Btw sir, in general, always take mintage figures with a grain of salt. They have VERY little to do with how many survived. Look at 1883 nickel...
An old time dealer named Ben Marlenee was a dealer in the 1940's. I asked him this question once. He said it was almost from day 1 that the 32 D...
You have to know many/most people look for "gotcha's" in the GTG threads. Plus, most of us do not have much experience with nickel three's, and...
Wow. Are you sure you want to break it out man?
Well, I would ask when was the last time you met someone collecting this series by date, especially lower level specimens. 99.99% of Americans do...
Interesting point. The new photos sure do show very sharp edges that a proof would have, as well as "questions" concerning the fields. I do agree...
I agree. XFR would only deal with surface. I would be satisfied if a smelter did a good SG and XFR on it. Gold or PT? I would want it drilled. Too...
I would be at AU58 based upon photos. I also suspect @ddddd is correct, but unless old cleaning would not see what the TPG might to say details....
I do wonder though. One of the bases of NCLT coins nowadays is how they are made from pure silver. That at least gives you a base to work off of...

I would not expect any gold. A jeweler of all people would know the value of gold and not mix any in with silver. Unless you wanted to hang onto...
The LIBERTY was recessed, and with heavier circulation the LIBERTY can still be clear but "weird" looking. I always called it "ghosting" when I...
Not Judaic. Looks more like something South Asian/SE Asian. Is it tin? That would point to Indonesia maybe. If it is tin, (light), I would search...
If my post will be over edited, I will simply delete it entirely.
I agree as well. The "ghosting" of the word Liberty on circulated coins happens and can sometimes look kind of strange. "Damage" is a moving...
Government backed, non-VA and non-Jumbo mortgages. I got lucky since mine was already locked and a VA loan.
They ended it because it was a pretty bad fake. Hopefully the seller was informed and did the right thing.
Yes, its pretty much assumed. That is why I said it was weird. Toning would explain it.
PF68 but its weird, being not full steps for a proof.
Possible. I have heard stories of some people stepping out of their car at a certain place every day and throw any pennies they got on the ground....
Separate names with a comma.
