Here is a corroded green detector find. Late 1830s large cent. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I see that too... but Sylvester has 'the look' :)[ATTACH]
Based on the images, the 1937 S looks to be the best of them all.
I'm sure the TPGs want to minimize the prevalence of altered/faked slabs in the media. Best course of action would be making the NFC chip...
I would be suspect to the individual who tried to sell them.
Very nice Hot Lips!! I wouldn't call them hot, but I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would call it the Stallone Lips variety if...
I need 46, 47, 48
Since you used the word (letter?) "A", it implies only one coin. Sending only one coin is a very bad idea, because you are paying for the flat...
I keep all the red and lustrous 1960s and early 1970s cents when I find them. They aren't as easy to find anymore so I hope one day, with good...

I can't speak for Buffalo (never been, me and my pappy didn't go to the college hockey tournament that year) but in Northern Maine, I would...
Even still, here in Northern Maine we never get S mint coins, so it seems that it is the same nowadays. I get my S mints through circulation...
I'd say 100 percent if you lived in San Francisco in the ol' days. Also 100 percent if you buy rolls of circulation strike coins from the mint...
I would buy it at $10 for sure.
Santiago, Chile as noted above. The mintmark is an S with a halo, still the same one used today.
I would guess it was in a salty area. I've found nickels and quarters with this color patination on the coast of Maine
That baby must have come from a detectorist!
Only two hours? I'm the type to stick around and chat as much as possible, even at the tiny shows I go to :)
Yes, exactly. Not dissing the commemorative collectors, but I agree, buying direct from the mint is a losing proposition. The aftermarket is best...
Simply, yes. Market isn't there for moderns unless they stand out, like the 2021 Morgan and peace dollars. Too much risk associated with buying...
