In this case, CC probably stands for China Counterfeit. It can always be used in a belt buckle. Please post more about these coins when you...
The grade is PCGS MS65 PCGS liked it enough to let it slide into a MS65 holder. IMO it is an MS64.8 so MS65 is appropriate. It is very...
I also bought this bright white example at FUN. Yes, I know I am a sick puppy when it comes to buying 12-S nickels. There are actually a few...
