I hear exactly the opposite complaint from most sellers.
"Commerative" "Shinny"
Yeah, me, too -- but I still haven't found one of those in a CoinStar reject slot. A bank teller did show me one, once, that a convenience store...
I've probably cemented my reputation at this point as "that old white guy who checks the CoinStar for loose change Every. Single. Time he comes to...
Yep -- with a current bullion value of over twenty CENTS. (But not as much as 25 cents.) Anyone care to venture a guess as to the premium over...
I assume a nickel with an Indian man on the obverse is still fair game, but a half with non-President Ben is still junk? ;)
I'm such a different collector from you, with such a different approach, that I'm not sure I'd even say we're in the same hobby. But I'm just as...
Or inherited. If we kicked off tomorrow, I guess our kids would be able to do the same thing -- but I hope we've raised them well enough that they...

Yeah, getting a contemporary counterfeit at any price approximating melt is probably a good deal. Just make sure to label it clearly in your...
Man, I wish I could see the steps on the walkway to our front door that easily!
Your (excellent as usual) close-ups make it look like the "patch" is acid-damaged, and since the pattern's uniform across the field and device, I...
If it is base metal, and if it came from a bargain bin of coins that were advertised as silver, I think I'd go back and speak to the dealer --...
Look at those reverse stars -- heck, all the stars -- and especially the blob on the star at 3:00. I don't think there's any "wear pattern" that...
I'd like to get some older German coinage someday, but I'd probably be looking for 18th-century, as that's when most of my ancestors apparently...
