Re: $2 Devil Face Notes

I hope you hear from more than just me on this but IMO it’s just a matter of supply and demand. There are a great number of $20 on the market but the $2 was not as common a note in circulation therefore not as meany found there way into collector hands. I don’t know but also expect that not nearly a...

Re: 1960 10 cents debris error

Looks like a counter stamp to me. Will be interesting to hear what other thoughts are out there.

2002 $2 dot in H ?

I’m just wondering , was the dot in the H a design of the mint or was it just a die chip?
If it was the intent of the mint, what was the purpose and the story behind it.

Re: $20’s found

Hope you get more input than me but I don’t see anything that would make these notes worth of certifying .
Possibly if they had been 510 starting serial number but not 500.
Remember that when looking up values on eBay to look at sold values not what people are asking .

Re: Database & Rarity Question

One thing you have to keep in mind CarnieG is that if you turn in a coin that is to be remelted you will only get face value for the coin. Most silver coins that are sold among Dealers and collectors their value is based on the price of silver but it is illegal for anyone other then the Mint to melt...

Re: 1970 struck through wire!

I’ll be the first to tell you , in order for anyone to offer a grade on a coin you will have to have a full picture of both sides of the coin( obverse and reverse). No one and give you a grade on the pictures you have posted

Re: Queen Elizabeth Royal tours coins

I’m not sure but looks like a die crack to me. Want to hear from a expert but in my opinion all the coins a struck from the same dies and the colour is added after.

Re: Can you still find 1991 quarters in the wild

I thought they held a bit of a premium because of their mintage . I’ve been keeping my eye out for one in my coin roll hunting for years . In fact I picked up a 1991 proof set down in the US at a coin store a few years ago for $15 US dollars . Was a buy for the set I thought and it gave me a quarter...

Replica. 1935 $1000 bill

There is an auction site selling a 1935 Canadian $1000 bill that looks very real to me( but what do I know) if it is a replica it can’t be legally sold can it?

Can you still find 1991 quarters in the wild

Sorry for no photos as I have mentioned in the past I’m not good with computer stuff.
But I was coin roll hunting and had to look several times to believe my eyes but I have found a 1991 quarter for my collection. It is in poor condition but that fits right in with most of my coins. :D
