oops, my bad. Although it's not true that I didn't post a coin in between, as I did (an 1862 trime), but I completely forgot that I had posted...
That's wonderful!
So, to clarify what you are saying, could you show the coin in a TPG holder? Or at least give us some of the grading info - is it graded or...
I don't understand. Could you explain please? (note, the tread is post and explain, thanks) Is the coin counterfeit and slabbed twice by TPG's...
Good pics of that lamination!
Coin arrived from Italy! Excellent piece, just as in the pics. Yay!

question about the 1950-D. Where is the D - under the corrosion (or dirt)? I don't know nickels very well so I wouldn't know where to look anyway.
huh! false stamped date? And off center too. Stamping machine went wild. Interesting error. I should pay more attention to my pennies! Hah!...
To keep this going a little bit - and because this is an interesting coin that I only discovered was a quasi rarity until well after I bought it...
I can't take credit for that. Those are the seller's pics. Yeah, they are really good. Hopefully they send the coin in the pictures! Stellar...
