http://www.cointalk.com/t69649-2/ - just one link and there are others. Not saying this is what was done to your coin since I really can not see...
Post mint damage is just damage done to a coin after it has left the mint. In this case it could be one of those coin counting machines. I will...
See Franks's post and then read it again. Before deciding on something get a red book or find a book on something you are interested in. Read...
Looks like it could use a good home. Then maybe it can rest from all the abuse it has taken.
Hard to tell, but from the pictures it is AU details - the color does make me think of one I have that was whizzed. Hope it is just the pictures....
And to add to what Frank said - resist the urge to just buy. Learn first and carefully buy second. This should help you to make sure you get...
I think his store is still offline though. Give him some time and I am sure he will get it up and running.
Very good point. It is always best with in-hand appraisal with your own eyes. The problem is my local dealer does not have a lot of coins in some...

You ain't a kiddin' - that gold coin looks just like one I saw down at the local shop. I have never seen gold look that color. So pale and washed...
illini - maybe that coin will brown up a little and make a RB holder later on. I have a 1909 that reminds me of that color that came back body...
Sometimes yes and sometimes no - can't remember which Morgans I was looking at last night, but the dealer cost was 60 and most on ebay were 89....
The red book is a book on US coin - see if this link works - The Red Book. Also I recommend the ANA grading guide - there are others also, but I...
First I would have to find a 2009 nickel. :) I would keep it just cause it was cool, but I agree no real premium.
Maybe, but I think in most cases it is a collector who just does not need the proof and/or it is not worth the cost of auctioning off. So they...
