Have you checked completed sales on eBay? Chris
I doubt that the Mint would be stupid enough to use a plastic that contained PVC. FWIW, I stored Mint-wrapped SQ rolls in those plastic trays for...
I'm leaning toward damage, but just to be sure, I'd like to see a close-up of the area in question. Chris
Let's assume that the coin did get caught in a groove of the drum. If it was loose enough to roll around 360 degrees, then it should be loose...
Are you sure that is toning? It looks to me like it might be latex paint..........AT! Chris;););)
If I had $20K, first, I'd go to Las Vegas. Then, I'd come back and decide what I'd want to do with my winnings. Chris
Thank you for your prompt response. No, I'm not interested in buying, but I do like to know who is posting information here. Chris
I'm guessing that Ken is correct, but I'm not 100% positive. I have about 100 rolls of the Westward Journey nickels in Mint wrappers. I've kept...

In my free time, I gain weight with the money I save. Chris
It could be slightly misaligned, but we'd need to see the reverse to be sure. The faint circle could be from a rolling machine. It's not...
That's interesting, Brandon. I've never heard of tilt-shift lenses, but then I'm not a very good photographer. Thanks for the info. Just out of...
Tilting the coin is not the best way because it would make the coin look elliptical. Wouldn't axial lighting be better? Chris
Can you post photos of both sides? Naturally, it is impossible to guestimate any value without knowing the condition of the coin. Why jump the...
From what I gather, most dealers don't care too much for rotated dies less than 90%. Chris
AA CC HH OO OO !! Nice find!
I don't know, either, Rick! What I do know is that the US Mint should stop making a crappy cent altogether! Chris
The same thing? I disagree! How could a deeper recess of a die (Lincoln's head) be abraded to form a flat surface below the fields of the die...
I don't understand how this could be compared to the abraded leg of the buffalo nickel. I understand how a portion of the leg could disappear...
