Could anyone please explain how to distinguish the the various 1982 pennies? I am using the H.E. Harris collection folder, which explains that the composition changed from 95% copper & 5% zinc to 97.5% zinc & 2.5% & copper. Then there are 7 slots, 4 for the Philadelphia mint and 3 for the Denver...

Here's another one. I've got a 1/4 Skilling from Sweden with the phrase "CONTORS POLLET". No idea what it translates to. If you know, thanks. ******************************** Curtis Hoffmann Three Steps Over the Edge http://home.austin.rr.com/tsote/index.html

I am interested in Coins minted in Judea, esp. Bar Kochba Revolt (It'd be really cool to get a set of prutot from all 4 years) But I don't know A) What fair prices would be and B) What sources I could find on the subject. I would be interested to know if there are any books about either Bar Kochba...

Well, about a month ago I asked the question, is the ANA Baltimore convention appropriate for me to take my six year old son, Michael? I can answer that with a resounding yes! We both had a blast. We got there about 9:15 AM Friday. We had 45 minutes to kill before we could enter the bourse. So...

Pull out those 1961 uncirculated mint sets and any unc rolls of 1961 Jeffs, Philadelphia mint, and look for the special one. Look for full steps. PCGS price guide shows a 1961 FS in MS63 at.....$1,500. Unlikely that you would get that much ( I don't know the Jeff market at all), but with...

Hi everybody! I've been left some old coins for a while ago (300-400 pcs) and I thought - because I'm not a collector - to give them away/to sell them for a reasonable price. The oldest coins are from the 1890's (3 pcs), some are from the 1920's and most of them are from the 1920-60's. The coins...

I recall seeing some time ago a discussion of a computer program that one can use for creating a transparent overlay of a coin design for the purposes of superimposing it over another coin. This would be useful for identifying faint clash marks, overstrikes, double denomination errors, and other...
