Found this coin yesterday while CRH. I have never seen an error like this, does anyone know if there is a name for this specific error? Not too sure about value or significancy but error coins are really rare in switzerland. Anyone seen anything like this before?
So i returned back home from the US today and decided to take a few rolls back home. Well, my lugage was like 11kg too heavy so i had to pay 211$ for the heavier suitcase. Damn! ^^ Hopefully ill find something good atleast :)
Was looking through my change for the past 5 weeks on my road trip through the US and found like 4 or 5 of the new 2026 dimes. Went to a bank lately and now got a full roll of 2026-P's to take home with me ☺️
Found this cent where Lincoln seems to have a wart in his nose. Cannot take it off, so i guess its a small die chip or something? Any similar coins known?
Been opening rolls and rolls of quarters and looking through change the past 4 weeks on my america trip, never found a silver one. Last evening i was on my way to the washing room and wanted to pay with quarters. I saw there was a quarter stuck in the coin slot and when i pushed it in, it came back in the reject tray and to my surprise it was a 1957 silver one! 🥳 Its in rough condition and looks like it got some pmd but im very happy anyways :) What are the odds?
Edit: Seems its not a damaged coin but a so called lamination error from the mint!
So, keep in mind, if you wanna find silver, go washing your clothes 😉
1$ 20c for free + another silver dime from a coinstar during my vacation 🥳 Would love to find a silver quarter or nickel before returning home but lets see what the coming weeks may bring
Bought this frame in a coin shop during my USA journey lately, not familiar with stamps in general and even less with US ones. Guess those stamps are not of any value?
Thought you may like that one lol.
I recently visited a big coin shop where i wanted to buy some american coins to take home from my vacation. Found those in a big jar full of Wheaties, paid 4$ for all of them, 18$ for the Indian Heads and really like them. Searched a few rolls of customer wrapped pennies already but didnt had the luck to find one myself yet.
Visiting the US currently and grabbed 2 rolls of Pennies and a roll of Nickels, Dimes and Quarters each. Got really lucky and was able to pull this beautiful 1964 dime out of that single roll. Nice souvenir to keep and take home 😌
No silver found unfortunately but ill look for more when i see a bank the next time. Anything special i should look for beside the silver coins?
Also, i saw there are 1 or 2 different motifs for each state on the quarters and do plan on keeping one from each state. how many different ones are there? (including special ones) is there a list or something somewhere?
Always wanted some US coins. Paid $28 for the 3, did i do ok? Havent had the time to look up prices. The cent is pretty beat up but i liked it.
its just a dime but hey, im happy! is it 40% silver?
Would you? Got some $ bills because ill travel to the US soon.
So i got this pretty good fake swiss 1 francs at an auction lately. There was not a single word about the coin beeing a restrike/fake and they also didnt answer my mail i sent to let them know so that was pretty weird but whatever.
Might have overspent a little but i like the fact that i probably got a pretty unique piece in my collection now, since its a pretty low denomination which generally does not make it really worthwhile to fake and which you dont see often at all. Unfortunally i dont know what year this fake was actually faked, that would be interesting to know. The mint mark and Bovy ingraving gave it away.
I know you should not clean the surface of coins or even rub them with anything. but whats about the rim of the coin? i have a few of bu silver coins which seem to be out of the same roll and almost all of those got this green stuff on the rim which can easily be removed with my thumb nail. seems like the paper which they were rolled in decayed or got wet or something.
Probably gently clamp them togheter and clean the rim with a soft brush?
Got this beauty a few days ago and im wondering, if its worth getting it graded? Also, what grade would you give this one?
I dont know what causes copper-nickel coins to tone like that and if it was intentional or not but shes a beauty for sure ☺️ found this in a roll yesterday, its a swiss 10 Rappen piece
