I was referring to the 5 Liberty plus 3 Buffalo patterns. The case the 5 Liberties were originally in had 8 holes and at least two of the holes...
The argument that US Customs could monetize a coin seems pretty lame. I suppose it was murky enough and they were getting half the money, so good...
I will be more considerate to plumbers in my posts from now on.
It was cut short by the Kennedy assassination. Otherwise it still would have been phased into clad and we'd probably be getting Franklin half...
Odd, I was rolling up my change jar today and ran across this eerily similar one. Kind of interesting how the metal got folded over and smoothed...
Maybe it is one.
"Only 4 left" on the 1913 cracks me up. If people are that stupid, then so be it I guess. It is an image of the actual coin, bought by GC in 2022...
Garbage disposal or lawn mower perhaps.
I've had these stacked on my desk for upwards of three years. I wonder at what point I'll just spend them. I think they're all cool designs...
I have never seen "experimental anti-tarnishing agent" on a slab before. Weird! How is that a "mint error"? Seems like it was deliberate, not an...
You might be thinking of one of these things worn on a belt; I remember them too. Seems like every carnival worker had one. Same kind of thing,...

It's undoubtedly a spooned coin or a dryer coin. Pics would confirm.
This just arrived yesterday after a long vacation in Denver. VG8 isn't that worn but it's been around the block a few times. It's special as an...
Yes, I believe technically it is mail fraud. You would have to prove that they knowingly sold you a counterfeit though. According to USPS: "Any...
I also noticed all the small gold nuggets and error coins. If I "won" either of those, I'd be like, what am I going to do with this? There's a lot...
I think it's more likely to get Details - Rim Damage or Cleaned. That spot on the reverse is probably pretty flat on the edge. Seems like a good...
Check the seller location and feedback. Look at Heritage sold prices for Details coins. I see an XF Details Scratched sold this month for $480 and...
Thanks for going into detail about all that. The quoted part is the confusing part for me. Before w***6 started bidding, 9***j would be shown as...
Separate names with a comma.
