What kind of coin? Penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar? Photos are important and easy to upload.
The mintmark from 1946-1964 was on the reverse bottom, left side of the torch. Since 1968 it is on the obverse above the date. There are no 1938...
Usually that is the edge of a bank tellers stamp. It's nothing. $2. You know, those rubber stamps with the ink pads.
It's true that cleaning was routine many years ago, and yours looks better than the OP. Yours may have retoned and be market acceptable. The OP...
He's talking about flipping it. If he pays $75 and sells it for $40 that's a bad deal. It might look nice but it's damaged by improper cleaning.
It's been improperly cleaned. No matter how desirable this coin is, you can't fix that. Even if she didn't clean it, someone did, and it's a poor job.
If I was selling this via Craig's list I would have to meet them in a police station to do this transaction, and then, you're still not safe...
If it doesn't straight grade, it's half that suggested value from post #6.
They both look like 1915. Too bad about the condition the 1915-S is a very good coin.
The Type 1 1851-1853 no outline on star. The Type 2 1854-1858 three outlines on star. The Type 3 1859-1873 two outlines on star. [ATTACH]...
I like the Type 1 very much. This coin has an odd pinkish hue. Either that's from the lighting, or it has been cleaned. You see how the center is...
I was thinking if you just leave it in an open container it would evaporate. But I am not familiar with xylene.
I was just thinking the current xylene could be contaminated with whatever this "super milk spot" is, and I would toss that mixture and use fresh.
Lincoln Cent Resource says that all 1994-1997 should have Wide AM reverses. I am not doubting your coin, but if even 1 die had a Close AM that...
Because he has a buddy who is into coins.
It looks better. Perhaps remove and rinse with distilled water, (air or lightly pat dry) and put it in a new container with some fresh xylene. I...
Silly to put Wide AM either on the label or the website, since they are all Wide AM. Now if you found a 1988 Close AM then you have something. If...
Look at the photo in post #4. Copper is not very hard, and when it gets put into one of those things, the metal moves a little. And it takes the...
The problem with books these days is the internet. Once these prices are published, they are obsolete the day before the book comes out. Since you...
It still has silver value. Someone was just trying out some tin snips or something. If it shows up on YT or Etsy for $10,000 rare mint error, then...
Separate names with a comma.
