I was at my LCS, a diamond guy with marginal interest in coins, and he had a beautiful roll of BU morgans, MS63 or better, that he was about to...
Looks like a waxy die? Pretty cool how it's localized on only a portion of the cent. I've seen it to a lesser degree on many pennies, though...
That last part is what got me! Thanks very much for the advice, gxe
Nice, next book. gracias, chris
Ladies and gents, I've recently become enamored of a girl I met on craigslist, but I'm not a copper guy, whaddyathink? I looked at my book and she...
Basically kills it, unfortunately. Polished is much worse than just cleaned, methinks. If it was an "uncirculated" coin, it'll be AU details at...
In your defense, you did say "around 8", which technically includes 9. Rich, that's a beautiful Bugs Bunny in your sig. I just got my first...
I would love to see a thread with examples of the different types of doubling; mechanical, deteriorated etc vs true doubled dies. As a newb, I've...
SMS were struck pretty big, like proofs, perhaps it's one?
Found this in my 49th roll today;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If anything, someone hit a grey coin with copper colored paint; look at "Liberty". No way grey painted, would have to be the other way around....

Hello, ladies and gents, I present to you a quarter I've wanted to take a better look at for months. It's still in its plastic, so pics will show,...
Too bad they're not worth much, I haven't found any yet coin roll hunting and always check. Thrill of the chase still on;)
Yuck, why would anyone put that in a set, even if it were real? I think the fact that the gentleman has watched this coin tone over 40 years,...
Well, guess the photos don't inspire... definitely having second thoughts about the 56', but didn't pay very much for my first decent Franklin...
True she has more eye appeal than a lot of Blast Whites I've seen, prolly AU53 or so. She actually resembles coins from a century earlier...
I will gladly bail you out of this dilemma for the aforementioned 70$ price tag;) That is a ridiculous value to place on a coin like that; what...
Yikes, my nightmare. You got out of it with a very nice coin, I'd call it reasonable.
