This proves it, war nickels are the best! Great story, if it takes, tell him to join Cointalk next time. I think everyone should post a 43-S war...
I think some people in this thread might benefit from my thread on recognizing full steps on Jefferson Nickels. The FS (Full Step) Designation...
That sounds like correct guidance to me. The damage from dropping a coin is far worse than a possible fingerprint.
You gotta start teaching me about Franklin Half Dollars, my brother and I are starting a collection, and I’m kinda winging it
I think it should get MS64+ and it will be more liquid in NGC plastic. I will have trouble getting MS64 money for it in the ICG holder.
Do you concur with SteveinTampa’s valuation? And how would I title this if I wanted to sell it on E-Bay? FRN 1934 $10 Silver Certificate Star...

Wait, did you crack that out of a problem holder and resubmit it to ANACS to get it straight graded? C'mon man! Photography tip: use two lamps...
I will admit that this one wasn't a fair fight. For whatever reason, this coin which has solid 5 steps under a 5X loupe refuses to display those...
This coin is tough. The obverse is MS65 all day long with very nice luster, smooth surfaces, clean focal areas, and nice subtle toning. The...

You can see those marks through the toning, and no way is that coin ever an MS62. I understand the exercise you guys are completing but the...

No, that is the Reverse of 40, this one is my 1939-D Reverse of 38. [IMG]
