Speaking of good coin clubs: Every good LCC needs people to volunteer to do jobs and step up. I just decided the help man the club table at this...
Cool. Sounds like you have a good LCC.
If pre-federal and colonial coins interest you, then you can gain a lot of knowledge and many like-minded friends by joining the Colonial Coin...
@l.cutler, please get your kids or grandkids to help you so we can see your collection. Last Wednesday night at my Local Coin Club meeting, a...
@differential , I suggest you consult the better auction records (Heritage, Stacks, etc.) for photograding comparisons in order to determine the...
This looks a lot like the Maris 23-P, an R-4 coin. Below is a 23-P sold in a big collection by Stacks-Bowers in 2019. Compare and I think you'll...
I have one just like it. A 1908-S raw that's about the same grade. Nothing wrong with it at all like this and a lot that's right.
Thanks for everyone's interest! I learned a good bit and got a new on-line reference. My day is good!
Paddy, what reference are you using? I don't have anything on Jefferson nickels.
Interesting that both your coins have the exact same bisecting die crack, whereas mine is a different crack. That means that at least two...

Great report on the show and your experiences. I really appreciate when our members take the time and trouble to report on these events. I also...
Thanks for sharing. Nice details.
Great coin and very nice for the grade.
Browsing some Heritage auctions today and there's a 1794 dollar coming up in a couple of weeks. Already north of $60k in mid-grade.
Nice example. Weak spike but evident "thread" marks. Great late die state crack on the reverse. Another plain eye die crack from rim to 0...
For those not familiar with the series, the B5 is the same as the BB-27. The "B" designation is for Milferd H. Bolender who in 1950 updated the...
Yes, this is a dollar, not a half dollar. I assume the OP is contemplating buying this coin so my comments are addressed primarily around that...
Ah, I see now. The OP never owned this coin and was using us to determine if he should buy it while misleading us to believe that he needed...
I think it should go back to NGC becaue: IF it's PVC, then they originally slabbed it straight-graded and missed it. I would think the OP has...
