I wonder what happened to the coins. "Operation Washtub Cache" on a slab would get a premium I think.
Once everything is rounded to 5c, they're mostly useless. Canada had a plan. Merchants and consumers were instructed to return them to banks,...
Those prices! 59c for a pound of coffee caught my eye.
I'm thinking pump and run started immediately after attendants stopped pumping your gas and self-service began. Self-service? That means help...
I can't tell anything from these photos, and I'm not sure what toning has to do with it. Unless people think PCGS gave it 64 because they loved...
Yes I see that Stack's is also 20% with $25 minimum. I guess I think HA is high because they used to be 15 or 18% (can't remember). You also have...
I agree that they were probably just polished/buffed/whizzed to death to make them shiny for the display. They're common well-circulated coins so...
Yes 20% is high and their minimum for cheaper coins is $19 whereas GC is $5 and 12.5%. You just have to bid accordingly.
If treasury/admin went out and begged people to turn in their cents because they're desperately needed for circulation, won't that only make them...
Ah, so the clash gets clashed back to the originating die. How bizarre. Here's an 1892 10c. The clash of wheat below Liberty's chin is fairly...
There are no mint records of coinage by hub type. The best we can do is estimate based on surveying auction archives. John Reynolds did this for...
Sure. For 1901-O, the rare one is the Obverse type 1. As I mentioned earlier, all of the better grade/imaged examples I have seen also have a...
It has to be the 1982-D small date bronze (3.1g) to actually be "worth anything." Only two have ever been found and no one is ever going to find...
What's a counter clash? Both sides? I just bought this one a couple weeks ago, posted a whole thread about it. Beaver's paw is inside George's...
On the contrary I think it would cause those same people to hang onto them tighter. They will be worth big money soon if Treasury wants them that bad!
Taking it up a notch!
It might be a little less common, but it is still common. If you look at the PCGS price guide, in MS63RD the 1982 small date zinc is $3 and the...
If you can find one for sale!
And for fun, here are my collages. The 5 circulation broken B I was able to find. [ATTACH] And the 7 broken B proofs I could find. [ATTACH]
I think I kind of get what you're saying now, but I don't think there was any separate design that could have been doubled. The "regular B" didn't...
Separate names with a comma.
