Did you actually blow up those two coins - I would take the 61 over that 55. The gouges on the cheek were such a turn off to me, where as on the...
There is always that possibility, just depends on the coin. Peronally I don't like the term AU64, but I do understand the concept and can not...
Without seeing an example it is hard to say. Some of the light golden toning on the buff nickels with the frosty devices can be very nice. When...
Yes - I have a dansco album I am using - so far with out issues. The better ones stay in airtites and some will eventually be graded. I keep them...
Yep the reverse has led a rough life, but if you are happy then I am glad. And the obverse does have some really nice details, too bad about the...
I agree and have refrained from posting. I think the top coin probably has cabinet or friction rub on the high points. Which tpgs will let slide....
xf details on both and agree with Paul. The second looks oily like something was used to darken it. The first coin I am not sure what was done to...
No expert on these, but I agree they look real. Curious as to the weight of these? And how cat someone identify if these are fake.
I think you did just fine. Enjoy and have fun with them - plus another whole roll of buffalo nickels.
Easy - the history of the coin. No big collection to get passed down to me. While the high grade coins are the nicest to imagine on how they were...
Well find a "Coin World" tell him about one of the articles that mentions some good investment buys. Then let him read it - when he is done, then...
Wellll...when you get to be 97 you might be a little green around the gills also. I am suprised they didn't say toned. :)
About like me - I put some of 2009 pennies in my harris albums and need a few more quarters. That will be about it for the more modern stuff. Do...
Well they only forgot mention a little green stuff, corrosion, etc. :)
I would say high AU to low MS details - looks cleaned on the obverse with all the little tick marks. And yes I agree it is O-101.
Now doug who would make a comment about your age?? :) Not me...nope never..of course I wasn't around to read those in 1961, but still interesting...
Yep - very nice coin.
I am no expert on these, but I do not think it is a proof. The color of the coin and just the way the surfaces look make me think ms70. Again -...
Cool find - I check $20 on down for radars or cool numbers. Only one radar so far and nothing else really cool - a few come close but not quiet...
I agree they can call themselves a coin collector - it does not bother me. And what about people who only collect pocket change? I consider them...
