Welcome to Coin Talk. My strongest recommendation for anyone becoming interested in collecting error coinage is to listen to Chris in post #2...
Go to the Canadian Ballet. Although I don't think they would appreciate coins instead of notes.
Sooner or later, the 1974 and 1977 rolls that my uncle gave me when I was a kid are going to end up in circulation. Should have sold them for...
Great find(s). Hope you get some decent $$ when you sell
There has been 1 small date 1982-D copper authenticated. Out of the mulILLIONS of small date 1982-D zinc cents minted, if you trust you scale and...

I have Menzel as well, but it's more of a token reference. A bit of an overkill if you're just doing notgeld. Actually, I've never used Menzel...
Looks like a filled die. I have a couple with a filled 3 and 4 but none with 2 digits missing. From my observations in over 45 years of...
Upton is easy to use, but has no pics and was published in 1970 so the prices are useless. I bought my copy in the 90's and paid about $10....
Acetone will not react with silver or the products of silver toning, so it's safe to use on silver. It will remove many organic materials that...
