I think you did just fine. Enjoy and have fun with them - plus another whole roll of buffalo nickels.
Easy - the history of the coin. No big collection to get passed down to me. While the high grade coins are the nicest to imagine on how they were...
Well find a "Coin World" tell him about one of the articles that mentions some good investment buys. Then let him read it - when he is done, then...
Wellll...when you get to be 97 you might be a little green around the gills also. I am suprised they didn't say toned. :)
About like me - I put some of 2009 pennies in my harris albums and need a few more quarters. That will be about it for the more modern stuff. Do...
Well they only forgot mention a little green stuff, corrosion, etc. :)
I would say high AU to low MS details - looks cleaned on the obverse with all the little tick marks. And yes I agree it is O-101.
Now doug who would make a comment about your age?? :) Not me...nope never..of course I wasn't around to read those in 1961, but still interesting...
Yep - very nice coin.
I am no expert on these, but I do not think it is a proof. The color of the coin and just the way the surfaces look make me think ms70. Again -...
Cool find - I check $20 on down for radars or cool numbers. Only one radar so far and nothing else really cool - a few come close but not quiet...
I agree they can call themselves a coin collector - it does not bother me. And what about people who only collect pocket change? I consider them...
Yeah I figured most of the discussion was around graded coins - but even then I don't think you would offer the same for any old graded coin. As...
You know the one thing I did not see mentioned is the "grading of a coin". The seller's opinion on a coin and the dealers may be vastly...
Yep can't wait to see pictures from you. Looks like nice details and besides the color the only other thing I noticed was the hits on the reverse...
There are some dealers that take coins on consignment - like Rick Snow. And usually they charge a percentage. Not sure if Rick would take any old...
Nice care package.
Sorry to hear about your loss - at least you tried. Been a couple of times I did not bid and was suprised by what the coin sold for. Doesn't mean...
Not a bad lot for $35. I think you did pretty good and I agree vg on the large cent. I can't see the surfaces real good, but assume no problems.
10x and 16x loop, then a digital blue microscrope to search for really close-up action.
