At the time the Mint stopped making half cents, their purchasing power was equal to about 14 cents today. The purchasing power of a cent (small or...
The ever-in-demand "glossy silver" toning? o_O
If (as the Canadian mint says) it's encoded onto the die, it seems like there would be lots of coins with the same code. Or do they do some sort...
I'm guessing it's the obverse, not the reverse, that gets the "most beautiful" appellation. I know that I find it hard to get enthused about...
I don't know anything about authenticating these errors, but at least it's not backward. (I knew it looked familiar for some reason...) [IMG]
Well, this is interesting: I found an Apollo gold listed under "Collectibles", but it also didn't show tax on the checkout page. So they aren't...

"Smiley"?
<scratching needle across record> Take NOTHING to the bank yet. That single coin, even in that poor condition, could well fetch $100 or more on...
Oh, come on. :rolleyes: If you're concerned about the preservation of "proper English", please mind your capitalization, and then go back and...
That's impressive. Is it actually etched into the surface? If so, what was the technique?
Now, don't confuse the cost of living with the cost of making life worthwhile.
Fraud is fraud.
Hope you die before you get old, eh? Statistically, it's likely that my best and worst days are behind me, simply because there are probably more...
Separate names with a comma.
