Got one last year at a gas station. I could hear silver in the store clerks hands before he handed me my change. It was a good day!
It looks to me like an 1858. The O in "OF" has a different shape. On the 1856, it looks more like a square than an oval on the inside. Its...
The mintmark looks mushy to me. The letters dont look as sharp as they should. I agree with others questioning the authenticity. If its a...
Grade....and value (not price)
Jay, I looked at a few indents online and I believe this is a minor indent. Some of the pics I saw on google looked pretty darn similar on...
Possibly a lamination error before the coin was struck. The detail in the letters seem to strong to have been struck through. Hard to...
Got this back in change today. Looks like a second strike off center or something similar? Is this an error or just damage? Thanks, [ATTACH]
This coin looks to be lightly circulated. I would personally grade it AU53/AU55. The high points are the cheek, hair curl, ear, and ribbon on...
Very true....my guess is a very small fraction of people would even know what this coin is and how it came to be. Just about all coin collectors...
Yep! Its got the rim....Here are some pics. Again, its been well circulated, which is the most surprising aspect of this find.....no one pulled...
This is a first for me. It appears to be a copper planchet (pre-82). Went to mail an ebay sale, and got a nice gift returned to me in my change....
Maybe it was plated and mounted in jewelry? Dont really know what happened to it, but it looks like post-mint damage to me.
Its not hard to upload a file.....see the button below. I highly doubt many folks on the board are going to send you an email to see pics....they...
Sorry, but no. There are no known DDs for 1888. Keep looking though!
The pictures are not great, I will post more when I get the coin......but it looks to be a spectacular toner. In MS64RB with a photoseal by Rick...
Au55, traces of wear on all the high points.
Errors are tough, because each one is unique in its own way. As for varieties, no one has mentioned the 1873 Doubled liberty Indian head cent...
Looks like 1999 to me. Need better pics of the date area.
I would guess you are pretty accurate. Most low grade, common date IHCs will have retail of about a buck a piece.
$20. A very, very good deal.
