Cool find for circulation - keep hoping I will find one at some point. PS: Mods typically don't close threads unless they get out of hand.
Good answers - I don't think die cracks add a premium, plus some collectors think they lesson the value of the coin and the grade. Also on some of...
Well the seller will probably call this a "novelty coin". I would stay away from those lots that show SGS holders or selfslabbers. Now was it 15...
I would say VF30 and PCGS Genuine simply because it looks like the corrosion has started to eat into the coin. Not sure what it will look if you...
Not good enough to tell if it is a fake, but I would say F-12 range, assuming that is not corrosion on the top right wheat stalk.
My grade 62RB - for some reason the obverse weak strike is not to my liking(just my opinion based on the picture) and I agree with the others...
Well first I thought "in god we trust" must all be missing to be a "godless" coin??? Not really sure about that. To me it looks like a grease...
Nice coins Stainless.
Wow - you guys are almost making me want to go buy an ancient. Nice examples and a good post on lighting.

Take a duplicate and insert in each hole to stretch it. Usually makes the real coin go in nicely. I did have some problems with state quarters,...
Well from the article in the cherry pickers guide on the deepest part of the die and with die grease and die wear I would assume that would vary...
Well you are doing good! Some of them are real beauties like that bust dollar. The only disappointing thing is - no US large cents. :) Very nice...
Glad to be of service and that is one nice reverse for a buffalo nickel. I was browsing the album - is that your collection? If so you have some...
I agree. I would create a grading company slap change into it and sell it on the bay - along with some unsearched rolls. :) Never used...
That is one nice coin! But I have to ask - Why upgrade it? What is on the holder is not really that important - for now. Maybe if you wanted to...
To use photobucket just go into it and browse the album. Select the picture and scroll down to generate html. Then cut and paste (using the...
I think when you cut and pasted the link you might have just missed a bracket or something like that.
No offense - but I work with several dealers to get coins in the grades that I like - does that make me a non-real collector? Next to win registry...
I agree - get the cherry pickers guide. And if you search on this site for strike doubling or machine doubling you will find a bunch of posts.
