I've seen those before also. Never really care for the way they were mounted the coins tended to fall out.
They should have gotten rid of the cent back in 1982. However, people are still using them but, normally I only see them going in one direction....
I ran into a problem with my prior post. The attached picture is what I meant to post. My 1909 25 pfennig pattern.[ATTACH]
Here is an interesting German pattern 25 pfennig.
I agree with your opinion on adjustment marks. As far as the 1794 dollar at MS 66. Your right not many of us could every think of owning it so...
Yes there is a guy that does fantastic work. A friend has sent in a 1795 half dime with a hole to be repair. The person has a 6 month backlog so...
I see a lot of people here are complaining about the "costs" (fees). What most people don't understand is the cost of doing business. An auction...

The only type of cleaning I would ever do to a copper alloy coin is a soak in distilled water just to loosen dirt off the coin. Leaving dirt on a...
Very possible. Buffalo nickels can be tough to grade. I think Dave Bowers made a comment on grading the 1913 proofs with matt finish. He said...
That's true but the PCGS and NGC do the same thing. However, this doesn't happen often.
I agree it's John's choice but, his choice is the wrong choice. I wouldn't worry about putting money in his pocket or loss of potential profits....
Yep that's very nice.
The picture seems to show the coin has a satin finish look. Based on the picture I would say cleaned high AU. The reverse has an unnatural look....
