How many US coins have been produced? Trillions. How many have been melted, lost or destroyed. Millions. The supply is greater than the demand....
Restoring the date with acid makes a key date worthless. It's a Catch 22 since without etching it, you can't read it. And once you can read it the...
The 1982-D small date copper is incredibly rare. They have sold for tens of thousands of dollars. I doubt you have one, but it's possible.
It appears your bill is miscut and not off center. The miscut shows the unequal margins on both sides. The off center shows uneven margins on one...
Maybe heat the penny up first, so when you pound it, it's soft and stretches easier.
Yes quentyn I saw a couple $70 and $90. Seemed too high for me.
How would you get a nickel sized planchet into a penny sized hub? As for the Texas penny (I have one) I think it is put inside a leather belt,...
Nice reverse on that 10 Valpo.
Nice semi key date on the 1923-S. I've never had one.
I agree good photos.
With a very low mintage, this could be a very valuable piece in the future. A definite keeper.
1982 was a transition year, they made copper and zinc cents.
Maybe if you sell it and make $100 profit, you can give her 5 silver ounces and explain they were free. Not to mention the enjoyment you have...
I must have been talking about post #146 the 1980-P, since I don't see a 1980-D and I can't edit my old post. Great thread. If I dig out some of...
My concern about meeting a stranger to do business, was not about meeting in a bank lobby or a police station. It's when you meet them somewhere...

Oh OK. NVM. If it was miscut, both sides would be off? So this is an off center error. Slight premium?
The 82 small date zinc 2.5 grams is worth more. And the SUPER RARE 1982-D small date copper, is the find of a lifetime.
It's very nice.
The 69-S DD is a very rare variety and easy to recognize a genuine example.
