Good plan. Good luck!!
OK, had a look at Coins and Canada. I think you have the 1953 SF Near. There were 4 varieties for the date, not 2 as I thought. Apparently, the...
Hi potty dollar - some quick pics. Looks like the shoulder strap could be the differentiator when unsure about the leaf position. Have a look -...
Hi Randy - the pane of glass reflects the light so it hits the specimen indirectly. This way it reduces the glare spots on the coin while...

I love catching LWCs in change. I received some older patina cents in change the other day and was sure I caught some. But LMCs were the trend...
Joe - if you get nice pictures and post them here, folks here can get you a very reasonable grade for your coin. Once you have that, you can see...
As Collecting Nut states, time and practice will make it easier. For Jefferson Nickels, I use Brian’s Variety Coins to look up DDOs and DDRs....

Looks to be -001. The ‘classic’ Red Book variety.
