I think the obverse is better than VG, more like F12-15 …but the reverse is way better, maybe VF35. Look at the lines on the Eagle shield!…and I...
I do take your comment the right way…as constructive and informative. This one was the better of 2 in the display case. Out of 300 coins in the...
I went looking for a Flying Eagle cent but found this instead. It's my first and only Shield Nickel. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I paid the current FMV...
UPDATE: I have found a source for the 2 sets and am nailing down shipping and payment at this time…1:10pm CST…Spark
I need these 2 sets to complete a series. Clad versions preferred but will take what is available. Please tell me what you have that you are...
“Die chip” is the term used before, now “Interior Die Break” (IDB) is being pushed as the proper and preferred terminology. I agree with Sal and...
I crunched some numbers and came up with a fair value…I think. Using the PCGS listed values for the 1944-D 1C DDO FS-101, I calculated the...
Sal, it’s not that simple. The auction record is $1500 for a MS66RD. So first you have to set a grade on this one, which could be VG8-F12 as...
Wear has significantly diminished the doubling, so that is a bigger issue than prior cleaning. Both issues taken together seriously weaken the...

Not seeing any doubling. I do see a lot of wear and contact damage. Did you see a variety match at Wexler or VV?
…like a screwdriver. A nickel then fit perfectly into the straight-slot screws of the era…other denoms too, but a silver dollar was probably too...
That is a gouge across the face of George. What you have is a damaged coin with medium wear.
typo…missed an “s”…apologies to the spelling police…
1925 was the 150th Anniverary.
MS61 and you paid $250.00. That would be a great bargain as Numismedia lists it for $360 (and rising).
Welcome to Coin Talk! I gave you your first “like” because you have to be brave to take the leap for your first post. I lurked and learned for 3...
No. It’s from the Philadelphia Mint.
This raises another question: how close is closely? A gnat’s behind or rodents’ whisker? Bottom line: Anything less than Uncirculated is AU....
I was leaning toward lower as well, F15-VF20 (and cleaned) seems to be in the right ballpark. Still, a nice pick up!
