Interesting that both your coins have the exact same bisecting die crack, whereas mine is a different crack. That means that at least two...
So I've been educating myself on war nickels while looking for a nice example for the type set. I had set the target as MS-67 or PF-67 if they...
Great report on the show and your experiences. I really appreciate when our members take the time and trouble to report on these events. I also...
Thanks for sharing. Nice details.
Great coin and very nice for the grade.
Browsing some Heritage auctions today and there's a 1794 dollar coming up in a couple of weeks. Already north of $60k in mid-grade.
Nice example. Weak spike but evident "thread" marks. Great late die state crack on the reverse. Another plain eye die crack from rim to 0...

We still dont know if the "green stuff" was on the coin when it was slabbed or developed post-slabbing. Was it there when @MIGuy bought the coin?...
64 edging into 65
65. Super looking coin. Might go to 66.
More information, please. It's slabbed by NGC. Did it straight-grade? Your OP implies it did. Did it look this way when it was slabbed or did...
Thanks. Informative answers.
Since you said "comparison" I assume that the mushy coin in the top photo is the counterfeit and the sharper coin in the lower photo is the...
That was interesting AND educational, two things that don't always coincide. Thanks.
I've never done what you're proposing. I don't see using traditional machine tools for the upsetting function. It would be extremely awkward to...
Separate names with a comma.
