It is true that there were no nickels in 1968 without mintmarks, but Philadelphia didn't start putting P's on them until 1980....
Those 2 with cuds look like they are from the same broken die. What are the chances of finding 2 of those in your pocket at once. I'm no expert...
I saw that question and response on the auction page after I read this thread the first time. I thought that might have been your question, but I...
He's removed the auction. I sent him a message with a link to coinfacts.com, then he replied and said since several people had shown him evidence...
I'm probably going to show my lack of experience with MS coins here, but here goes...MS-63. The scratches in the field are distracting and draw...
In 1909 there were only "plain" and S. They appear on both. VDB is the smaller mintage of both, but the S mint is the smallest mintage and most...

I also think they are AT. I was leaning that way anyway, then Arizona Jack convinced me. Just for the record, I personally don't like toned...
Here's the whole thing. I have no idea what I paid for it, if anything. I've probably had it 20 years or so. I didn't know about the acid until...
Just goes to show you how much profit car dealers make regardless of their claims.
That looks like 3 votes for acid plus the original person. Good enough for me. Lesson learned on that one. I won't make that mistake again....
I got a scale so I can finally figure out which of my 1982 cents are copper. It's a cheap one and is only accurate to 0.1 gram, but it will serve...
Is this buffalo an acid date? I've been told it is. Thanks.
