I can't imagine this has much value, but it's a cool collector's piece. Dates from before 1968. Is this sort of thing common?
Ok, I ordered the magnifier thingee, and will post updated photos
Thank god! That means it's not just me! So how do people shoot? With fancy cameras? Hmm, I found this
Re: the disgustingness of photo #1, no, I didn't store these in a bale of hay. Everything's disgusting at this magnification!
I promised myself I wouldn't get any more sucked in to my dad's coin collection, but I noticed he'd sorted a bunch of 1946S pennies, and I made...
Steve, that's a great story, and I'm proud I was the one to persuade you to share it!
I'm really about at the end of my rope. I enjoyed it, but I'm definitely ready to move on. Shocked, though, at how easy the grading felt, when I...
More than one person has asked me about "opening a roll" as if it were a big deal, and I just remembered that some rolls need to be physically...
Just not quite 100% certain that the loose ones are the same as the unsorted rolled ones (I actually suspect that I'm the one who rolled the...

Thanks, Steve Postage wouldn't actually be so bad. You can fit an awful lot of coins into a medium-sized priority mail flat rate box that ships...
Thanks, Randy. Absolutely, the forum can't be responsible. And I trust collectors in a forum a lot more than the randomness of eBay....
Know what, ewomack? I kind of covet your shimmering steelie. I'd take it off your hands for $25 if it's still as brilliant as the photo seems to...

Woah. Those rolls of WWII steel pennies were like treasure in the 70s, but seem to have plummeted in value! Not sure why. I've posted a query here.
Woah, what the heck happened to WWII steel Lincoln cents? When I last checked, back in the 70s, they were worth a sizable premium. But now, at...
What's with the stamps?
Separate names with a comma.
