Even still, here in Northern Maine we never get S mint coins, so it seems that it is the same nowadays. I get my S mints through circulation...
I'd say 100 percent if you lived in San Francisco in the ol' days. Also 100 percent if you buy rolls of circulation strike coins from the mint...
I would buy it at $10 for sure.
Santiago, Chile as noted above. The mintmark is an S with a halo, still the same one used today.
I would guess it was in a salty area. I've found nickels and quarters with this color patination on the coast of Maine
That baby must have come from a detectorist!
Only two hours? I'm the type to stick around and chat as much as possible, even at the tiny shows I go to :)
Yes, exactly. Not dissing the commemorative collectors, but I agree, buying direct from the mint is a losing proposition. The aftermarket is best...
Simply, yes. Market isn't there for moderns unless they stand out, like the 2021 Morgan and peace dollars. Too much risk associated with buying...
Solid condition, no problems (as many have), and a nice look. Very cool!
That is impressive. Good catch!
Glad you're back, you were missed and I await your private auction
Very lovely... I find it hard to believe this wasn't intentional!!
Very lovely color, a shockingly beautiful coin. Only 600 produced in this last year of issue.
I agree - it isn't that John Albanese doesn't understand toning, it's just that CAC does not get as excited over color as much as the collector...
