Is the blue toning on this caused by the slab? I have seen several old ANA slabs with coins that had similar blue toning. Thanks, Charlie
The government knows about the 1974 aluminum cent, but I don't think they care about confiscating it. The only coin they seem to want to...
The Greysheet has it at $65.00 in VF and $110.00 in XF. I agree that it looks like it has been cleaned. Charlie
Conder101 collects the different slab types, and even wrote a book about them. Charlie
Someone who collects the different slab types might give you more for it since that is not a common slab type. Charlie
I buy Mint items from coin dealers. It saves me the the hassle of ordering them from the mint. Charlie
I took a nickel with a cud to a coin dealer once and asked him how much it was worth. He told me so spend it. :eek: Charlie
I saw about 50 Chinese coins that looked similar to that one at a flea market about a month ago. They were $5 each. The guy selling them said...
Off color Jefferson nickels are not uncommon. The natural discoloration is caused by an incorrect alloy mix containing too much copper. Charlie
Indian cents don't have reeded edges. Maybe you are refering to dentils? That is a nice error 2coins. Charlie
Welcome to the forum. It might be another aluminum cent, although I think they were all dated 1974. Charlie
Back when I was searching rolls of coins, I found a Lincoln Memorial cent that was about 3-5% off center. I sold it for $2. :( Charlie
I would say between 10-20% off center. That is a nice coin. Charlie
Thanks for clearing that up Roy. I always thought they were the same. :o Charlie
Did you send it in on an economy submission or the five-day service? :confused: Charlie
That is a nice RPM. It sounds like you found some good rolls to search. :) Charlie
I looked at the one in my type set and it looks similar to yours. I think it has something to do with the steel planchets being struck with steel...
If it was plated, it would weigh more than a normal cent. Charlie
Mint marks have been known to be high, low, to the left, to the right, and tilted. Charlie
It should be worth between $80-$100. A raw one with a deep gouge sold on ebay for $81.00 recently. Charlie
