Cool find! At first I was going to ask how you knew it was from New Orleans since the mintmark was gone but apparently these don't have mintmarks...
My family took us to the BEP seven or so years ago and it was pretty cool. Believe it or not, they don't let you take pictures on the tour....
Yep! Young-ish Numismatists unite!! (Not sure what the age cutoff is to be considered a YN. Is it 18?)
Cool story! My favorite coins are the ones that have a memorable story attached to them (like my avatar picture coin). And while you probably...
C'mon, you know that those gold bar-shaped containers are worth at least $75 apiece! That's a screamin' deal if I ever saw one. :smuggrin:
MS66
I'll go VF30. Nice coin!
I'm looking forward to when the 1822 $5 gets auctioned. It has the potential to dethrone the SP66 1794 $1.
Are those Mohs values for silver and gold alloys or for pure silver and gold?
Most of my coins already saw tens of thousands of hands, so I'm not too concerned about one more pair touching them. :rolleyes: But I still only...
I don't know what's more impressive: that they assign a numerical grade to them or that they can secure them in the holder.
Nice find! While I can't give a confident opinion about what it grades without clear pictures of the obverse and reverse, judging from the first...
I love how they essentially gave a numerical grade to a nail. :D Cool error, uncool price.
Cool find! Cool username too. Mellencamp is from my dad's hometown.
I do sorta miss him because he was pretty entertaining. And the replies to him were pretty funny as well as people got more and more fed up. :p
I reported as well.
Very true indeed. Removing part of a 4 doesn't make a piece of metal magically get 30 years older.
Just as the title says, I'm thinking this used to be 1944-D. What do you guys/gals think?...
Just saying, if it isn't a zinc core cent, it's 95% copper and 5% zinc meaning it would be brass technically.
Probably the only way to make the color change infinitely slow would be to put the coin in a glass chamber filled with something like pure argon...
