Ah, I looked at the post earlier but missed the info at the top. Thanks for pointing it out! This is such a great cherry-pick! I can imagine...
@ArthurK11 is this autobiographical or are you just imagining? If this happened to you, and that's your coin, then all I can say is WOW!
Regarding the many outlets where you might find one particular coin: usually the best bet is when the dealer has their own shop. Dealers often...
I think this is an interesting thread still! I did want to make a minor clarification in light of @Mountain Man and @Beefer518 mentioning the...
Interesting thread here! I want to start off by saying I agree with @cplradar and @MIGuy - if you don't like the thread, ignore it. (Don't feed...
This is what makes the old coins (including my fave, the capped bust half dimes minted from 1829 to 1837) so enjoyable - you can chart the die...
I love the Walkers too - very nice (and popular) choice to collect! Of the two coins you show, I don't think either have been harshly cleaned-they...
I'm more into silver coins than nickels or other metals - but I think this is a really nice lustrous, original coin and I'm going to go a bit...
@Publius2 is absolutely correct, and it's an easy identification to make. I don't know how I bungled that one, since that is one of the very...
I'm collecting this series by Logan-McCloskey die marriage/re-marriage - 123 coins in all. (It's a long term venture!) You have an 1834 LM-5, with...
I thought whizzed as well. And that's worse than cleaned. Cleaned, in my humble opinion, is where someone violates something that took decades or...
Randy, luckily I can plead ignorance on this one! As a kid, I didn't pay real close attention to the street signs, as I followed landmarks. I paid...
I know we're trying to focus on the good - but I'll share a bit of the bad first to establish contrast. I hope this thread is read by LCS folks...
I've bought proof coins (not Ikes) from that seller to fill the proof holes in a few Danscos I own. He busts out a LOT of proof sets and sells...
I'm not really a big nickel collector so I don't know Black Beauties. But I think your coin is a Beauty for sure. Very nice look to this coin!
Congrats on turning it around, AmishJedi. Your dad had the right idea: "make amends" is all about amending - changing. Sounds like you did, and...
Observation: once the originality is gone, you can't get it back. Look at a dealer/auction gallery of (non-cheap) coins of any type and compare...
OK, quoting myself is probably not good forum etiquette. But I feel like it's useful to repeat myself here. I see posts about this seller - how he...
In response to your question about genuine mint errors - there are a BUNCH of them and yes, they can affect both sides (or for that matter, the...
That seller also had a 63 set. He mixed in the reverse pics from that auction into the 64 auction....
