You're begging the definition of "worth". You can't easily go out and find a cleaned quarter eagle for melt, and that means they're worth more...
I know I've seen some go lower than that, but maybe not with the paper-in-plastic.
Now that I've got a new metric, I want to go out and measure everything I can find. :rolleyes:
Sometimes they can't even get it straight -- they call it a "penny" at the beginning and end, but "silver dollar" in the middle.
Was it worthwhile to counterfeit a dime out of base metal in the late 1800s? Probably. Average wages for skilled workers at that time were a few...
"Play down when buying, play up when selling" isn't limited to coin dealers, for what it's worth. I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with a...
I wouldn't go much higher than melt on a common-date quarter eagle that's flagged as a problem coin. In reality, that just means I almost never...
Yay! It made it! Now you can afford to refund @Garlicus the money he paid you back in 2017, for that silver that you never delivered.
I just really hope it doesn't go off while we're on the wrong side of the Sun...
No, you definitely had it right the first time. ;)
While the grown-ups were calling them "Carter quarters"?
Okay, you made me go look. Taking mintage figures from here, which is only current to 2016... I get a total of just over half a trillion Lincoln...
Okay, okay, there are some advantages to living in the greater NYC area. :rolleyes: As far as supernova observations, though, I think the...
^ --- don't try to sell it to this guy. :rolleyes: DO keep it. I've been searching change for decades, and I could probably still count the...
What in the world is that last one?
Yeah, all of the current coins are "commemoratives", excuse me, "commeratives"...
Looks like 1/200 ounce to me? Hey, $7.50 is $7.50... :)
Judging from the tape across the empty 1903-S and 1904-S slots, I wonder if someone's already picked over these. There's a lot more to study in...
Except get people to send you money for silver that you never deliver. When are you going to send the silver that @Garlicus paid you for over two...
I've seen plenty of Eisenhower dimes and even the occasional Franklin dime, but this is a first: 1945-p(silver),1946,1947,1948,1959 Mercury...
