No reason not to hang on to it. It only costs a dollar to stash it. Nice find.
Sadly this is a dug coin with damage but looking for opinions as to wether or not there is a closed 9 variety for this year?[ATTACH]
Brian's Variety Coins, a selling site, has a lot of photos also.
The USGS maps are a staple for me. A lot of work cobbing them together as they come in four sheets but I have about 20 of them now, all put...
An interesting article in Government Executive online has a non profit organization petitioning for the replacement of dead presidents on $20.00...
You have a date and type so still makes for a good type coin. And no residue from acid treating.

Not everyone does. Mine are both tonal. My old White Bounty Hunter has a V.U. Meter and my Tesoro has only tonal. I bought what I could afford at...
True but how about if they are hermetically sealed like the TPGs do it? That's a question and not meant to override your legitimate observation.
Okay, I will admit that some find these very collectible and if you really like them buy them and enjoy. But with the price of silver you just...
No, they are gimmicks for people with too much money to burn. Palau, Liberia, Australia and many others are making a killing on these oddities.
If it is really old I would be careful with the plastics used in older album pages. It looks in the photo as though they are yellowing. You can...
If I find glass then I'm stuck there like a fly on, well you know...LOL
Beat me to it rick. they are fun to use stamps with tho.
