Amazing coin. Didn't even know that variety existed. RPM and RPD with two varieties of dates!!! Already in the Red Book (no wonder they are more...
Reasonably well struck. The rivets on the shield and the the design on the shield's center are quite prominent. I've given up guessing grades for...
Once the zinc coating is breached and the steel underneath has started to rust, that all for that coin (unless you just want a space filler). When...
I've still have some philatelic/numismatic combos from the time leading up to the Bicentennial. Medals produced by the Mint combined with stamps...
I'm a collector --- a hole filler. I don't study coins because I still have too many holes to fill.
I'll have to see if I have anything good. My 1921 is a MS-61 or -62. My 1928 is an MS-62. Someone's probably got better than that. My best is a...
I have them all in 66FS except the 43/2 which I'll have to look up. Many of them are not imaged yet so I'll wait to see if you need some after...
See your PM.
Well done. I've got one of those and am aware there are the various mintmarks. Just have never seen them. Don't even know which one I have.
I've got some good ones but they are in my NGC Registry type set. Does that make a difference?

I went through all of the 1865 "Fancy 5" coins listed in Flynn's book and I don't see one that matches your coin. What does that mean? I don't know.
Three of them look fine to me, but one worries me. The '42-P nickels looks like it was cleaned. See the lines running almost horizontally across...
To Anyone Who Goes: Please report on the nature of the show: - Day and time you attended (ex. Sat 1000-1200) - Number of coin dealers (approx.)...
I took a bath once, so I've been cleaned. But that was a LONG time ago; I've retoned nicely.
Niiiiiiiiiiice! I agree with the AU details. And I tend to agree with the "cleaned" part. You've got red showing through, but no hourglass...
The "bad guys" on eBay probably amount to less than 0.1%. But considering the number of people active on eBay in one way or another, 0.1% is quite...
"So think MS-60 pricing?" Forgot to mention. When I talk about pricing, my reference is the greysheet, not something like Coin Trends. Does...
I've been looking seriously at those courses for the last two years. Not all of them. Just the ones about grading. There's a couple key holes in...
