I ordered a couple of coins off of ebay, they were both sent out today: 1887 dime: [IMG] [IMG] 1873 3 cent piece: [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks. My mind has been blown by what I've found in less than a year in a podunk store. Imagine if I was able to go through all the change that...
The last few days have been fruitful: pennies from 1941-P (2), 1944-P, 1945-P, 1951-D, 1952-D, 1957-D (2); nickels from 1944-P, 1946-P, 1958-D,...
The oldest coin that I have found in circulation was, oddly, an 1861 British half penny (I live in America). The oldest US coin was an 1893...
Tonight I pulled a 1951-D penny out of a roll, I pulled a 1946-D, a 1959-D, and a 1960-D penny out of one roll, a 1957-D and a 1960-D nickel out...
The last two days I've found 1946-D, 1951-D, 1959-D (3), and 1960-D (2) pennies; 1939-P, 1949-D, 1954-D, 1957-D, and 1960-D nickels; and a 1990...
They harshly cleaned 25 year old coins? Were the peace dollars even collectors items in the early '50s?
If anything was done to this coin, it was at least 60 years ago as it's been in the family that long and I know for a fact that they didn't clean...
I'm still learning how to grade coins...
It must have been exciting. I still dream of a huge stash of 1964 dollar coins being discovered in a vault somewhere....
According to Wikipedia: In the early 1960s, a large quantity of uncirculated Morgan dollars was found to be available from Treasury vaults,...
"Problem-free" is always good. Thanks for the kind words about my peace dollar.
I agree with flintcreek. If you like a coin, then it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks of it. I caught it when I cleaned some horridly...
Joke.
First thing I did. As I said, I was looking for personal experiences.
Not really. I have a shield nickel with a very worn obverse but a reverse in great shape.
I've found a couple of nice '64 quarters and a whole bunch of nice silver dimes (many of them are also '64s) in circulation. How long they were...
That's partially because of the superiority of cupronickel as a coinage material. Silver coins are more romantic and are more valued, but the...
Agreed. I inherited a modest collection of mostly circulated coins from my grandparents (my grandmother is still with us, but she told me last...
This coin has never been graded but I'm just curious to hear some opinions of those more educated than I am. The coin means a lot to me, and it...
