I've been buying affordable raw cents on ebay for fun, and try to make sure that I know what I'm buying before I get it. The problem that I've...
My first reaction was "What's wrong with the 'W' on the obverse?" Nice finds btw... My great grandfather (father's mother's father) left his...
Looks real to me... I don't see any visible evidence of counterfeiting. The date looks spot on to what I would expect, and the coin appears to...
I'd say cents as well. I've searched maybe 1000 rolls and the earliest I've found was a 1910, but there are definitely more early dates out...
Bafflez gets the win on that one... For every 1 negative vote a seller gets, there were at least 5 others who thought about it and didn't because...
That 'W' still bugs me today. For the first two years of collecting every time I saw a mercury dime I'd think it was a West Point until I...
If they are uncirculated I might look for something a little better, but a big batch of wheaties would take some real humidity problems to develop...
Yes, the first major obverse design change occurred on the 1969 cent when his bust was made slightly smaller and detail was changed a bit. I...
The 2010 Lincoln cents are starting to leak out in a few places, with the official release ceremony scheduled for Feb. 11th. I have located at...
As far as typos and things, sometimes the best coin auctions are the ones where the seller doesn't even know what they have. I've pulled a couple...
For loupes it really depends on what you like. The real high powered ones can be tough to use because they make the coin appear very dark, and...
I live in central CT and I have found LP1-3 of the cents and one 09 dime (I haven't searched too many rolls other than nickels and pennies this...
I've heard of people making these kind of machines in their basement. Couldn't tell you how exactly, but I bet if I sat down for a few hours and...
Thanks for the advice, I figured it was MD. This forum has already helped me learn so much about die doubling in only a couple days... thanks...
Found this in a roll a couple weeks back. Was my first real die offset so I got excited. Its not pristine, some slight browning on it, around an...
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to collecting and found this in a roll today. Wondering if its worth anything... it has some significant doubling...
If you ask me, there should be a better grading scale than the one-dimensional 1-70 that we use today. Coinage should be graded in two, three, or...
Yes! it would be so nice if our money were actually worth what we pay for it. Its a shame the fluctuating metal markets make it impossible, if...
I think the emphasis was on "America the Beautiful" and covering the beautiful monuments/parks etc. in the 50 states, not internationally. Think...
Thanks for the responses. Seems to be the consensus that albums are just no good for proof coins. What baffles me is it seems to be hard to find...
