I was in the hardware store buying nuts and bolts the other day. I noticed that a 1/2" washer cost 30 cents and a 3/8" washer costs 20 cents. I propose we do away with coinage and use wahers as change. Round to the nearest dime and use 1/4", 3/8", & 1/2" washers as 10, 20, & 30 cent pieces. The...

I've had a 2000 Silver American Eagle in a safety flip inside an Intercept Shield box since I bought it five years ago. I hadn't looked at it in a while, and when I did last night I noticed it had begun toning. I laughed. Intercept Shield recommends that to prevent toning you use their...

I found this one with a metal detector back in March of 2005. The reverse is rotated about 22 degrees and as you can see the date is missing the 1 in 1866! Any ideas on the value? Also, any information on how this happened would be...

ok, I need to check whether this coin I saw today is actually from a 1 cent planchet or a really really dirty dime. There are hints of honest ta goodness copper on this coin, which is why I'm wondering . . . if I check the weight (regular dime would be 2.5 grams) and it is off, is that...

Saw an auction for a coin I want. Warning signs: 1. No picture. I emailed him for a picture, and he says he doesn't "do pictures" and to check his feedback -- 99.8% 2. No returns on slabbed coins. Run away, right? --

Went to Super Wal-mart today so wife could buy something that was on sale. 6 am. NO parking spots. the entire lot was full. Then, I went to best buy. the checkout line wound through the entire store. I stood in line 45 minutes to check out. The store opened at 6 am. We happened to drive by...

Just a note to say some of my farthing and British Colonial lots have less than 2 hrs remaining, with many still at the £0.01 start price. Some decent coins and difficult dates in amongst them. Feel free to have a...

Hi guys: I'm thinking about giving a gold sovereign as a wedding gift to some friends. Is there such a thing as a "coin gift card"? I'm thinking of something along the lines of those cards you use to give paper money that show the president's face through the oval. Is there an equivalent...

In another thread the other day, I mentioned that I had bid on and won this coin: http://tinyurl.com/dnjpx I haven't received it yet, though I've since noticed that the seller has other coins with what must surely be seen as "outrageous toning", such as this one: http://tinyurl.com/9rv58

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the "Q." stands for in his name? I am sure someone out there knows. Or is this the best kept secret in numismatics? Thank You..
