Maybe it was in a fire or something. Yes it is a real Buffalo nickel, but I would guess the value has been reduced to 5 cents.
Unless there is a super high grade coin in there you want to get graded, the best way to open it, is to leave it in there and not open it.
You can't really have a modern D over S, because the S is a special proof coin. Back in the day when they hand punched all the mm's at Philly, if...
I got this today. Full photos after tomorrows hunt. [ATTACH]
I like it. 2 errors. The shift and the border on the bottom margin of the next note. Normally I would be against steaming and ironing. But...
Very often you can get mint state coins out of rolls. They may have one or 2 nicks but they can be brand new with full luster and be in the MS 65...
It's worth .25- $1. Grading can cost over $30.
Classic large date. See photo. Also, the 70-S small will have a weakly struck LIBERTY. [ATTACH]
All US coins in 1965, 1966 and 1967 have no mint marks. They were produced at all 3 mints. If your coin truly has the letter S and it's not just...
Wow. They often use a certain percentage, but it seems if you look/ measure the area affected it's more than that. I think, if this was 30-35%...

That's an "almost" serial #. It looks like something, but it just misses because some of the digits are slightly out of order.
I couldn't tell what it is. The edge of a teller's stamp? I don't know what part of the printing process would put that line there. If it goes on...
Generally I don't care for toning. Although those nickels look fine.
I wonder if the spoon is plated. The word triple makes me think that. Nice ring. 8 grams brings $225.
That ADL gold ring probably used to have a diamond in it. What does it weigh? Is the spoon silver?
5.2 is heavy and while I don't see the dot marker in the first photo in the highlight photo it looks correct. At first I didn't think so as the...
How much did you pay for it, $20? And you think you are entitled to more than that? It's a modern replacement note, I spend them at face value.
If you include the 1982-S large date proof and the 1982-D small date copper, that's 9 varieties. But there's really only 7 in the business strike...
Separate names with a comma.
