Ive got these nickels dimes quarters pennies u name it Kennedys too with these crazy flow fines not sure if doubled die or machine doubling will be posting pics soon...also I swear I have found two new varieties one on a 2016 D penny and a 2016 penny while I was searching threw $25.00 box of pennies will take pics and be right back ..have found info on these yet anywhere ...don't know who to contact even if they are ..I live in small town no coin shows no pawn shops no jewerls who know about coins I'm going nuts just trying to find som

Yeah, it's like a dictionary. If you don't like the definition in one, you can always find another dictionary that suits your criteria.

Wow thanx for advice really appreciate it all ..and YES I did find CRH can u believe it ?! Crazy right? Found some proof quarters too CRH love it!!

 

You shouldn't concern yourself with the price guides in any of these books. They're not accurate. The best sources to use for pricing would be Heritage auctions or for lower value coins, eBay prices realized.

OK so I figured out how to do full image pics yeah lol..alright onto nickels I know this isn't FS but there are a few lol..would this be worth getting graded ? I heard nickels from mid 60's early 70's where hard to find in good condition let Alone with FS again no FS here but still in good condition what do u guys think?... I know now to take out of holder but already took these pics before was told that advice few comments up lol so what do u all think?

 

"Good condition" is highly relative. That's referring to very high mint state grades. FS is another matter... some dates in the 60s are truly rare with FS.

 

So would it be worth getting graded?

 

Nah. Same story as with the wheaties. Cool circulation find, but not worth enough to cover grading fees and such.

 

OK thanx so much ..what about this ? I heard this called "snow on the roof" its prolly the most extreme example I've seen! There is a little on the top right window as well.. Would this be considered an error? Ive been told its a die crack or cud is that right? people collect these right?

 

What are some non common dates to look for in the wheats?

 

Hey its me again ..can anyone tell me what these lines are? Almost like a second rim

 

Here is another one..

 

To look for today? I seriously doubt there are any left out there to look for. Get yourself a Red Book. You will quickly learn the rare ones.

 

I have a red book thanx I will look ..just thought u might knew some off top of ur head since u knew mine was a common date lol...I was told finding rare coins was like finding a winning lottery ticket and u know what I did find a winning lottery that had been thrown away obviously someone faulted in that deal and i gained so I'm am hopeful to do the same in my journey with my coins ..good luck to all ..happy searching!!!

 

I am not sure of your definition of "rare", but I would guess the keys would be like winning the lottery 5 times in the same day. For instance, I believe the last time they found a 1943 copper cent was 1955. Unless you are doing varieties/errors, all the keys are prior to 1932. I do not even remember the last time I found anything that early and the last true unusual Lincoln would be about 1965.

 

Omg just wrote a whole big response and tried to post but wasnt logged in and it said would only be partially posted till I logged in well I logged in and can't find it anywhere?? How can I find it anybody know?

 

If you remember a specific phrase that you used in the post, go to the "Search" box at the top, right of the page and enter it there along with your username and any other pertinent info.

It may look like it is in good condition to you, but every little nick & ding can reduce the grade. Nicks & dings in the prime focal areas have a greater affect on the grade than those in secondary areas. More weight is given to the overall condition of the obverse than the reverse. A clean reverse is less likely to increase an overall grade, but a reverse with obvious nicks & dings will almost certainly reduce the overall grade.

Are you starting to catch my drift about acquiring a basic understanding of the grading process? And, it can vary a bit for every denomination and type of coin! That is why it is also a good idea to post separate threads for each coin. That way, you can attract more responses from people who are familiar with one coin type but not another. It will also make it easier for you to refer back to any thread about a particular coin.

It's sort of like throwing all of your coins into a 5-gallon bucket. How quickly can you find that 1968-D nickel?

It's a die break, not a cud. There are some collectors who like to give their error coins catchy names to attract buyers (bidiots!) Big deal!

Die breaks are very common, and unless it happens to be a major break across the face of a coin, it is likely of little value.

A cud is a little rarer than an ordinary break. It is the type of break that originates along the rim of a coin and extends into the field. NOTE: There are some people who disagree with this definition. Some collectors refer to one "error guru" while others (like me!) prefer to cite another.
