It looks XF-45 to me, but I am a bit suspect of its authenticity. The reverse looks off. Can your uncle provide an accurate weight?
I like alternating between red ones and green ones. Puts me in the Christmas sprit.:)
Wow, that's quite a find.
I think you are rite Doug. A "big tires" competition, if you will, suggested by some well to do collectors.
My favorite coins are my favorites for many reasons. 1. 1943 XF-45 Mercury dime. Given to me by my grandmother when I was about five, it was...
I don't get registry sets either. I have a friend who spends tens of thousands a year submitting Roosevelt dimes to keep his number one ranking....
I would go with RAW pre 1933 gold (if you know how to grade) and store it safely in an air-tite. Amazingly, the prices are very similar to buying...
