My impression from the OP is he is wondering how long until they are sildom showing up in bank rolls. We know they will never be rare or even...
Depends on what the thickness on the blank was. Thickness of a modern cent it would be 3.86 grams. Thickness of a modern nickel it would be 5.11...
Yes I would go with 194, definitely not 193. On 193 the leaf cluster overlapping the base of the T in CENT is stemless, this one has definite stems.
You will note he said RAINBOW toning, not just toning. Coins with intimate contact with the bag possibly toned dark, maybe gray or even black,...
And it typically happens in industrial machines (larger and in more constant use) not in your typical home model. Even then it takes awhile.
Spot - 25% is ridiculous. Less 2.5% maybe but not 25% That would mean he's only paying $937 an oz. APMEX is pay around $1220 that's about 2.4% back.

That is true, but the mint would make a much larger profit on the seigniorage and be able to turn more over to the general fund if they weren't...
I don't consider die chips or cuds to be errors, they are just continuing deterioration in the life of the die.
That would go under the Modern Gold tier (gold coins 1965 to date with value under $3000) Grading fee would be $30 + $10 handing fee + $31.45 for...
I was there until around noon
But keep in mind that the tissue test can be fooled by a silver plating.
Close AM's are what each of those be so they are worth about 1 cent apiece
Yes, if you chew on them or heat them up in a skillet and breath in the fumes.
And where was it for the 33 years before that?
Looks like 132.
