Heed the warnings about the usage of Acetone as an extreamely flamable substance.

This is true! The stuff burns with out flame.

Now I think that on some coins, acetone wouldn't hurt, like on brown circulated mecury dimes, but I would never use it on a coin of any value. If the coin has any value take it to sombody else; such as a dealer or NCS.

Two grease struck quarters.

A cent planchet.

Male, 13 years old; can find mint errors like there's no tommrow.

State quarter with a cud.

NBC bank!

Two halfs, a 90% and a 40% silver.

Another good trade to add to bills tab.

I don't sell wheats, but I do hoard everyone I find.

Coin digest 2007 has the lowest price for a wheat as 10 cents. So if a dealer got it at 5 cents he could sell it at dobble what he payed for it. Not bad.

Yes. Many valuebal errors come from useing the still good last years dies. They change the date ( and or mm) but do a sloppy job. Thats why we have things like repunched mint marks ( RPM) and over date and mint marks. If you want to learn more about any mint error learn about the minting process.

The basic way to give a general error type is to use the P,D,S, system. It stands for Planchet, Die, and Strike. If it is a RPM or like coin it is cald a varity ( a die varity).

As you can see I like error coins.

I have found silver in cirulation. War nickels, dimes and 40% halfs.

I used to be the same way. Then I learned it is ok for me ( being 12) to carry a red book areund at shows. Then the cherry picken' begins. One dealer told me he went around from table to table when he was young.

Did we need to know that. Come to think of it I kind of did the same thing with copper cents.

Yes, its the missing mint mark. I have a weak mint mark. Worth a whole $35. Nothing compared to the missing mint mark.

The bottim one is a 1922 plain, a valuebal error.

But I don't know how it is formed. The weak dies may have something to do with it.

Mint dosen't, Treasury dose. What happened to the billions upon billons of silver coins?

Dime.

An error with only part of the rim.
