Regarding your 1883, it's hard to say what you have there. It could be that the photos don't do it justice, but like others, it appears to be a...
It can be both as our fellow enthusiasts state - [ATTACH]
Nickels.
This seems right to me. It's been a few years, but I think my average was 8 as well. I didn't really notice a drop over those years, but I...
Avoid the coin nightmare if you can. Many of us set aside an important coin only to roll it up...and take it to the bank.
I forget the total mintage of LWCs, but for all the LWCs minted, there are billions and billions more LMCs, 2009's, and LSCs minted. It creates...
PS - I found a 1938 S in AU condition too...but spotted. That may have been released because of the spots, but upon closer examination, it was a DDO.
Considering 2 of the 3 1950 D's were AU/BU condition, I consider that pure luck. Someone dumped a collection and didn't know what those coins...
LOL!!! They can't appreciate your successes like we can...but give them time. My wife always asks when we are going to be rich and I tell her...
In all likelihood, that first 1950 D was probably found by my brother (we were around 13 and 14 years old). I have a fleeting image of my brother...
That's the spirit!!! There is something very satisfying about a pure build of circulated Jeffersons. But if I was $50K into it like Furry...I...
Hang in there...it'll happen when you least expect it!!
Wow...I'm actually surprised to hear that. There are always nemesis coins when you CRH. Mine were the 1942 D and the 1944 S. Based on mintages,...
Nice DDR on that 2012. Pretty strong! Also, pay attention to the RPMs on the Wartime Nickels. There are a BUNCH of them, and many are...
Oldhoopster summed it up nicely. These are better pics and what really helps your fellow enthusiasts here are pictures that mimic the photos that...
We are all still learning...no end to it really...so welcome aboard. Learning is a lifelong endeavor. Hopefully you never lose that sense of...
Yes. The Obverse design changes slightly over the years. Have a look at ODV3 through ODV6...these will help you identify dateless 1920s Buffalo....
Not really. Earlier photos are better, but not crisp enough to confirm/reject. The placement relative to the known RPM suggests that your coin...
It's an interesting anomaly but I'll hazard a guess that it's a gouge of some kind. It may be part of an unremoved clash, but I don't see other...
@AustinJ0324 - I'm going to guess 1915...not sure on the MM.
