Looks like a scratch on the '49 nickel, but if that's a circulation find, it's a fun one. Not terribly valuable, of course, but finding the old...
I agree with the "struck through grease" assessment. Not really worth any premium, probably, but fun.
I tend to agree with you on the "bling" factor. Since they're affordable and attractive, why not mess with 'em? Go for it, I say.
Animals, huh? Here's a 1913 Type 2 Buffalo nickel being found in Brunswick, Georgia's Hanover Square, during one of my long-ago detector outings....
I'd say it squeaks by as F12. Details, anyway. The surfaces look pretty nice overall, aside from that one cratered area at the top right of the...
Yes, quite lovely indeed.
Yep. It's a "parking lot penny". Roadkill, in other words. (Actually, the damage in this case looks to be more a result of corrosion than road...
Where are we, 1769? No can do, but I can do 1768. But if that's a bit premature, continue with 1769 for a while. [IMG]
Wow. All those amazing coins ... and bodybuilder abs, too. It's almost easy to hate you. ;) Here's a medieval approximation of what my abs...

NGC gets my ancients. PCGS gets most everything else. I like the PCGS TrueView imaging.
That's Kaiser Bill, Senior (the First), so I reckon it counts. Sweet Vicky shilling, there!
Hmm. Looking at that edge, that does look like a proof! Interesting! Not worth much, but fun find. Congrats!
That's no easy challenge, with 1,032 coins required to complete the PCGS Registry set!
Yeah, it got a bit chewed up. The "8" took a hit, that's all.
I prefer the luster of the second one.
I think you mean worn, not "warn". Here is a comparison of the edges of a proof coin and a business strike coin (in this case, Lincoln cents)....
It's a lion. In a rather mythical pose, to be sure (since lions are not usually known to walk around on their hind legs, wearing crowns and...
Congrats! A Buffalo! Fun find. Nice to find a silver War nickel, too. The PCGS Price Guide is for coins graded by PCGS. Your chances of...
