Looking for some help with my diagnostic skills. I believe I have a large date. On the small date, the top of the "8" would not touch the red...
The diagnostic for JR-4 is the "1 placed high". This is a low grade coin but appears to meet the diagnostic to my eye. [ATTACH]
I got it! The dime section is cool, I'm glad I spent the extra money. I'll be posting some dime questions to the experts as a result. I recommend...
A very cool piece of American industrial and numismatic history that I had never heard before. Thanks for posting!
Cool, a platypus!

It looks like a well-circulated, probably cleaned, 1925 Buffalo nickel to me.
I'll play ... AU-55 straight grade
Welcome to the site! I would suggest starting a new thread and include some pictures to get the best feedback on your nickel. This is a thread...
It's ugly, even for AG-3, but I don't see any damage.
That's a neat piece of history.
I suspect copper memorial cents have become what wheat cents were when I was young. An obsolete curiosity that still circulates but will disappear...
