Seriously? I might have bought like one coin years ago, back when they still had auctions. (I was also big on Yahoo! auctions. I wish those two...
Probably not. It would just come back "damaged" from any grading service. Maybe you could send it to CONECA and they might look at it for a...
That is a rather motley assortment of coins, isn't it? Also, are those coins in Air-Tites?
You're quite welcome. I love interesting holders you don't see every day. I'd probably buy a seriously overgraded ANA slab as an exonumia item...
I consider the small white holders essentially equivalent to modern PCGS or NGC.
Ok, scale is probably good. The possibilities I can think of that fit the known facts are: The coin left the Mint weighing between 2.95 and...
There's theoretically some risk that coin doctors could come up with a way to convincingly AT coins consistently[0]. I don't think it's likely...
Great idea. I forgot the trick of using a nickel as a quick and dirty check. It also has a tolerance of 0.194g, so a good nickel could way...
[ATTACH] PCGS MS66+ and featured on the front page of PCGS Coinfacts. I love this coin so much. Thank you, @Savy for selling it to me. :) This...
Bah, 600 survivors? You can get 19th century proofs with mintages under 600 for not a crazy amount of money compared to 09-SVDBs and 16-Ds in...
Here's a thought: has anybody thought of messaging the seller? I don't think they're trying to pull anything here, just that they're...
Yep, it exists. 1983 P copper cents also exist. I'm unsure how many of each there are.
I'm inclined to think your scale is out of whack, or that maybe it's accumulated enough crud to read 3.0g. That reading is literally just a hair...
You don't really need any specific brand. Anything in the way of a jewelry scale or reloading scale will work well. Just make sure it can...
You can PM me for my address to send me your paycheck lol. The tolerance for a zinc cent is 2.5g +- 0.100g according to my 2016 Mega Red, p. 1442. :)
Cool coin. It must be very thin if it's 18mm and 1.74g.
Nice looking coin. I think I've seen it some place before... maybe even considered buying it. :) Glad it has a good home.
Nice, honest-looking coin. :) Proof that collecting doesn't have to be expensive!
Am I color blind or is this coin more green than it is blue?
My list of "stuff I should have bought but didn't" wouldn't really include a lot of stuff that's appreciated a ton in value. One example would...
