Re: Someone please explain

Well, there's 3 guys who don't have their heads on straight. It's hard to believe that there's 3 bidders for a photograph!

Re: Error nickel believed to be rare 1952 please help!!! looking to find a value on something like this

These forums are really just FOR newbies to help them along. As I asked above, is your coin silver color or a brassy yellow/orange color and are you sure that it's a 1952?

Re: $10.00 Bank note

Here's a link to the Ebay notes that have actually "sold" in the last few months. Smaller town/city banks seem to go for more money that the larger cities: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1929+national+currency+10+dollar&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_sam...

Re: Error nickel believed to be rare 1952 please help!!! looking to find a value on something like this

I wouldn't call it "rare" by any means. It looks like the lower part of the Reverse shows that it was struck through grease or something from the photos. Can you show the Obverse to see if the coin was dished/bent, causing that part of the Reverse to be convex and just wore away sooner? I don't thin...

Re: $10.00 Bank note

As much as I hate to, I'll recommend a Wikipedia article on US National Currency that has a good write-up You can also go to Ebay and check out the 4-5,000 entries for the notes from various banks. I would suggest that you make sure that you specify the 1929 issues, since they were being produced fr...

Re: 1975 Canadian 1 Cent All Zinc?

Is it plated or washed with something, like maybe chrome? Have you tried to gently scratch the edge of the coin to see if it's solid?

Re: Coins from 1969 and earlier

You need to separate your coins, except the one and 5 cents into those 1919 and before, because those are .925 silver and those before 1968 are .800 silver. For coins from 1920 to 1967, each face dollar, of whatever denomination, has .600 troy ounces of silver. Just take the scrap silver price and m...
