Keep in mind that for Canadian cents, some are copper plated steel cents. If you visit the Coins and Canada site you'll see that for various...

I estimate a VF-25 grade; use this link to check for yourself - https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Washington/Grades As for value, sometimes...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts: an RPM with circulation damage. Check this link:...

Good move to use a dark backing on the picture taking (it helps quiet the camera's light sensor and allow it to focus in on the coin), but it's...
Your disappointment is probably proportionate to your expectations. As our fellow enthusiasts point out, the pickings are slimmer-and-slimmer as...
Photograde is your friend. A very nice tool to have especially on coins that are generally more subjective in the grading process (e.g., Buffalo...
That's a good game plan!! When I'm building a circulation set, I put the coins in 'loosely' so that when I find a better one, I can take it out...

Trot - have you gone to Coppercoins to look at the DDOs for this date? For each listing, they provide you with markers to match up your coin....
Probably doesn't matter. I believe that for each coin, you get 3 graders and they take an average of sorts. So 2 would have to slide in your...
I took a look at my nickel roll of 55's. Predominantly the washed out look but several crisp specimens. Comparing it to the ODV at Variety...
It's a fine specimen! I wondered if there were two masters used in that year or since it was the end of the ODV, the master/working dies were...
It's fine to ask questions. The community will do what they can to get you the answers you seek. Keep in mind that community members probably...
