I agree. All too often I have my 1960 hat on and, like you, those older than mid 30's were most often 1919.
I got it many years ago in a lot of uncleaned ancient. All the other coins in the lot were, unmistakably, ancient. But, the merchant could have...
Any idea where I should go from here? Does anyone think it is an actual ancient? Should I try cleaning it? Should I drop it in a coin star and let...
I guess you are right - if the collectors would stop asking for irrelevant labels there wouldn't be any.
1919 Lincolns
Well, there you go, another way for the TPG's to make money. The ASE Bullion was never intended to be anything other than bullion. It was never...
I don't have any slabbed coins. I handle them carefully and protect them in 2X2's.
My wife and daughter owned several beauty shops back then. My wife brought home every one she got and I put them in a coffee can. They are a very...

Here are a couple photos of the edge. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It weighs 13.24 and is 29 mm X 2.8 mm. I will dig it out and send an edge on. Thanks to all for assistance.
I hope you don't mind serving as a reference.
My car back in the 50's was a 50 Ford body wrapped around an engine as described in the Little Deuce Coupe. Wish I was back there. Hang in here...
Part of that rainbow toning and what looks like wear of the wheat may have to do with what looks like a indirect image transfer (ghost) on the...
I have this large, nearly blank coin I would like some direction on. It is 29 mm X 2.8 mm and weighs 13.24 grams. I need an idea of where to start...
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Doesn't look fake to me. But, I am not an expert.
Attached is a blank that I got with a bunch of ancients. Smooth on both sides. I could see nothing on either. I have had it for years and am...
