My own unoffical results from calling people in one small part of the state: Bush 16% Kerry 32% Undecided 52% I wonder if some of the undecided are simply people who don't want to say. But so far every night I've done the phone bank either Kerry or Undecided has won with very few Bush...

I used to use an old Visioneer scanner, then got this HP PSC 1210, which is extremely good at scanning documents and images, it can go up to 9600 dpi. The problem is when I try scanning a coin. The image comes out extremely blocky. With the old scanner (which was at least 5 years old), it...

Setting up the registers with change for Saturday, the first cent roll from the bank reveals an unusual, pleasant surprise. Without disturbing the pile of cents in the cent compartment, I ask my supervisor to have a look at what I found. He walks over, looks down at the wreath on the cent reverse...

I saw the ad in the paper for a FREE Wisc state quarter in a hard plastic capsule. Simply print your name and address on a piece of paper along with 3 loose first class stamps and put into an envelope. Some people have suggested that this is a hook. What hook? They could possibly make a small...

Hi, does any one have a 1916 D mercury dime up for sale? Rudy

I have an unopened package from the us mint. It is probably a proof set or a mint set or an uncirculated set. I do not want to open it to maintain higher value. Can I identify the contents from the package labeling? There is a PID # and a WAV # Thanks

I bought a couple of supergrade Kennedy's on ebay. Philadelphia mint. The first one is a MS-67 that was so frosty that it glowed A couple months later I won a MS-68 that was sharply struck with just a whisper of contact. Trouble is, I can't tell what the criteria is that makes one coin a grade...

Take a look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3930640556&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWA:IT Even if you generously grade this coin AU, price guides list it at around $140. Is there something I'm missing?

First day of retail, seems more active this year than last. Would have guessed maybe a 50% increase over last year as far as retail customers. Once again, I've spent more money than I took in, but have bought quite a bit of nice inventory. Only did two shows in July & August, so it is kind of an...

Last week at the library among the references I found were two that mentioned counterfeit coins in an interesting way. In his 1879 paper for the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia titled "On the Falsifications of Ancient Coins," S.K. Harzfeld writes, "It is indeed true that there...

I was going to post this in a different thread, but I thought it would go off on a tangent, so I decided to start a new one. :-) With the American Bison nickel reverse coming in early 2005 I see the potential for some really great Urban Legends. U.S. MINT TO RECALL 2005 AMERICAN BISON...

At last night's meeting of the Rockford Area Coin Club, it was reported that the coin show scheduled for Sunday is again sold out. For those dealers who have not gotten a table yet, you are out of luck. There will be special trinkets given out to the first 400 people who come through the door. I...
