Willy, Outstanding improvement with your posted pics! Yes, 1970-S large date, about AU53, brown (BN). Some minor circulation damage but worth...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it... Magnetized iron filings can be used in science experiments. One such experiment puts a magnet...
It looks authentic, wear factor about AU55. Check the edges. You may already know...these planchets were cut out of zinc-plated steel sheets...
When posting, please provide a pic that shows a full size, both sides, preferably cropped to leave out unnecessary area. Then a close-up of the...
The dime is FV, you need to start a new thread for the 1943 steel. Spark
Mark and Cheech got you the low down on the abbreviations, I apologize, sometimes I use them when I shouldn't. Here is some more info: In the...
Newcoinboy2018...I was able to determine from your reverse that it is the normal one. Spark
Lots of miles on this one. Keep it to fill a hole until you can find a better one. Otherwise, spend it. With no close-ups it's hard to see any...
Just checked NumisMedia for FMV...MS62: 26BN$12.00, 26RB/$15.60, and 26RD/$20.40. Spark
63 at my first gaze, but then I figured the contact marks and rim dings and thought 62. Really nice coin. Saw no wear on the hair above the ear,...
I like the fact that you and I both agree that weak strikes from poor designs are not collectable...spendable, yes...collectable, not so much. Spark
Roy, your pics are completely blurry. I can't help you. Spark
ALL of these will never see circulation. However, the huge support for breast cancer research (BCR) means the coin has a decent chance for...
IMO because they are weak strikes, elements incomplete, malformed...an "incomplete" coin if you will, they have reduced value. The Mint trying to...
From Numismaster.com, under "News and Articles", is an article titled "Rotated Reverse Confuses Collectors". It is submitted by Alan Herbert from...
Yep, agree...15-20 degrees ccw. I'm not certain, but I read somewhere a while ago that a 10 degree rotation was within tolerance. I am not...
Willy, remember from your other post about this same coin?...that you needed a clean, clear close-up of the designers initials?...that you needed...
Reprocessed. This equates to "altered"' and therefore no numismatic value. Still, they continue to be sold for $1-3 as "novelty" coins. Spark
Get a usb microscope. I just bought a "Plugable", $37 free shipping from Amazon Prime. You can't post pictures with a loupe and your phone cam...
Well, this one is blurry too, but it is larger and I think you could say it definitely is a "Reverse of '89". I've checked all of my '88s but no...
