Flip worthy nickel. But not slab worthy in my opinion.
Doublecheck your 1939 to see if you have the Type 1 (1938) or Type 2 (commonly referred to as the 1940) reverse design. Type 1 nickels are worth...
I don't think quite yet. Looks like MD to me. Look at the devices in the date. Any MD there?
Tricky stuff on these more desirable coins. Slabbing will authenticate the coin. But I agree that it won't straight grade. Randy raises the...
Stability is the problem without slabbing the coin. Progression will invariably change the appearance. Enjoy it while it lasts!
Nice!
I think the case has been made that it’s both. Jim’s comment regarding the migration of the devices is a useful tip! By looking just at the date,...
I was fortunate to have a LCS that had a bid board during the winter months. Local collectors posted coins and took bids. Most had reserves. Many...
As noted, these types of errors are reasonably available and reasonably priced. They are interesting pieces. I have a few myself...never paid...
Ed's estimates are consistent with what I've seen and paid. Certainly not $700...you would need a handful of them to fetch that much money.
Similarly, I got back into the hobby after decades away and started to learn about varieties and errors. It added a new dimension to the hobby...
Maybe. Clearer picture of the date would help.
If the field and the rim are affected, it’s very likely damage.
It’s uncommon to find a variety that’s worth a tidy sum. And then there’s the burden of finding a buyer. So the real ‘payout’ is in the search...
That’s a fun one to find! Nice!
A reason one might collect all 1970 S cents is that there is a possibility that you would catch a Small Date specimen. Given the value of an SD,...
Sure. PM me.
Sorry Joe. I didn’t catch that autocorrect renamed you. Lol I let a friend know that I got her tea (I was at the drive through). Autocorrect...
Washer coin. Long forgotten for a few loads of laundry. Eventually noticed by its maker and spent in good faith.
@JCro57 Jim - have you come across a 1939 with the dot reverse like mine?
