On the photo I showed, if the clad had been removed post strike, the details on the copper side would be mushy. But, if the coin was struck with...
It appears the coin was completely the dark color at one point. (Environmental damage as already pointed out.) And I think someone intentionally...
Not a small date. In the small date the curl of the 9 comes around more, the 7 is high, and LIBERTY is weakly struck. Also the point of the 9...
A wrong planchet error is going to be on a smaller coin. If the rims are complete and fully formed, it can't be a wrong planchet error. The...
101 dollar coins. Really fun one today. The foreign coin is 50 pesos from Chile 1981. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
In the other thread it appears the low relief satin finish is on a proof coin. Your coin is not a proof. Yours seems to be a circulated business...
When they produce billions of these zinc atrocities, there are some times during the year you are going to get a box of brand new cents. I had...
It's basically melt value. The most is $20. It looks too white, I think it was cleaned at some point. It's not a rare coin. Low relief means...
14 1/2 year old last post before today. I SMELL A NECRO THREAD RECORD.
The reverses are too blurry so I left them out. [ATTACH]
I think the scale is OK, if for example you use the center of it, and weigh other nickels as a control, and they all come out at 5.00. If that is...
Someone is scraping melted gold with a spackle knife.
Could be a thicker planchet. The steelies are supposed to weigh 2.7 If your scale is not accurate, wait to get a better one before worrying about it.
Yes. But for $12,000 you could have an outside agency produce such coins, tokens, medals for a fraction of that cost. $100 can probably get you...
Green is the one who bought all 5 1913 nickels and then sold them individually. If he was able to acquire all 5 at once the feeling is, it was...
Does not require grading, but that's a great one. Coins generally need to be worth $200 and up to make grading worthwhile. Still a terrific coin.
I'm not seeing it, but it is 40% silver.
I was going to guess $20-$30 but I don't know. And if FW says they go from $18-$25 then you have to accept that as the value. (To me) A coin...
I will guess: defective planchet, or damage.
There is evidence of cleaning. I am not going to say improperly or harshly cleaned. But there is the halo effect around most of the stars on the...
