Since the green stuff is NOT foreign matter on the coin but the results of the coin reacting with the environment, they weren't going to remove it.
US Army, but between conflicts. Joined Mar 61; discharged Mar 64. Just beginning to hear about Nam when I got out.
I've got a 1952 and 1953 proof sets each graded in one of those NGC 5-coin slabs. I'd show a pic but I'm still having a terrible time imaging...
Does PCGS list them? And what are they selling for on eBay? (Don't get this mixed up with what the asking price is. If they didn't sell, then you...
Just soooooooo nice.
A few suggestions to consider: 1. A high grade birth year set (how high depends upon what year you were born) 2. Fill in some of the gaps in the...
The half dollar is a useless coin for commerce and has been since the '60s. I know of only two places that use them: - casinos (and even there...
Part of it is that beginning American collectors start with Lincoln Cents and the go up from there. Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, etc. Then...
The short answers are: 1. Yes (but several are expensive even in the low grades). 2. Find? Not anymore and probably not since 1950. Purchase? Yes,...
Thank you all for the kudos. So far the ones I have are the less expensive dates/varieties. 1928/13 stars 1932 1933 1934 1935 I'll ignore the...
I agree. Just a well worn coin.
Received this goodie today. It's the fifth member of my slowly growing collection of Classic Head half cents. I'm trying to complete a XF/AU set....
I see it as G. Letters still separate from the rim.
Well above average strike on that nickel 3-cent coin. From your image it looks like the "III" is fully struck. Hard to find them that way.
The key (besides being cotton) is lint-free. Also check with camera stores. Handling film also requires the same type glove.
Such a thing probably doesn't exist. Jefferson nickels just don't get the interest that other issues (Lincolns, IHC's, etc.) get. They are not...
Die breaks are fairly common on coins from the 19th century. I believe that is mostly because die were so expensive to make. The Mint tried to get...
Even an "average" strike on a nickel 3-cent is better than that. It's really quite weak. And I think I spotted a few bagmarks.
I agree. Maybe even a point better.
Since I don't know what the weather will be like, I can't describe what I'll be wearing. So look for this handsome guy: [IMG] (Okay, all. Stop...
