Forgot to post this one in this thread: [IMG] [IMG]
Die cracks are extremely common on the 1883 No Cents Liberty Nickel. Yours appears to exhibit the normal look.
hahahaha! Now that's a funny post! :)
I miss the good 'ole days of when someone would go on a three page rant about why it was a "doubled die", not a "double die". :devil:
While the "zapping" is convenient for your anecdotal point Paul, the NGC site is NO WHERE even close to the same as the PCGS boards. There are...
The third type is a subtlely different squarish hologram sticker. Yours is of the earlier version (1997-2000). The one used in late 2000-2001 is...
I did not look at the NGC pop reports. I almost guessed MS65, were it not for the two spots and the slightest weak strike on the hair/cap on the...
Do you have a slab shot Waldo? Is it an old fattie? JW... Nice coin. The luster looks simply stunning! :) Sorry for ragging on your images. :p
And Doug, what's it like once you get past that and know everything? Do tell... ;) :devil:
The NGC and PCGS boards are VERY different animals. To throw them in the same bin and judge them as one is not even possible. One of them is as...
Well, why else would you walk into a Ford dealership? :confused:

I still don't think it's wear, but rather a combination of strange spotting of the coin surface and (no offense waldo) poor image quality. I'm...
Given the luster one can see in the large pictures, particularly around the periphery, I'm going with higher than what anyone else has said here...
I'm a little early, but I'm posting my 1852 because I'm sure I'll forget to tomorrow! :) [IMG] [IMG]
Photographing the slab is pretty easy. Photographing the coins inside of the slab is a bit tricky! ;) :devil:
And...this type coin just arrived this afternoon. It's an upgrade type-set coin, with some colors I thought were quite attractive. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Picked up a new so-called-dollar. This one is more difficult to find than many, with a mintage of only 1000 medals. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Anything over $500 is usually a "major" purchase for me...requiring at least a couple days thought. I'd say $500 to $1000 is an occasional...
What's "satin-like" about the coin? Whatever you're smoking, I want some for my next vacation. :yes:
