It's a shield nickel. They do have similar designs.
Please post both sides. :D
I came across this display in a magic store in San Francisco. The coins were actually pretty large, maybe 4 - 5 inches in diameter. I was amazed...
That's fair and thank you. I probably should have added that it was being treated like junk by the LCS, as it was in a box with other very worn...
I found this Probus coin in the bargain bin at an LCS and paid somewhere between $10 - $20 for it, which I don't regret for a second. I probably...
Did anyone else receive a request to take an online survey from the Department of the Treasury? I received one in the mail and just completed the...

The sure sign that the coins above originated from Japan is the "日本" on each of them. This reads "Nihon" and is how Japan generally refers to...
To be honest, I'm at a stage of grading where I guess based roughly on other examples that I have seen. I need to get a more systematic way of...
The Nazis almost always tilted the Swastika so it stands on a point, unlike many other versions where it rests on a flat side. This image...
If you got them graded, I wonder if you would get the special "genuine broiled" designation?!!?!? :eek:
You need to learn to use the internet and a book together. I replaced a book form dictionary with the internet a while ago. Then you can do...
1988!?!?!? Wow... I also only have a Whitman folder photo shot to share... I'm pretty sure that these went into this book in 1988... and they're...
Unless one reads the equivalent of an entire book on the internet (which can cause headaches), the internet will never be able to match the depth...
