I agree with that but for some reason Anacs calls anything that is not strictly business strike (MS) a DCAM (this applies for Proofs, SMS, and EU).

This isn't anything spectacular, but it was in the junk silver pile and I couldn't let it go to be melted. I got it for melt price and was glad to give it a new home.

 

How much was it if you don't mind? Not what you told your better half.

 

Yeah. I dont get that either. Silver is still being mined, but these gems from history can't be recreated. I don't understand melting constitutional mintages down. When they are gone, and forever never more.

 

Ha! I didn't tell her I was even there, lol. It was just about $6.50. If you look at the obverse side, there's slight doubling. Most prevalent in "In God We Trust".

 

That's at least an AU-58, definitely not what you typically find out of earlier dates in "junk" coins. This is a great pickup out of junk silver, so here are some tips: in this condition, take home any date in the 30s, and 1949's as well. 1949 is a better date in high grades, and depending on the dealer, you could run into some money.

 

This one was in there, too. I know it's a later year, but, again, just too nice to leave it (at least to me).

 

Nothing wrong with that, even with later dates. With BU later dates in junk silver, you have a considerable chance of finding gems (65-66) or better. On a 1960s quarter, a Franklin or a 1964 Kennedy, that's some decent money.

 

I have decent pile of 1964 Kennedys in BU condition. I really need to go through them a pick the wheat from the chaff. I did put them in cardboard flips a couple of years ago. I hate those holders but better than nothing I guess.

 

Just under the limit at $48, 1943-S Jefferson Nickel ANACS (Soap Bar) MS66 5FS

 

Wow, those are some heavy die polishing lines!

 

Yeah, that one coming off the bottom of the 3 makes it look teasingly like a 1943/2. Wrong mint, though.

 

You beat me to it. When it comes to nickels, I'm a village idiot. I'd be afraid to buy that ungraded, would be scared to death it would get details. I love silver nickels.

 

$48

1855/854 WB-1 in AG3. WB-1 has the most pronounced overdate of the three DMs.

 

$2 - in DC Beltway coin show junk box.

 

What denomination is that? That is pretty cool!

 

WHAT?!!?

 

What the heck is that and what year is that?

 

Without an indication of size I can't tell what denomination it is, but there is no denomination with that reverse that I wouldn't pay multiples of $2 for, regardless of what had been done to the obverse.

 

I bought 10 1945-D BU War Nickels for $5 each, total $50, ignore the prices written on the 2x2. The first 4 turned out to be RPM-002 and there are 4 gems.















I made my money back after selling only 3 coins, the rest is gravy, and number 2 is going to NGC for grading & attribution.
