I think not, fortunately. A wheel mark would have resulted from a counting wheel grabbing the coin by the high points. The photos are good enough...

The terms are still necessary for any raw coin auctions, where the seller has an opinion about the quality of the coin, but does not have a TPG’s...
My pleasure! Thanks for looking!
The 1929-S wraps up my survey of cents of the 1920’s. This red-brown example was $39. For people who work in rarer territory, these prices may not...
This 1929-D is certainly a 64 BN, since it was graded by ANACS and bought through Great Collections. It was almost exactly on the price guide,...
I didn’t do well on the last thread. I’m reminded of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons “This time for sure, Rocky!”. So I will try again....
When I started with Lincolns I bought a set, almost as an impulse buy. All the coins before 1934 were removed. The three coins from 1929 were...
I confess I was indeed with you, thinking the steps were certainly full for the design. For some reason I voted 65, but I don’t know why - it’s...
I got this semi-key 1928-S from a seller whose photos were not so great. I tried to read the coin through the bad contrast and color. Here are...
Ummm, wouldn’t you have a bit of advantage, like having the coin, the holder, and the grade in front of you? Not that there’s anything wrong with...
I see those, and they make me wonder. Nickel is such a hard metal to strike. I imagine is does not flow so easily as, say, copper or silver....
@Lehigh96 Good choice! Here are the two 1942 proofs. For anyone unfamiliar with how the War Nickels were phased in, both versions were struck in...
I like this 1928-D that I found for $40 on eBay. I got a number of coins from this same buyer, and I pretty much liked all of them. I like the...
I feel this (former) ANACS MS 65 RB was a good deal at $30. I love the fiery intensity of the color in all the crevices. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a picture of my setup in this post Post your coin photography set-up The camera stand, the camera, and the coin all sit on a little...
I just used a full roll of toilet paper as my phone stand. I thought the white paper would reflect the light onto the coin from another direction...
I won’t be baited into revealing anything! Just wait a day or two and I will say something stupid in another post to catch up.
The 1927-S did not have good strikes or good dies for the most part. The NGC Coin Explorer had to use this coin as its plate coin, in spite of two...
Also agree with LordM. I hope I am wrong because I like that dollar. Here’s hoping it’s on the holder, not the coin. Edit: Removed a comment...
