It appears to have been in a bezel at one time. That would be responsible for the rim damage. And the luster breaks would be caused by wear hence...
Two problems. 1. You are only showing one side. 2. You are holding them in your bare hand.
Doesn't appear to be abrasively cleaned. That would indicate to me that ICCS found evidence of the coin being dipped.
Be advised. There is someone currently making hobo nickels. He was at the ANA Summer Seminars in 2012 when I was there. Apparently doing a very...
Simple is good. Thanks.
Bump. Still looking for a response to my original questions.
Oops, I tried to edit the misspelling in the title but apparently that's not a option. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cancel this. I found out how to do it.
I've pretty much sold off all my Morgan dollars. Buffalo nickels will be next. To "up" my variety/grading awareness I'd like to get the best...
Ah ha!!! No wonder I couldn't figure it out; it doesn't stand for a particular issue. I guess it means such things as ASE's and other so-called...

I've already got my 1907 StG Double Eagle High Relief (Wire Rim). But not the grade that was posted in here. Mine's an AU-50. But that's good...
I had a quick chat with Charmy at the Balto Whitman show. I knew she had found an IHC die variety which Rick included in his guide. Turns out she...
Nope. Probably got separated when the coin changed hands. I believe I'm at least the third owner.
I don't check my pocket change. So, as of yet I don't think I've received an ATB quarter.
Yes, a better question. I need 9 coins from the 1790's to complete my NGC type set. Under my current financial conditions I feel 4 are achievable...
Actually I've never met him although I certainly know who he is. And I've got his IHC guide. In fact he didn't have a picture of one of the...
Ah ha! Thanks for the link. If I understood the site correctly it's basically Rick Snow's version of a "green bean". Works for me.
