Yes! Rip those OBW's open and see what you have. That's why they exist. However, don't get too excited. Most of the OBW rolls I open have...
Futile....see my comment about 1916. LOL
Yes. Also, seek Memorials with complete, well-struck cornices. The steps AND the cornice are two problem areas. On many coins the cornice will be...
1968 was the last year of using the 1916 master obverse hub. After 52 years it was a little worn out. LOL
There has been exactly ONE exception at HSN. The 2009 Lincoln program was actually a good deal and I bought in. I sold each of the 4 ANACS grading...
lolololol!!!
Thanks Dick, I actually got two in a row correct.....or I should say in agreement. LOL How come my number of guesses is stuck at 50? It's been...
Not sure but FS has never been a concern for collectors until I came along apparently. :D It definately should be! The Memorial cent has the...
Probably not going to slab it, I think 67 might be out with the obverse rim hits. The one by the date is deep. There's also a few light hits on...
Keep in mind, the 1968-S is the lowest mintage Memorial cent and it was widely hoarded. There's not a lot of them in circulation. I do a lot of...
Me likey....these are pretty crappy in general. It's another one with major league luster.
I agree....that's a KILLER coin bro! Those couple of hits don't bother me at all. I can tell that coin glows, it's a beauty. :thumb:
Thanks guys! Impossible for a 77 to have full steps. The master was worn. I've searched perhaps a thousand 77's and FS examples simply do not...
I looked though a TON of rolls to find this coin. I'm a nut about Memorial cents will full steps and this coin met my standards for quality and...
Indeed, I rarely see an MS one for sale.....I should say...VERY rarely. At the shows/shops I visit anyway.
Definatley. To quickly spot these, simply look at the 6. There's a radical difference between them on the small and large dates. One of the best...
Toning is the formation of silver sulfide, it is strongly bound to the surface and will not spread. On the other side, verdigris WILL spread....
It's always amazing when coins like this are found in change! Nice find!
62-63's aren't too expensive....if you can find them.
Whoa...NGC missed the mark IMO.
