I think you did extremely well! Did it pass the “sniff” test?..... Yes, that is the most pitiful dog pun that came to mind. But it really is a...
This is a generalization. And I am fully aware that generalizations do not fit every scenario. My experience with Chinese counterfeits is that...
When you look at your close up, notice the number of lines in the field. That is evidence of die polishing. When a die reaches the end of its...
You young pup. Stop bragging.;)
I cannot begin to express my admiration for my fellow CT’rs coins. I have a lot of average stuff. These are the pieces that light my fire from my...
Wow. I did not know you had such an exceptional half collection. “Wow” just doesn’t seem to cut it.
Oh heavens no! It is certainly a fun coin. Just a simple debris or grease filled die. It is a fun coin but certainly not worth the cost of grading.
No, I am afraid not. Just a hit that moved the copper on the date.
Cents were still copper in 1990. Copper is quite soft. Your cent has been struck in such a manner that the date looks out of place.

Based on the outline of the reverse toning of the second cent, I would surmise this cent has been taped in somebody’s coin book for a number of...
An honest well struck Lincoln. Most all Lincoln’s struck after 1940 were struck in abundance so anything other than the highest grade coins aren’t...
Oh!! I also meant to add.... Boomer Sooner!!!!
Agreed you should start a thread with your coin. Jack is quite the expert with early coins and forgeries. I wouldn’t trouble him with modern...
We are lucky to have you keeping us on the leading edge of these crumbs. I am well schooled on a lot of series. Early copper has not been in my...
Sadly we have trained an entire generation that they should have all they want now. Just use credit.
That is actually sound advice and easy to accomplish. Brew your own coffee every morning instead of Starbucks and in a years time, you just paid...
That appears to be quite a nice specimen. I would like to defer to @Skyman if he has a second to give this one a look.
Ike dollars are fun and easy to collect. That one is still in the US mint issued cellophane. It originally came with a full set of coins issued by...
