This ought to help you and any other member embarking on this type of journey. 1. Google letters found on the coin; e.g. “Suomi” on coin. Your...
Most definitely these are sought after, it takes a lot of scholastic research to find their value, because it will differ by buyer. It’s a...
That’s what I found, but I deferred to @PaddyB expertise, because, first, there is a lot of similarity in the denominations and, second, I have...
Trying hard not to be insensitive, but you do live in Nebraska, and this coin looks to be damaged from excessive heat: i.e. fire damage. I...
I was almost lured by the MS76 option…very tempting…but I graded it MS66. That’s a mighty fine silver nickel, my friend.
…now I understand completely. Man, what a wild ride! He was fortunate he wasn’t killed.
Good point. The dots and dashes are not completely gone but some of it is. And, using that metric would tend to make me lower my previous...
Per PCGS Photograde, it falls higher than VF25 but less than VF30. So, albeit a bit unorthodox, it is around VF28. It has design element wear...

MS61.
Not a viable solution. They are worth face value now, hanging on to them will only decrease their value due to inflation. Spend them now, before...
Nope. If anything, they are worse. What is needed is a close-up that is in-focus. Everything you’ve posted is blurry.
Please provide a clear close-up of the ear. I can’t tell from the ones you posted.
I’ve processed many jars full of old pennies and I found corrosion growing in the center of several. I immediately removed them to proper storage...
The rim is still separate from the design, so maybe VG10 grade. Go to numismedia.com to find the fair market value. But as @Michael K said, no...
@Brad Miller I joined in 2017, and several well known members were quick to say: “Coins are minted in finite ways, but PMD has infinite ways to...
Significant wear, but maybe XF40. Nice find. Have it authenticated and graded. It is borderline slab-worthy, to be honest, but you will feel...
Full of pre-conceived notions of what was coin collecting when I joined Coin Talk in Oct. 2017, Doug’s viewpoints ( and many others ) were...
Separate names with a comma.
