By the time you get to the store it will be devalued all over again. :)
I love dark coins, or 'desert' patination. However, I've seen plenty of desert patinas that appear to be applied afterward to 'improve' the appeal...
I would say an AU-55 or AU-58, which I find preferable to anything below MS63. However, I don't collect these quarters. Never have.
Wonderful piece of history or a sad reminder of economic turmoil? I say it is both. Thanks for sharing. A lot of people collect these, but I've...
Sorry, just looks like a damaged rim to me.
Nicadate is the only solution that will help. Maybe try taking a rubbing with paper and a soft-lead pencil. Unlikely to get anything but would...
It's not a liquid! Its a great many pieces of solid matter that form a hard floor like surface!
I see lines on the left coin that seem to change direction, not radiate from the center as one would expect with flow lines. I also believe that...
I am not a drinker either, too young :) The microscope can be useful, but I would say use a loupe first. 5x is good, but 10x may be useful if you...
Sorry, not this time. The doubling is very flat, especially on the date and mintmark, indicating that this is die deterioration or Machine...
And by the way... I keep all of the red 1960s and 1970s cents I find in change. They don't come up often, so these are definite keepers.
@Laurie B - Spark has given you great advice. I hadn't ever seen a doubled die except in photos until 2021, when my Pappy (RIP) let me check some...
Good eye, Paddy. As we have come to expect from you. I noticed the RPD, I always look for those, but I would have missed the wing tip. And thank...
Get that in a case, @Santinidollar !!!!! That being said, very nice. I personally don't like the Charles portraiture though :rolleyes:
Hi GMark and welcome. The 1921 Morgan silver dollar is a very common coin in all conditions. Yours appears to be uncirculated, but because so...
Hi Sherrill, If I recall, Vest Pocket Coin in Brunswick has closed. Although I may be wrong. Based on what you are saying, the coin sounds like...
Paddyman98 said it best. Still a definite keeper, at least for me as I live on the East Coast and very few S cents seem to show up here. Keep...
By the way - on the 1964, if you are asking about right of the 'heads' side, that appears to be from a coin roll crimper. On the zinc cents (some...
Keep at it, Laurie. No one wakes up and is immediately an expert. Keep asking questions and trying your best, even if it feels hard sometimes.
I wouldn't say 66, because I generally refuse to give out grades above 65. So, I call it MS65 RD. It looks very nice.
