Hmmm... It almost looks like an RPD as well ! Is that a doubled "4" in the date ? (the underdate is shifted to the NW). I'm no authority on...
As you sort a given type (i.e. Lincoln wheaties), learn the key dates and valuable varieties before you start, and keep an eye out for those as...
For storage purposes, I sort mine in "Red Book" order. But for enjoyment or sharing with other collectors, I arrange them in whatever order...
$12,000 for an uncertified coin on E-Bay ? Hmmmm... Even if I had that kind of money for a coin, no way.
I think they're both XF45. Nice ! Look original. IF they are XF45, the 1898 is about $175 and the 1853 Arrows in the range of $35 or so. The...
Man, I gotta tell ya... I was really hopin' to see "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. in the running. That is some bad, bad medicine right there. Lacking...
Slide rule ! :D whoo wee Interesting thread. Thanks !
It's better than reruns of Oprah ! :D

If we were in base 12, the clock's numerals would be as follows : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C * But they aren't. The numerals are as...
Time is not measured in base 12. It is measured in base 10.
Nice ! I'm gonna dive in and say AU55.
Why did they ditch that design ? The Matron Head is not so good. Back in those days, the mint tended to switch designs on all denominations at...
Maybe they're impressed with the excellent copper plating job. Come to think of it, it is much shinier than a steel one... :cool:
Nice ! Especially that 1810. I love large cents, but only have two. I'm having trouble finding the "nice price"... particularly on those Classic...
My amateur eye can't tell anything amiss from the photos... maybe that particular problem is only spotted "coin in hand".
Yes, I too am impressed. But if it ever came down to it, and they did have to buy back a coin, what prices would be used ? Would they use the...
Agreed. One day, it's $5.63 rounded up to $5.65 - I'm out 2c. An hour later, a purchase is $10.92 - rounded down, and I'm break even. Over the...
If you can read... AND think ! The sort of folks who hang around CT would instantly put 2 and 2 together... ... but there's 22 bidders who...
The idea of getting rid of the penny is complex, but minting a 2c piece is simple: NO WAY. It would be unpopular; like a $2 bill. Heck, even 50c...
