There are some State Quarters and an ATB Quarter here - at least I THINK it's an ATB, but it's hard to tell from the photograph... And as for whether they are Denver or Philadelphia mints (or even San Francisco!) - I haven't a clue!

First of all, those coins are holed, so who would want them? And second, the asking price is probably at least 10X the coin value in silver, so I highly doubt that seller will get anyone interested.

Here is a fun one. Half blank planchet.

Can't tell what year this one was printed cause the face was never printed. Clearly a misprint witch only adds value.

It doesn't look uncirculated to me.

I'm sure I could achieve much the same effect with a buffing brush.

How about a very rare 1921 Peace dollar? It's so rare that the Mint punched the wrong last digit of the date in the obverse die...

okay I have two options for you...

1. It's a mechanical error on the coin just like the TPGs have on slab labels
2. it's a British thing" it was 1922 in London but it was still 1921 in Philadelphia?

Okay here's another one, scrap silver in my opinion.

That 1858-5 cent coin contains slightly over 1 gram of silver
so the scrap value is about 60 cents.
Much less than the starting bid.

2001 set with wrong dime.
It looks like a nice enough coin but if you're gonna piece together loose coins to make a year set you should make sure all the years match.

Somehow they came up with 1877..
Imagine that. If it were a Lincoln, it would have to be a 1909-S VDB for sure!
