1914, no D. Even if there were a D-looking blob there, it would likely be impossible to authenticate.
Well, since you didn't realize you had the wrong change until you got home, it sort of sounds like you flummoxed yourself, too. :)
It wasn't all the green-label holders, either. Only those from the early 90s and before (more or less) are considered to be the good ones.
I would get anything that might grade 64 or higher or would get a PL or DMPL designation graded. Scratches on the case won't affect the grade....
I just finished a 50-coin set this year at FUN. There are some really neat coins in that series, and some of the best artwork you'll see on US...
Exactly.
Thinking outside the box here. How about as you line up the three coins from biggest to smallest, you get a complete Saturn V rocket on the...
To narrow it down a little, the reverse is a D1 reverse (17 berries on wreath). As has been said, the cracks alone won't be the main diagnostics...
When you put the coins in the album, set them into the album enough so the slides don't contact them, and then only remove the obverse slide.
AU55-58, probably.
OK, that's pretty darn cheap. I'd be flipping them with decent pictures as soon as they arrived.
The 1894 is an obvious fake, and now that I actually look at it, the 79-O is fake. Wrong style mint mark, for starters.
The OP coins look real, but I would pass on those. If you want an 1832 half cent, you can get one you'll actually like in a much higher grade for...
I've heard of the CuNi "L" cent, also, but haven't seen one. I think it would be cheaper and easier to expand your short set to include the...
40
I would pay no more than 15 quatloos.
Ahh... good ol' Mr. Intercap Precious Metals. o_O Probably a dead end, but I'll ask a few people who might know
Yes, I replied before reading your other statement. All I'm trying to accomplish is making sure people don't assume that VAM 24 is the rarer of...
OK, but I don't put much stock in NGC population records for VAMs in general, and in this case they reflect the opposite of reality for the two...
False. The VAM 24 is more common than the VAM 11. They share the same reverse, which is the "money side" of the coin. The VAM 24 was not...
