I have many favorites, but this one is just plain beautiful. [ATTACH]
Patience, not there yet.
VF-20 and it was made about a half-mile from my house making it really cool.
The tarnishing may be what collectors call toning and may add a premium. But yes, it is normal, please don't clean them.
I wouldn't pay much more than melt for circulated examples. The silver content is worth $1.61 today.
Nickels, my favorite denomination... The first is this well struck 1877 Shield nickel. With a deep cameo, this blast white example comes from a...
Here is my 1878 CC that PCGS called a MS-64PL. Sorry, I don't have a reverse image, but it is really as clean as the obverse. I have always...

I would not recommend zip lock bags as they contain PVC and will cause damage to your coins over time.
I don't know how much of a coin nerd you are, but the red book is filled with plenty of great information. I reread it about once a year, but I...
It's the famous "knit sweater Jefferson". The story goes that Jeffersons momma made him a sweater for Christmas, but Jefferson didn't like the...
It would really depend on your purpose for knowing the value. If you are planning to sell some coins individually on ebay, than completed...
Welcome to CT Ed. I agree with Chris (like usual), but I would add that you can put the coins in a Dansco if you want, just insert them from...
What's to debate, I think that it is properly graded. We all know that the cheek is the main focal point, and if it is clean, it will get a MS-65...

Separate names with a comma.
