And that's what it's all about, isn't it? You like the coin, and that's what's important.
The OP's coin is definitely a business strike. The strike is weak, the rims are rounded, the fields are lustrous.... not a single thing about this...
Not in 1964, they didn't. SMS coins were made in 65, 66, and 67. There are a couple of extremely rare SMS test pieces from 64, but they are...
Completely normal circulated business strike nickel. Spend it.
If your goal is "quantity of metal" then I suppose that might be true. But at that point, you might as well be trading barrels of oil or bushels...
63+. I'd say 64 because the reverse is quite nice, but the thick toning appears to be hiding a lot of marks. This is not a look that I prefer, and...
The lines in the shield appear to have some wear. I see a couple of incredibly minor marks from circulation. Absolutely nothing unusual there.
There is no answer to your question. Unless you followed the coin from when it was created to today, you have no idea what happened to it. I...
You talking about the area around the 9's? That looks like a plating issue to me. Notice the diagonal streaks across the coin? The plating on...
Strike. Luster. Wear. Eye Appeal. Surface Preservation. If you understand these 5 basic building blocks, you will be able to grade any coin. In...
There is now a "Post your Dan Carr here and nowhere else" thread, and the anti-Carrs like me just don't go there. The rest of them can worship him...
I'll give this thread a few hours for the mods to shut it down. @ToughCOINS @chrisild @desertgem If they don't, I'll jump in.
That's actually a really good question. There is no time limit involved, because unless you've been tracking the coin since it was minted, you...
Are these usually weakly struck? The strike on this seems quite uneven. Not being terribly familiar with these, there seems to be some wear on...
Were these coins commonly found in bags? That's not the look I associate with bag toning (I'm more familiar with bag-toned Morgans), but these are...
This thread is going to go downhill really fast. Mods, you should probably just lock it now. Fair warning......
Is it fake? Or has it just been so harshly cleaned that it looks really weird? This seems to have been erasered, or something similarly atrocious....
I'm late, but I was going to guess: A: 64 B: 65+ The speckled obverse toning of the second one isn't terribly attractive, and knocked it out of...

The only people that care about the silver to gold ratio are marketers that want you to believe their hype and buy their product. The so-called...
