Yes, it does appear to be an impaired proof. Not really worth much, but a neat find.
This was what a "convertible" looked like, back in the day. ;) [IMG]
Oh, my. Lovely.
PS- I don't think it's scratches or anything. PO01 coins get a fair amount of leeway in that department, and this one is "better" than a lot I've...
Well, you can read the date, so the unverifiable mintmark might have been the reason.
That package looks vaguely familiar. :)
Nah, you can fix it. Just edit. The multiple coin posts are fine. Just take one of those series of prize selections and put it in your entry...
@greed ball - why did you post two lists of prize preferences? You only get one entry post, and the prize picks need to be in that post. PS- the...
That "centennial" piece is awesome. The octolobe/floral one is really nicely done, too. Hope you can treat that verdigris spot.
Here's one I wish I still had. Judging from the harp and the battle implements (rifle, cannon, drum, sword), I'd say this almost certainly had to...
Wow. I gather the '39 nickel came from the CoinStar and not the ground?
Medieval, not ancient, but... @Oldhoopster made an apt comparison by posting the second picture below, in response to my... Crusader States...
Oh, but that would have made me want one more! :hilarious:
I want one. A non-holed example. They're tough coins. I had never seen any prior to helping my local dealer (accidentally) score that small...
It takes a little while to learn the ropes, but stick around. It's a great site.
Really nice Wheatie for a dug one. I hit one site here on St. Simons Island where the Wheaties came up like that- didn't even look like ground...
Well now, that's interesting. I've never seen a blindfolded lynx (or any lynx, or any other blindfolded critter, for that matter) used in...
The green was worrisome, but seems improved, and when you told me you spent eight bucks on it, all my reservations flew out the window. Nicely done.
PS- I've looked at the pictures three times now. On first impression, I liked the second coin more. On second and third looks, I increasingly...
I will add that I deliberately weaseled out on grading these, as I suspect there are some strike issues which deceptively look like rub, and give...
Separate names with a comma.
