Guilty. ;-) Of Unintentional Artificial Toning. One of the 1200 nickels I examined today was a 1957-D with copious (ahem!) organic matter clinging to it. So I popped it into a pot of boiling water as I did the dishes from our Post-Ivan barbeque.

Hi folks - I was wondering if any of you might know anything about this particular coin (token?), as I can't find a thing. Granted, I don't know a thing about coins, but Google couldn't get it. Got a lot of "right front, wrong back" type of leads, but eventually came up empty-handed. My scans,...

I might like to buy gold, as a hedge against inflation and a cash reserve. I have only a small interest in collectibles or investing for profit. In any case, I would like to know how I could easily sell the gold I buy for at least something near the market value, in a short period of time? I would...

That is strangly held within a braclet type of holder. It is incased in a thin medal ring that embraces the rim with tiny tabs holding...

Are banks a good source of coins for collecting? Do many of you go to a bank teller for rolls of coins, etc. to look thru for your collection? What kind of success do you have? What's your favorite source of new coins to search?

I just got an old sealed mint bag of lincoln cents. Sadly, no off centers or obvious errors (haven't checked for doubling). How can I tell if I have any 63, 64, 65, 66, etc? I've read this site ( http://www.coin-gallery.com/cggradingart.htm ), but a lot of the wording is subjective. What I...

OK, I'll guess that your Morroccan suspicion is correct. There is indeed a 3 falus piece from there that is crude and pretty common. There will be a date between 1280 and 1290 (Mohammedan era). This corresponds roughly to the Christian era dates 1863-1873. How am I doing? "jbgcjncg"...
