I got a 1938 Jefferson nickel in change once; I don't recall the mint mark. I also got a 1959 Washington quarter (also don't remember the mint mark).
What cpm9ball said. In addition, ANACS quality has gone way down hill. They are considered by most collectors to be a "second tier" grading...
I stopped through there about two weeks ago and had to wait all of 30 seconds before being allowed in. There is a security screening / metal...
They're not listed in my "All About Buffalo Nickels" book.
I concentrate on one series of coin at a time. For example, right now I'm working on the Buffalo nickel series. I only collect business strike...

PayPal sucks. Ebay sucks. I swore both of them off!
The mere presence of "666" has no significance whatsoever, and all the hoopla surrounding it comes from pure ignorance. The idea of 666 being...
That sounds like very good advice for people who are experts in the field. I merely dabble in ancients, however, and will continue to rely on NGC...
Ok, this thread sat dormant for two years until yesterday, when the poster above me revived it. OTOH, I'm new to the forum and hadn't seen it...
