I don't even think the coin looks that bad IMO. Better to leave the surfaces original.
Don't really have one. I like using a 1925 SLQ sometimes. Probably getting a nice Seated Half to use as one.
I feel like saving up money for the PNNA-Willamette show in my area in October.
I'd grade it Fine, dunno if the rim bumps are enough to details it.
Kinda like the St. Gaudens $20 in 1907, but with that they managed to make it easy to strike by flattening it enough.
Why this series lasted for two years is beyond me.

The best date out of all the Cu-Ni Indians and you didn't even need a metal detector. You found it through pure luck. Wow.
The first one is a nice serial #, but not weird enough to command a premium. The second one is too beat up to sell for any more than a dollar, but...
I never knew how thick these things were.
This kind of contradicts my last comment here, but I've heard there was a group who not only wanted the Treasury to stop minting the immoral coin,...
The damage happened outside the mint.

That nickel sure was a lucky case to have just the 99 and D visible.
I notice 1917 T1s are a bit more expensive and have a much higher mintage, but they are beautiful coins and easy to find. I'll consider them.
That a 12 year old can accomplish over the next 2-3 years. I've been thinking 1927-D up to AU. Rather affordable and one of three sub-million...
