I have just started spending the Dollar and Half Dollar coins that I hoarded in early March before the lock down. $200 in $1 and $100 in 50c. It's...
I'd have to reveal that S dated Buffalo right away. Could be the 13S type 2, the only 1 I'm missing acid treated (I bought them 25 cents each...
I just happened to be on. Doesn't happen very often. Roll searching is like fishing. Fishermen never give up the hot spot of the season. Roll...
I see one possible silver Mexican Peso. The Greek coins are common. I do like those old coin wrappers. I saved a few for history.
Last summer I bought some dateless from a dealer for 25 cents each. After acid treatment on the mintmark area, I found a type 1 D & S! For 25...
