My favorite series started out with the Buffalo Nickel. I went to my first coin show in 1955 at the age of 6. I saved up my Blue berry and...
I've only been collecting coins for 65 years. The coin in question appears to be End Of Roll toning. I've seen this type of toning many times in...
I'm in the not genuine opinion. LIBERTY is too strong for being struck upon by the reverse die and the flip over reverse die.
My analysis comes out to a genuine 1960-D cent with a fake second strike. I note how the field rolls up to the rim unlike many counterfeit coins...
That is a nice proof coin without the serif. Even your obverse edge matches the slight wire edge of the proof example. Congratulations. I wonder...
Hi Derrick. You are referring to your coin becoming a pocket piece. As a pocket piece, the coin will eventually wear down but even cloth...

Unlike other modern circulating coinage of Australia, the 12 sided 50 cent piece is the only coin not having a milled edge. Your coin appears to...
Hi. You have seen it mentioned here about Statutes of Limitation. Be wary of time. I don't know what your agreement was as to time to sell the...
Not quite cleaning. I acetoned it based on the instructions I was given to remove the PVC, poly vinyl chloride, oil residue. As show and tell...
Interesting coin. It looks silver where the scale is missing. If so, it appears to be similar to my 1893-S Type 2 with the slight slant to the...
