Re: POLL: FEDEX
I've been un-happy finding a fed-ex package sitting out on my porch, but I do prefer that to having to go pick it up. I've also been ripped off by my fed-ex guy - but not on a delivery. He came to the door bringing me some coins I was excitedly waiting on and wanted to talk about a palm in my front yard. It was about 5'… -
Re: A challenge for the hotshot numismatists: What is this thing?
One further bit of evidence to support the die theory is that the shield lines are hand engraved. This would have been a blank area on a hub. But this was already done on the working reverse die used in 1823. Also, a hardened hub would not have broken apart in small portions (as seen in part of the motto) whereas an old… -
Re: 2008 P Monroe $1.......Detached/Severed Head Variety
I just received a roll of Monroe Philly dollars and about half of them have this severed head strike, which fall into two distinct types. One type has the severed neckline with no difference in the finish, but the other type has literally flat prooflike mirrored fields in the neckline area. On the second type, the mirrors… -
Re: Most underrated lincoln cent variety?
<< <i> << <i>The US Mint had no intention of minting these coins. Blunders they are and errors they remain. >> What about die breaks, RPMs and OMMs? Where do they fall in your list of Varieties/Errors? You have a point but at the same time, your definition is one that would completely turn the VAM world as well as all of… -
Very interesting article in the JR E-Newsletter about early copper finds to be auctioned by Stack's
Did anyone else see this article in the John Reich E-Newsletter, written by Jim Matthews? I have been busy and I have not had a chance to read it until just now (I also have not read this week's E-Sylum, which is killing me). I quickly got absorbed in this story, and I can't wait to see the Stack's catalog and the full… -

Re: Show and Tell time....
An interesting story about the Columbian Exposition. (mostly taken from PrairieGhosts.com) H.H. Holmes was a doctor who sidelined as one of the nations most prolific sereal killers in history. He not only tortured and killed people, he made money off insurance schemes and selling the skeletons of those he killed to medical… -
Re: What do you think prompts the sale of what should be a cherished memento??
In terms of the OP's question as to why an organization, as opposed to an individual or family member, might dispose of "cherished mementos", I can think of numerous reasons. * Lack of storage space. If the organization owns its own meeting rooms, well and good, they've probably got space - but if they're using borrowed… -
Interesting Lincoln Dates/Mints where MS65 is the highest grade that exists (no 66's or higher)
It's interesting to me how some Lincoln date/mint combos are so rare in high grades. I was always fascinated by Lincoln dates/mints that have no pcgs 66’s or higher in any color class (BN, RB, or RD). There are only 4 Lincoln dates/mints that fall in that “No Known 66 or higher” category (in pcgs plastic) in the entire… -
2008 SAE errors-just an opinion!!!
OK, my turn for the conspiracy theory........ Since 1999, when the state quarter started, there has been at least 1 "error" found in every new series to come out. First, some perfectly formed extra leaves accidently made their way onto the Wisc. quarter, and some actually fell off!! (must have been made in the fall). What…
