Found some info for you, but keep in mind that grading from pictures is woefully inadequate. Both are from the Philadelphia Mint and both are...
If that’s the only place it shows on the coin then, more than likely, it is die wear/deterioration…imo.
It would have to be a very high grade for registry purposes, but some people, even non-collectors, elect to grade/slab coins for a variety of...
Thanks for posting your pics. Zincolns have a knack to have these plating blisters, it’s just a nature of the beast for the contractors that...
Quite a few good looking designs to me. The HMS Beagle looks really good. The 50p is an Atlantic salmon, according to the Royal Mint website....
It sounds like a form of protest. Okay, they reason, if you won’t make any anymore then we won’t use them at all. Kinda shortsighted if you ask...
NO. Absolutely not! It will be mandatory to say “For my two nickels” instead. However, you may still rub two nickels together without incurring...
Great…a 35 cent coin that costs 70 cents to make.
Yes, the enjoyment of collecting is still present. For me, the process of finding coins from circulation, then studying, assigning a ballpark...

If you go by strictly condition, it appears to be AU53-55. A fair market value at NumisMedia lists a value of 48 cents in AU55. It is a common...
…and because they made 4.3 billion of them, I saved only 1 roll. My wife got them from the bank, I installed them in flips and divided them...
…OR, they will think they are from France…
No, not really. In this case the difference is very minor and shouldn’t affect grading. If the dentils were close to the rim then maybe so.
Randy, I don’t know what you plan on paying, but I saw a listing at NGC for an 1851-C in AU58 for $3,500.00. The Red Book amount doesn’t jive to...
I got in a hurry and off tangent on the D mint mark. I thought it might be for Darwin but…NO. Australia sent the dies to the US for the silver 3...
