There was no 1969-P issued. It is without any doubt 1989-P. Enough of the 8 and the second 9 are visible to confirm this.
It would be a sad note to remember some loved one with those tombstone years. Still, I'd guess there is someone out there who would want it, but...
My apologies. I was trying to say the coin is damaged, but say it in a funny way. When a third party grading service grades a damaged coin they...
1989-P, but I'm afraid you'd only get a details grade.
I don't really trust it either, but it is more convenient. I do make multiple encrypted back-ups and once or twice a year drop a flash drive into...
Excel, plus gradually building a file of photos. CT got me into that so I could post, but I am woefully short of picturing all of even my better...

Congratulations! (If you'd like to upgrade your collection, there is an MS-65 going out this weekend on Great Collections. Current bid is only a...

Congratulations!
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were still applying the mintmark to each die at the mint in 1970. I used to know when they...
Looks like somebody spent Grandpa's coin collection. Or some burglar spent a stolen set.
Just now looking at some on ebay, and there are definitely at least two different dies involved. In some, the "spit" glances off the C, if it...
Thanks for the different views! I know they were sought after at one time, but how rare can they be when I found seven of them going through my...
A friend asked me to go through some of her coins to see if any were valuable. There are quite a few coins, and I may be asking for advice from...
In hand I might change my mind, but I'm in the MS-63 crowd.
