I was in Ocho Rios one time about 10 years ago. Stopped in while on a cruise. It's a pretty city, but the locals can be overwhelming! It's a poor...
I, for one, think you did the right thing. I don't know how that other "coin person" could not identify the copper/brass showing through on the...
Here is my first Large Cent that I picked up from Tom Deck (great guy by the way). It's a 1798 - S-169 R3. I also have this coin. It was...
I think another option to consider is back in the 1940's and 1950's, it was quite common that people would dip coins in Mercury. I've seen plenty...
Welcome to the addiction of Large Cents! There are some very knowledgeable people on this site that will no doubt be able to help you as you go on...
Thank you so much for the generous opportunity! Please count me in!
Thanks for posting the pictures Dawg. I'm looking at what you've posted and trying to find the numbers you said you've seen. I don't see any...
I'm not seeing the double, but I am far from an expert. I'd wait to see what others think. There is definitely a 97's double ear variety as listed...

I am soooo confused here. Are you saying you've found evidence that the Mint stamped every defect/blemish of a coin (the Peace dollar you spoke...
Based on the design that can be seen, I'm almost certain that this is a British Pound coin (specifically Whales). There are many version of this...
I was not aware of that little loophole. Very interesting! I"ll be doing some reading on that for sure this weekend! Thank you @-jeffB and...
You raise very good points @Conder101 (as usual). I will say your argument on the State coppers is a very good one, and hard to argue against. I...
Though I appreciate your input, I think you are mistaken. I think this fits perfectly into the discussion at hand. As the OP stated, playing...
I'll second @Clawcoins sentiment. It must be a "Legal Tender" of the government that issues it. All other things produced to replicate a "coin"...
Here's some suggestions for you: 1955 50 cent Franklin - Bugs Bunny 2009 Lincoln Cent - Extra Finger I really think you should consider a...
Though this is a neat "exercise", I guess I'm curious. Does it really matter what dates they are? I don't mean to be the "negative Nancy" on this...
