I'm not a big fan of this type of color on nickels but the quality of the coin itself is awesome. Super sharp details and virtually mark free,...
Very unique toning pattern I must say. How did the rest of the set tone?
If you have already posted a picture of it on CT, would you post it again here for those of us who are newer members?
So true, and if one gets addicted to anything there is no better addiction to have than coin collecting.
I use Photograde with The Official ANA Grading Standards. I've used those for many years and they have worked quite well for me.
Thanks for the additional insights, I had not thought of it that way. I have only recently begun to send coins in for grading.
RLM takes great pictures of his cents, I only wish I could take such quality photographs of each of my coins consistently. One thing I have...
The back of the coin appears to have the same discoloration and it is a 2000-D nickel. Quality control of the alloy mixes are much better now then...

I just ordered this Liberty Seated quarter, an 1842 large date in a PCGS AU-50 holder. This date has a mintage of 88,000 and I love the toning on...
Bowers in his Official Red Book of Type Coins he says in the Standing Liberty quarter series to look at the inner shield and the outer rivets of...
First of all silver eagles dated 1991 and before could not have been made from silver recovered from the WTC site. The Mint did not strike silver...
The weak strike was taken into consideration when they graded this coin. MS-62 is about as high as could be expected since the grading services...
My understanding as to why no mint marks were used from 1965-67 was that the San Francisco Mint coins were not intended to be struck in high...
