Ummmm, I don't see that. Must have something to do with the way I sign in.
I bought a DETAILS coin (graffiti) because: -- it's a scarce variety, and -- an original one would cost a lot.
It's not a Cent. It's a nickel and is dated 1912 (I think). The "V" on the reverse is the Roman numeral for "5".
There's 3 major varieties for the 1864 LHC's. -- Copper-Nickel -- Bronze/No "L" -- Bronze/With "L" The "With 'L' " is the best but you'll...

Don't forget the Hunt brothers in 1980 (or was it 1981). Silver skyed (~$50/oz) then SERIOUSLY crashed. I believe there was also a lesser event...
For my birthyear set (1941) I'm looking at the Krause listings of Peru 1 centavo coins. There are 3 varieties: -- KM# 208.2 (straight CENTAVO;...
If you do, cross your fingers. Irma is about to visit. Actually I would expect NGC to have ample protection on site. Or would have already moved...

Looks like it's going to be at least AU. Hopefully the surfaces are original.
I went 3-4 years ago. I generally graded low because I found I was technical grading. I got better as the week went by. I closed the gap but still...
I see a LOT of hairlines on the obverse in front of the face and on the neck. To me it's definitely a DETAILS coin. If that's correct then a grade...
Thanks for the responses. I'll forget about them and stop at an ATM once I cross the border. I'm headed for the Air Force Museum in Trenton, ON....
I'm headed up to Canada for a quick trip. Somewhere lying around I have some QEII $1 bills. 1. Are they still spendable in Canada? 2. If so, do...
Thanks, all. Pretty much as I thought. So I still don't understand why sellers are asking so much for them. As far as I can tell they want MORE...
I have the impression that the market for Early Commemoratives has been in decline for the last several years. But I am finding seller asking...
Nice die crack.
Isn't that "dot" in the shield a center point?
