My latest PCGS adventure by
Mr. Jaggers
Last year about this time I submitted an 1864 three cent silver to PCGS for
grading as a circulation strike. It came back slabbed PR61. I am 100%
convinced it is a circulation strike made from dies which had previously
made proof coins.
I wanted it graded as a circulation strike, so I cracked...

Cent Melt by
dlhii
I did some searching to try and figure out if the government had a
cent melt in 1943. About all I was able to find was the current 'new'
law about melting. I found steel was used because of a copper shortage
but nothing about a possible melt.
Just something that was rattling around in my head.

Q's abuot selling U.S. silver by
Al Dykes
I have about 10 pounds of US silver coinage collected from circulation
when that was possible. I'd like to cash it in. With my luck, I don't
expect any of the coins are rare.
Compared to being sold by weight, how much of a collectible value over
face value does a coin have to be worth selling...

Happy Mothers Day by
Mr. Jaggers
This was posted on another coin group, and I do not know who the original
