Just won a small little auction on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170010923993&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:12 Check the second coin. What do you think? I don't think it has a repunched date. That leaves... Daniel B. Wheeler

Got the coins today: 1943P and 1943D. Haven't taken pictures of them yet. Will wait until better light in the AM for that. Here's the odd thing I've noticed on both coins, which is not mentioned on the auction site: both appear to have doubled 3. I wouldn't say that either one has the 3/2...

I feel silly mentioning this but I thought it was a nice coincidence that the very next day after reading about the 1943 Steel Cents that I would find two of them in my dealers bargain box. I paid 10cents Australian each for them. I also bought two nice wheat cents 1957d and 1944s for the same...

how much do you think a 1944 english 3 pence coin is worth? I'm wondering if I spent too much on it.

I have a 1944 Lincoln head wheat penny in good condition with a peeling planchet. It looks like the "We Trust" part of the coin is peeling away. I've had this coin since I was a child and wondered if anyone could give me an estimate of it's value or direct me to a place where I can find the value...

I'm holding a coin. One side bears an inscription, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1944. The other side says: FILIPINAS TWENTY CENTAVOS. Is it worth anything in the US or in the Philippines?

Looking for information on the 1944D D/S penny. Recently I was looking at my wheat cent's and found that my 1947 S has a mound underneath the mint mark. The mound looks like the shape of a D mint mark but can find no information on this at all the research pages. Does anyone know of any diagnostic...

I known its says the mint never minted any proof lincolns in 1944. What would be the chance that that is a fib? I think I have one. Too shiney and mirror fields. Beat up abit since it was in circulation, and no it hasn't been polished, since it shines right up through the base of all lettering...

Cafeteria at the local hospital - bought my lunch, and heard that wonderful tinkling noise in the change. A 1944 (P) quarter, in VF, give or take. I haven't seen a silver quarter in circulation, I think, ever. And the funny thing was, my Washingtoon books I've just been building from "junk...

Thank you again everyone for your input today. It never ceases to amaze me how helpful you all are. I have been knocking around Usenet Groups since the mid 1990's and have yet to see a group as helpful and respectful to one another. Not to say that you all don't chew each other's heads off every...

Here's a digpic of the 1944s Mercury dime, with date appearing to be doubled for your enjoyment. Look at: http://community.webshots.com/album/548897089iecZRy Double-click the image for a larger image. Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com

Yeah, here I am again, guys. Today's 2 hours on the microscope looking over more Mercs yielded a surprise, one that I haven't found covered in any books: a 1944s with full date doubled. While the doubling is obvious under 50x, I'm not sure it's going to be obvious under 10x. Anyone else heard of...

Do you think any grading service would certify this as FB 1945 Mercury Dime? If not, how much do you think it's worth say in MS65? http://www.southslope.net/~paradimes/1945_FSB.JPG

I almost spent it this morning while poking through my change to pay for some candy and then I saw that 1945 date. Whoa hold on there says I. First warnickel I have found in change in many years. Hardly the find of the century but it was kind of nice.

I got a couple pennys in change from lunch today. When I looked at them, they were both wheat pennys in average circulated condition. Back at work, I looked at them with my loupe and discovered that the '46' was very lightly struck. A search on eBay revealed a coin that claim that filled dies...

What is the difference between the 1947 and the 1947 Maple Leaf? I looked at an auction for the 1947 "no maple leaf" type small cent, and it had the two leaves on the reverse. Ed '????'

Is there some reason why these *seem* to be harder to come by than other close dated years? When I say harder, I mean the selection on eBay,and dealers sites is less than other forties quarters. Looking at the mintages they look to be on par with the rest of the forties. The "S" is low,but...

Found a 1948 Roosevelt dime in my pocket yesterday. I got all excited. I know that it is not worth much, even with the price of silver. I just have not found a silver coin in circulation in years. Just seeing one makes me smile. Today, I rolled and turned in coins that had been accumulating...
