no better than G-4 (I'm not a pro at grading!) I finally looked it up in Coin Prices magazine and I...
14 stars on the real one, 15 on the suspect one. Different knot in the hair ribbon. Different chin and nose. Slight breast reduction!...
Question for Bill (foundinrolls). After reading all of the above I scampered off to pull out my two dime booklets. I think one of my 1928-S...
