The worst for me have been Wounded Warrior and Heifer International. I gave a small amount to those charities years ago, and get hats, pins,...
It isn't 100% perfect.
Yes. This happened a couple of years ago.
Somewhere between 64 - 65
The fakes are good, but they aren't that good. There might be some people fooled some of the time, but there aren't any fakes that can fool all...

Those are unusually attractive steel cents. Congrats on finishing the 43 set!
The internet was made for cat pictures, LordM. The cats just let us post coins once in a while. Everyone should know that.
So called specimens from the early days of the mint (1793-1795) are highly speculative. Generally, these pieces supposedly have better strikes,...
Very interesting. I hadn't seen the Chinese counterfeit these yet, but I suppose it was only a matter of time. Thanks for sharing that information.

The OP's coin is definitely a business strike. The strike is weak, the rims are rounded, the fields are lustrous.... not a single thing about this...
Not in 1964, they didn't. SMS coins were made in 65, 66, and 67. There are a couple of extremely rare SMS test pieces from 64, but they are...
Completely normal circulated business strike nickel. Spend it.
If your goal is "quantity of metal" then I suppose that might be true. But at that point, you might as well be trading barrels of oil or bushels...
63+. I'd say 64 because the reverse is quite nice, but the thick toning appears to be hiding a lot of marks. This is not a look that I prefer, and...
The lines in the shield appear to have some wear. I see a couple of incredibly minor marks from circulation. Absolutely nothing unusual there.
There is no answer to your question. Unless you followed the coin from when it was created to today, you have no idea what happened to it. I...
You talking about the area around the 9's? That looks like a plating issue to me. Notice the diagonal streaks across the coin? The plating on...
