oh ok so the vast majority of legal tender coins are widely available, therefore, not really that rare. Whereas, a lot of the older coins from the...
15 million does sound like a lot in general, but over a quarter billion is a lot more. If mintage is in the 10+ million, then does relative...
The lowest mintage war nickel is the 1943 D at 15.24 million, while the highest is the 1943 P at 271.165 million. Yet, there is virtually little...
Or how about a 1942 P or D small MM nickel on a silver planchet?
It seems that for transition years, there are a lot of mistakes where the wrong die or planchet are used. For example, a 1959 Lincoln Memorial...
It's always in the one the bank never gives me. :( Literally, they never give me the Brink ones anymore. I have better luck with those (ones...
Ten thousand nickels this week, I must be losing my mind.... one of these has got to be an error!
Probably. I'll set it aside.
Here's a 1940 nickel with what looks like a D sticking out on the right edge of the building, instead of above the right edge where you'd...
I forget to mention, I also use a cheat sheet for dates and mintage, except I have it up on the computer monitor. "Key" dates for nickels I...
Thought this was interesting to share... Supposedly, they made coins out of this cast metal, and it was second only to gold back in the day. Myths...
Usually the plating blisters I see, unlike on this 1983 penny, are small and circular, and a lot of them have already burst open. But this one...
Yeah by year the '64 D is by far the most I find due to its mintage. I'm sure I'll find more varieties.
On the enclosed inside of the rightmost D, the left part looks "hazy" with more of a curved shape instead of a straight line (might be the right...
Here is an example of another I found on a nickel: [ATTACH]
I know that there is at least one '64 D RPM documented (e.g. WRPM-001), but this one looks very different and very pronounced. Just PMD? Any...
1 Box of Nickels - 4 silvers (PR!): '43 S, '44 S, '44 P, '45 D - No foreign (PR!) - Some miscellaneous errors and low mintage dates
My photography skills are a work in progress - it'll be better next time :).
Mine looks quite a bit different from this (except maybe matching just the upper left part in isolation), but here's an example of a 1980 with a...
Good point lol, I didn't know what to call that. It's definitely more of a "tear" and nowhere near a blob.
Separate names with a comma.
