1956 Proof [ATTACH] 1956 Business strikes [ATTACH] [ATTACH] These replace the iPhone pictures in posts #3987 and #4059.
I have two 1955 proofs so I can show the obverse of one and the reverse of the other. The second one shows the beginning of toning. On the reverse...
I have been giving this some thought and have benefited from other members, too. I think there is no wear at all. When the coin was struck the...
NGC Coin Explorer says the 1954 Philadelphia cent is "genuinely rare in MS 67 RD". They list a guide price of $24,000. Yet, right under that is...
1953 Proof [ATTACH] 1953 Business strikes [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Philadelphia produced an elegant proof in 1952, but this business strike has deep die scratches under ONE CENT. A coin that is original, yet...
Ooops... I mentioned that the USPS delivered the package my 1915-S was supposed to be in, except it was ripped open and had no coin. I tried...
A good place to get a reference to the ideal coin is at either the PCGS or NGC sites. If you look at PCGS CoinFacts for the 1913 Type 1 Proof, you...
Thanks! I'll try to post some more photos tomorrow. There's still a week's worth of wheat cents at this pace, then it's on to Memorial reverses.

My process to make this GIF is extremely simple. I make them for two reasons. Luster is very difficult to portray in a static image. If you have...
@Paddy54 , you are welcome to share this thread. The more I can learn about these beautiful coins the more I will enjoy it. I'm glad to hear I'm...
My wife and I are off to breakfast, but I am going to give this some serious thought. I have only 5 Buffaloes, two are graded, and they are both...
Of course! That was an oversight on my part. I should have done that initially. And that coin is just gorgeous. These are rescaled down to...
Production of proof coins was suspended for 1943 through 1949. (What would a proof steel cent be like?) In 1950 they produced 51,386 proof sets....
A few days ago I got an email from GreatCollections. I noticed a listing for a 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel. Since I have one that is ungraded, I...
When I posted 1915 and 1915-D, I did not have a 1915-S. That has been acquired. (After the original disappeared from its package in the mail, the...
While there is still some spotting in 1948, the quality does seem a bit better than the previous years right after the end of World War II. NGC...
It seems worth waking up this thread for this special photograph - special to me, at any rate. My mother's birthday is coming up in a few weeks,...
The lack of detail in AMER on the reverse of the first 1947-S matches up well with the display example at NGC Coin Explorer, as typical for this...
