Interesting - the two I had did not look anything like that. And doesn't someone on here have a website for the various holders and years. Will...
Congrats on the early christmas present. It is a beauty and so was that 1868.
And you are right that Au58 coin is nicer than the 61. Loved it.
Not sure how often toad visits here anymore, but you can try him over at the new coin chat forum. Don't have a link for it right now.
Ummm...A mislabeled coin? I see a 1868 coin, but a 1864 label. Still the coin and label are nice.:)
I believe with airtites you can use a capital holder album and just slide the airtites into it. I have not tried it yet, but maybe one day.
Well - I am a firm believer that if you are happy with the lot then that is all that counts. While I might not bid on it(or a lot of coins) I...
Did you actually blow up those two coins - I would take the 61 over that 55. The gouges on the cheek were such a turn off to me, where as on the...
There is always that possibility, just depends on the coin. Peronally I don't like the term AU64, but I do understand the concept and can not...
Without seeing an example it is hard to say. Some of the light golden toning on the buff nickels with the frosty devices can be very nice. When...
Yes - I have a dansco album I am using - so far with out issues. The better ones stay in airtites and some will eventually be graded. I keep them...
Yep the reverse has led a rough life, but if you are happy then I am glad. And the obverse does have some really nice details, too bad about the...
I agree and have refrained from posting. I think the top coin probably has cabinet or friction rub on the high points. Which tpgs will let slide....
xf details on both and agree with Paul. The second looks oily like something was used to darken it. The first coin I am not sure what was done to...
No expert on these, but I agree they look real. Curious as to the weight of these? And how cat someone identify if these are fake.
I think you did just fine. Enjoy and have fun with them - plus another whole roll of buffalo nickels.
Easy - the history of the coin. No big collection to get passed down to me. While the high grade coins are the nicest to imagine on how they were...
Well find a "Coin World" tell him about one of the articles that mentions some good investment buys. Then let him read it - when he is done, then...
Wellll...when you get to be 97 you might be a little green around the gills also. I am suprised they didn't say toned. :)
About like me - I put some of 2009 pennies in my harris albums and need a few more quarters. That will be about it for the more modern stuff. Do...
