Finding S and D mint specimens is harder on the East Coast...but not impossible. Especially for nickels (and more so on silver war nickels)....
If you CRH enough, you'll find many impaired proofs. Usually the proof is liberated because of a spot or other environmental issue, but some are...
I don't think so. A picture of the RTY would be beneficial. But the thickness looks normal and normally discernable in a worn state.
Incredible - a full roll! I think that the site host might like to learn about your more significant rotated coins. It looks to be a 'labor of...
I agree with Lehigh - AU58. The heavier nicks are indicative of bag damage on an MS coin but the surface abbrasions are indicative of time spent...
Here's a site for rotated coinage (it's incomplete and a work inprogress as I understand): http://rotateddies.50webs.com/census.htm Nice finds!!
OK - work on those pictures. You'll need crisper shots for us to do a diagnostic for you. Tips for taking pic's - Find a heavy object of an...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts: damaged. Possibly two events. Partially done in a washer/dryer (worn reverse) and a vise to flatten the rim.
That is a fine looking coin!! I agree with our fellow enthusiasts: max'ed out. I'd actually be worried CAC would go lower.
Thanks Larry. Folks can build a complete set from CRH and pocket finds (Jefferson Nickels). The reality is that by the 3rd or 4th box, a...
Rusty - welcome to the hobby!! Lots to learn and enjoy!! It could be that the O in ONE is worn from circulation or could be affected by grease...
A fellow enthusiast of ours has a 500 box challenge underway which should produce some exciting results. About 4 years ago I was curious to see...
You are correct. It is a lamination error.
This was my attribution cent for that year...[ATTACH]
Larry - to assist you, taking pictures that mimic what you see at Wexler's and Coppercoins sites helps your fellow enthusiasts with the diagnostic.
I make those every once in a while when washing jeans. Loose change caught between the fixed and rotating wash basin. Just damaged.
I purchase uncirculated rolls all the time. Based on storage conditions mint luster varies. For instance, the edge of the coin might be red-brown...
Hydrozyncite.
Sorry...PLURIBUS. It’s the T in STATES that’s different but on worn nickels it’s hard to tell. Just like the Steps.
Machine Damage. No premium. This could be stuck in a flip and used by you when deciding. It is a good example of MD.
