I agree. Mushy details--look at the stars. If the points are not sharp and the coin is not very worn, it's likely a fake.
Because there would be scrapes or marks of some kind where the metal was pushed from. It looks to me like there are no such marks.
@Collecting Nut How do you tell the difference between the proof reverse and the regular business strike reverse on these quarters from that era?
I have an MS-63 1922-P Peace dollar and while it has full mint luster, the strike isn't as strong as your coin. You have a nice coin and a nice...
If they are really old ones (50s or earlier), they may not be phosphor tagged and the cancelling machines will miss them. The US didn't phosphor...
PR 65 cameo. Lovely coin!
There were approximately 820 MILLION quarters minted in 1967. This coin is badly damaged. Not rare, not an error of any kind, and certainly not...
Back in August I sold some of my duplicate junk silver halves at a coin show, when silver was over $29 an ounce. I got about 19 times face for...
I think it's an error also. The lettering seems to have been stamped ON the error and not crushed by some kind of PMD. But what kind of error, I...
I used to be a stamp dealer, in fact, I still have some of my dealer stock. You guys are making me think about getting into it again. I'm near...
Just about everything the USPS has issued since World War 2 is worth face value or less. About the only ones worth saving are the high...
In the second coin, the top and bottom of the first 7 in the date line up with the 8 next to it. On the first coin, they don't. That 7 is...
The 7's on both coins are not the same...but I'm leaning toward the first one.
It seems to me that the quality control at the Mint is sorely lacking.
In my area many banks won't accept rolls that have been written on in any way.
:D Bismuth? I need some Pepto-Bismol.
Numismatic News and Coins Magazine are published by the same people. Coin World also has a US coins and currency price list.
1944 Cents have a D over S mint mark variety. In VF to XF condition, worth about a hundred bucks.
Perhaps because it's what newbies usually start with?
Don't compare it to a 1921 Morgan. All the original Morgan dies were destroyed in 1910. The Mint had to make new dies in 1921 by making them...
