Can Morgans, Mercury Dimes or Walkers really be "king" (as opposed to queen)? Seriously though, I have to side with the Lincolns, because of the...
I think that's the point- they're probably checking for 1974-D doubled dies and didn't want to get the same coin back and have to check it again.
I moved from Grinnell to Maine last summer, and went to two or three Van Metre auctions when I lived there. I have gotten some good deals there...
I used to come across the 1974-D with the black line through "WE TRUST" fairly often when I lived (and roll / box searched) in Iowa, but haven't...
What really fascinates me is that the mintage for cents each year is approximately enough for 30 per US citizen, and has been so for a long time....
mralexanderb- sorry to be off-topic but I don't think you have e-mail or pm activated- I have to know, what metal crystal is shown in your avatar?!
Have you also heard that in 1992, most coins were struck with the wide AM, but a few were struck using reverse dies intended for 1993, i.e. close...
Quite right. I just found mine in circulation a few months ago. It just takes time...
This wasn't by any chance Van Metre Auctions in Marshalltown, IA, was it?
Wow.
Unless you're looking for a huge quantity, ask for customer-returned rolls at the bank, or find out which (if any) of your local banks have a coin...
I got them all over a 4-week period, and got 8 total. In retrospect, I really should have done as you mentioned, i.e. ordered as many as...
It sounds like you know alot about their operations- are they different in different parts of the country? Because earlier in 2007 I was getting...
That's fine if you're selling at a fixed price and can set it at whatever you feel the value to be. However, in general when selling on eBay you...
Does the PVC still react with coins even through the mylar sheet of the 2x2?
That was my thought as well- flattened, then ground down. But not necessarily fake.
I recently decided on a change of pace from my usual searching circulation cents for die varieties and bought some BU rolls. I went through the...
The initials are the other thing that I check. Grab a 1992-D that you know is wide AM then put it side by side with the coin in question, and...
Based on the first two images it doesn't look like a close AM; are the initials from your coin? Here's a comparison image of the close and wide...
I've had some luck calling around to various dealers and asking them. Not all have BU memorial cent rolls but some do, so you could try that....
