Re: Anyone know the mint that produced this silver round?

I started work at Coin World in 1973. Does that qualify as an old timer?

Possibly made from melted down U.S. junk silver, which was still available in quantity at a small premium over face value. The one ounce .999 silver bar and round market had not yet developed to the point that it dominated the market. Harry Forman and the Madison Mint accomplished that throughout the 1970’s.

Re: Help me date a well worn Lincoln cent

My first impression is that it is a 1915-S not a 1919-S.

Re: 2024 college football thread

I don’t think the committee did anything other than select the top 4 ranked conf champions in order. Then seeded them in order.

Then they took the next 8 at large straight from the rankings. They did the basic what they said they would generally do. I don’t think there’s any conspiracy here. If you don’t like the seeding you mean you don’t like the rankings.
