Jesse, get the books.
It was after all, either your coins or not your coins. I think the most fair thing would have let the bank have it if there was any possible way...
Of course it may, Love your avitar!!! A favorite saying down here is "if it ain't U.S. it's just a mess"! But I collect world coins I like...
In U.S. coins low mintage generally means or often means a great deal - in world coins is only sometimes can mean a great deal and it ain't often.
From the one straight on photo I could not say - it could be a hit from just that angle but if raised and rounded it could be a break.
Early on these kept fooling me often. I don't see anything to be a doubled die (on your coin) but I do see what I must of re-looked at a thousand...
The two doubled dies will not have much doubling on the first two numbers in date. If your coins doubling looks scooted, pushed or pulled, (mashed...
You can find them at .4 to 6 cents each just wait a bit and keep looking. You do not have to ever pay over .6 cents each unless a special mixture...

Thad, thad where are you??? Badthad please help me out here??? I could show you in 1 minute if possible. I would not say this and keep...
Fair enough and we have respect and a good converse. The bonus is others have seen a good "for and against" and probably some collateral tips as...
I don't use coin talk for the time of day but I never care what time it is anyway. I never wore a watch im my life.
My mistake on only the "P" mint. Had to go to the book. The book says all three mints had both large and small dates but only one proof.
Get in mint state - that's how most will be anyway and you'll pay more of premieum if AU. Retail Ms-63, 64 $40 to $60.
For me Coin World in "a must have". At $1 a week a person could never ask for a better bargin in coin knowledge. Up to date in what is going on -...
In 1974 all three mints had variations of large and small dates but no proofs. It's so minor as to be mute point in any relation to other large...
I'm not even going there - whether they are "better" or not is not the issue at all. What I said (I think) was I could tell the difference by...
