Have to go with MS65…and I think I see doubling on the OWN/CROWN. This is a very nice coin…Spark
Back to the drawing board, Charles. Looks like your camera moved when you took the pic. Figure out how to stabilize it so your pics are clear....
Had set aside some wheat ears found 2 years ago, wheat ears from 1919-1958, about 200 coins. Going through them the past few weeks, finding a few...
@expat …I too have found abnormal bookmarks in books. A few have been currency. The best currency was a $20 bill, about 40 years ago. My...
For those that don’t know, the Montessori method encourages young children to develop natural interests and activities, rather than normal,...
Okay, I’ll use 3 Ds next time…Spark
@Wade Elliott ….go to error-ref.com, Part VI Striking Errors for more information about incused lettering and numerals. The site will set you...

@Kennyeva$$$ …you will soon complete your 3rd year as a member, so you should know, by now, to orient your pics properly so members can assess...
The Trident device in the 2nd pic makes me think Ukrainian…I’m not an expert in these older types and hope they are not replicas…pretty sure not...
I voted to keep it sealed, but the quandry you face is perpetuating a mystery if you do. Not opening does you no good unless you try to sell....
Not popped plating blisters, although the result is the same. All of the zinc rot areas correspond to split-plate doubling…imo… but, to be fair,...
The only place here in Central Arkansas that has notices posted that there is a coin shortage is WalMart. I think that is a ploy so they can...
@Spencercoles …many members here argue you don’t need more than a 10x jewelers loupe (magnification power = 10 times normal size) to see all....
