First of all, Philatelic Sales at the USPS provides an easy source of getting
*any* current US postage stamps at low cost in mint condition. This includes
official mail stamps, fractional postage, precancels, etc. You can get any
plate position and they are very accomodating.

Unless you are going for a special postmark or a first day cover, you probably
don't want the stamp cancelled anyway. As I recall, mint condition and
uncancelled is the best value.

If you want to be added to the Philatelic Sales Mailing List, drop me your
address. I'll send it in to the USPS next time I place an order.

Well, dimes (and quarters and halves) were 90% silver through the date 1964.
They would be worth three to four times their face value as silver.  However,
there are _no_ 1958-S or 1964-S coins.  They would either have no mintmark
(found on the reverse or tails side just left of the torch) for Philadelphia
or a D for Denver.

Hi,
	The other day I recieved a mis coined dime when I purchased a  
Happy meal for my kid at McDonalds.  The coin is dime size without the  
dime "coined" inside the planned diameter.  The coining operation (heads &  
tails) occures only on 1/4 of the coin causing another radius to protrude  
from the original diameter with the heads & tails on it.  I have never  
seen a mis coined coin in my entire life.  There is no date on the coin  
but it's brand new, just came out of a dime roll.

What do I have, does the coin have any real value?  Or is it just an  
excellent topic of conversation?
Please email me directly, no need to discuss this on the net.

How long have you had them?  Scott won't start listing, in the catalog, the individual states of the CIS until the 1994 edition.  The latest Scotts Monthly Stamp Journal
has a number of the CIS's listed.  Can't remember if Turkistan is one of them
or not.

Asterisks or stars are used by many countries to indicate that the note is
a "replacement" note.

Mints maintain high standards of quality for the currency they make, and
inspect all of the notes they produce very carefully.  When one is found
to be substandard, it is removed from it's batch and destroyed.  The
batches of notes from which error notes have been removed are rounded out
with replacement notes.
