$1 Silver Certificate, Issue 1935-E, L/H Block $3 in Very Fine condition and yours is well below that grade. A keeper for interest purposes only.
Probably not better than VF.
I use 10% as a guide. If it costs less than 10% of my estimated minimum catalog value then I consider it a candidate for submission. DO NOT FORGET...
Possibility? A TPG may ignore the obverse for grading purposes and grade it off the reverse. But a VERY intriguing strike through.
Probably not sulfur. Generally just oxygen. Sulfur is the bane of silver.
I'd say "no" to the 20 and 21. The 23 looks a bit odd but is a possibility.
Looks like the zinc plating has been breached in quite a few places. If you don't want it to get worse get it into some sort of holder. Even a 2x2...
I know the British hung stars in the windows of their homes, one for each family member lost in combat. Could it be a pin for that sort of thing?

Agreed. Probably adds a bit more weight so postage will be higher.
I've been sort of looking for 1941 dated "Military Issued coin during the German occupation during WWII". I believe there are two face values for...
When I send a coin in an envelope I put the coin in a 2x2 and sandwich between two envelope-sized thin pieces of cardboard. And tape the holder...
1933 was the last year the US struck gold coins for circulation.
If it were me I'd be looking at older (before 1933) gold coins. And if you want just one look at half eagles ($5 face). Plenty of inexpensive ones...
The first one appears more problem-free than the second. But the second has the die crack which I find appealing.
I avoid grading non-US coins. Unless ANA grading standards are used (and I assume NGC would) the coins will be graded higher than the rest of the...
I'm pretty sure it would not even grade XF.
Next thing to so is to compare what $10,000 would buy then vs. what $144,247.37 would buy now. Don't be surprised to find out that the buying...
21k if I recall correctly. And it's got an Eagle Eye sticker.
Okay, here's my biggie. 1856 PCGS MS-62 S-3 Note that it's an MS rather than a PF. The S-3 variety is considered a business strike. [IMG] [IMG]
