Happy birthday, Merc.
I'm Sending It In To PCGS Yes, I know I'm blowing 120 bucks to do so, but I want to find out - to the best extent the service offers - what kind...
Nice tone on the pennies!
Could be. I've had to take my pictures at a bit of an angle because they turn out badly straight-on. It also could be dirt, and another...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] That's certainly a possibility, but the mark itself is where a mint mark should be. Here's the pic you asked for, along with one...
Now that I've edited, I'll again ask: How would a D degrade into something that looks a lot like an O? Any opinions would be appreciated, as I...
Okay, I understand now. If it couldn't have been made there, and the New Orleans Mint was in fact closed, then I've got something different. I'll...
I thought it was because Wikipedia said the New Orleans Mint was open at the time. How would a D deform into an O, or something that looks like an O?
[Please ignore the title: I've been informed that I made a factual error.] I don't hold out much hope for this coin in the monetary sense, but...
[ATTACH] I found an unusual wheat penny: a degraded 1946D. Looks a lot like an O.
Were it I, I'd search them...but that's what I'm like. I don't mind messing with pennies. :rolleyes: It sounds like you want to go ahead and list...
That's pretty much my point. Thanks for the info.
Thanks. I suspected as much.
Yes, it's still silver. It's a keeper, no doubt.
Thanks loads for the information. I might as well ask: is it worth sending to PGCS?
You're right about them only being made in '67. Some of them have 80%, some 50%; the Royal Canadian Mint switched in the middle of the year. Now...
I'm not sure what to make of this one. Everything's normal except for the mint mark. Here's a picture of the obverse, as big as I can make it...
Thanks a lot for the link. I found a 1978 coin that's puzzled me: it has a mint mark that appears to be a solid "D" or a D-like blob instead of...
You're right about it making platinum more of a buy. I think the person who noted it was a goldbug, and didn't quite think the implication through...
As I post, gold is $1,619.30 but platinum is $1,524.00. Platinum took more of a beating because it's in part an industrial metal. The reason why...
