Here is a nice one I got locally. I grabbed it because Fine and better Barber halves are rare in my area.
$60 BWR nickels - a 1923 Buffalo (Fine) and a handful of pre-60 Jeffersons
Actually, it looks like it was in some kind of holder that contained harsh chemicals which severely toned that portion of the outer clad layer....
XF details, but also harshly cleaned. But at $53 that's not a bad buy, but not a huge deal either.
Touching a circulated coin (xf or less, generally) isn't going to do any real damage. Now, au/unc+ coins then, yes, they should be held with...
I am partial to quarters. I have an affection for Washingtons and really love the Standing Liberty, plus from a bullion/collector standpoint I...
I've seen 85s in similar condition (AG-) for $400 and less, but I haven't actually never seen a 12-S in anything less than G-VG. Last year I sold...

Very nice set. They look to range from F-XF, but the kicker is the 1921, which is, after the 1916, the second key in the series. Yours appears...
I agree on errors. Though, I could be willing to consider an off-metal error like a dime on a cent planchet, etc. Those are intriguing.
My oldest (son - almost 5) has gotten into collecting "like my daddy". We went to a coin shop recently and bought a Lincoln folder (1941-1974), a...
I simply don't reply to those posters/threads. I shake my head and move on.
I'm about where you were when you stopped in your teens. My set is still just the coins I assembled by my late teens and I am now (at 34)...
