I think the 1974 aluminum is illegal to own and subject to confiscation. Yes they were handed out (to some members of congress?) and there is one...
It was the whiteness of the images and the area around the stars (look at the bottom 4 stars on the left) that led me to believe it had been...
P.S. also some wear on the bust and forehead. As for grading, there are 3 varieties of this coin, and since we don't see the edge we don't know...
I always think these coins have been cleaned. Not by you and not recently. IDK if they take that into consideration when grading since 90% of...
Probably just a raised crease. Or the money had been set aside (in a book?) and it could have been pressed up against a pin or paper clip and over...
Found a few more since the last post. And more since this photo was taken. [ATTACH]
There are honest opinions and the "heartless" or "spiteful" you think you see is in your own inflection, (from reading the post) and imagination....
Try posting full image.The 1st one could be a cracked planchet. (Or damage.) The second one is damage. The 3 reverse photos are damage.
The post in #9 doesn't appear to be an error. (Someone will be able to tell you exactly what it is.) An error happens at the mint. Whatever...
Seattlite86 I went through a number of 1939 nickels (a while back). No reverse double dies but I found 2 1938 reverses. It is posts like these...
It must have been cleaned. A straight AU 50 is listed at $1700. Agree with EF cleaned. They routinely cleaned these coins 100 years ago, or...
I realized that weight multiple/coincidence as well, and yet copper is not weighed in troy.
The copper coating is super thin and easily scraped off by accident or on purpose to expose the zinc core.
With all those scratches, if it is MS I would be closer to 62.
The coin doesn't exist and if it does, it's a bad counterfeit. If someone accidentally put the S mint mark on 1 die (I don't even think they were...
Alurid is correct. 31.1 grams per troy ounce. Copper is weighed at 28.3495 grams per ounce. But gold, silver, platinum, is always troy. Because in...
Appears to be a nice greaser on the obverse. Too bad about the zinc rot on the other side. A keeper for sure.
I am up to 151 dollar coins. 1 from 2000 and all the rest from 2016-date. There are a few cool ones. 3 Ike dollars, (four 2001 D Sacagaweas...
Agree that it shouldn't be less than $1,000. There are a lot of collectors who can't get this piece, and can't afford a straight G4 which could...
2 spots Saturday 3 spots Sunday 1.5 gallons. The 1st spot, 3 dollar coins and a wheatie 1941. The 2nd spot Sunday the last target was a dollar...
