Disregard this post. I had the wrong pic.
Woodies are not worth getting graded and slabbed unless they are high end coppers. Think Indian Cents.
1968-1974 S had buisness strikes in addition to proofs. Nickels suffered the same dilemma as cents during this period with filled or slightly...
Think I'm also seeing a poorman's double die there with doubling on the 5. I've seen most of these on 55's and 53's but imagine they could be on...
I'm jealous but in a nice way. Very nice and wish it were mine.
I would be interested in hearing what others do to clean up brass. I have about a dozen N.H. transit tokens that need it. Brasso is just too harsh.
@CoinAce Yes to over polished die. But I might add, if you are looking at Jefferson nickels or Washington quarters you will see a similar effect...
Nice close ups. No distortion. Agreed with above answers.

Etsey = $50,0000.000 starting price.
And you have to wonder how this will affect the future of electric cars.
Better placed here than in the erorr threads where more people can see it. FYI BULLETIN: I am pleased to announce that the Wexler Files for mint...
Yes to a die gouge. This is more about sloppy workmanship than it is about it being an error. They can be interesting though and I would keep them.
I'm not on Etsey but am on Listia and the same sort of thing happens there. But it's not worth it to contact members as in my case I got into a...
There has to be a market for problem coins. Steven Musil, who regularly has full page ads in Numismatic News, sells almost entirely problem coins....
