Which one of you is putting these silver dimes into circulation? That's two dimes found just this year. And this 1964 didn't even need...
Strange, this '48 I found in charge is older than the dime in my Mom's collection, which is older than the dime in HER Mom's collection. That's...
Thanks for the info, everybody.
Now that I zoomed in on it, maybe it's US. Doh!
Does anyone know what this says next to the year? Looks like IS, but I don't know enough to say. PS Always buy with cash, you never know what...
Thanks for that. And, wow, thats a lot of tin, no wonder it's a bit pale.
My camera screwed up the reverse side with the loon, making it a bit greenish. No two pics are the same with this phone. The portrait is a...
So... I bought a roll of 25 presidential dollar coins at the bank yesterday, and got a nearly mint Susan B Anthony (best I've ever seen), a couple...
Ok, thanks.

Tungsten die, and heat up the SS blank? I'm thinking inconel, and use heat on the SS blank. Inconel maintains it's strength at high temperatures...
With post-covid inflation, it looks like stainless is the only metal we can use to make a nickel cheaper than its melt value. It was 7.5 cents at...
Good point. Sport bikes have stainless brake rotors, tougher than nails. (Mild stainless, probably only 5% to 7% chromium.)
My favorite is only my favorite because it didn't have much corrosion despite being in circulation for thirty or forty years. In fact, the 1954...
Because copper turns brown then green, silver turns milky white then black, cupronickel turns a darker grey, and bronze/brass even turns weird...
#2 Woody Why are there scratches in these uncirculated coins? Why are the other two turning orange or gold? Why do I find old nickels that have...
I change my prediction on the nickel. I think it'll keep it's size, but be made of stainless steel. There are many versions of it, t's as cheap...
Big Brother and George Orwell would love this. We are already being cancelled at the whims of the government, colleges and corporations.
