Possible yes - but like that - I rather doubt it. Something tells me that coin is not genuine :confused:
As a general rule - doubling and errors don't really add any value to coins from this era. Errors were all too common back in those days. It is...
Some folks say internal cuds don't exist - but I've certainly seen some rather large ones. From the looks of things - this one happened to occur...
Yup - looks like a struck through error to me. My guess would be it was a string from a piece of cloth that one of the mint workers used to wipe...
Sorry - values for errors is not something I am very familiar with. I can help identify them some of the time - but I'm not much help when it...
Certainly looks like one to me. Not being an error person though - I don't know if it is a known variety or not :confused:
nds - you're right - they did strike some cents and nickels in the '60s & '70s with an S mint mark. I had to check the Red Book :eek: Guess...
The last coin struck for circulation at the SF Mint was the '58 cent. Most of the other denominations had their last S year before that. So since...
Liberty nickels are not my forte when it comes to grading but I'll give it a shot. At first glance I want to say this coin is UNC - but -...
Here are the pics of jnesbitt82's nickel error. Now I guessed it was perhaps a capped die error. But not being an error collector I could easy...
It was my pleasure ;) knowledge ..... share it - that's what it's all about pal. Even when I'm wrong :D

I agree with your comment that the gas bubble is already there when the planchet is formed. But the pressure at that time is not great enough to...
Yes it does have a satin look to it. I was tempted to use the word myself - but again it can be confusing because there are satin Proofs as well....
Nope - they're just initials :D Gordon Douglas John Michael Spencer Prather - don't ask it's a long story :rolleyes:
Well I wouldn't quite say frosted - as that could confuse some into thinking it has the cameo effect which is what frosted is usually used to...
Hard to say because of the small pic - and since it is a scan ( I assume ) you can't judge the luster. But that considered - 63 maybe 64. $50 give...
It does appear a bit weak in some areas. I could easy be wrong - but I'll stick with my first guess of a weak strike. The collar was obviously...
Just email me the pics - I'll post them for you ;) gdjmsp@qwest.net
As already stated - there is more than one way to tell. Myself - I've always preferred to look at the 9. In the small date the 9 is almost a...
