I'd edit the picture with your label.... I'm sure if someone wanted to zoom in on it they could read it...
Can we keep this about the coin lol. I don't care if someone could read it. Just makes it a lot more easier to ship to me
but do you really want the entire internet knowing exactly where a 15 year old kid is having his coins shipped to......
One thing I could never understand is the whole cotton glove thing. You run a much higher risk of hairlines holding the coin in your palm on a cotton glove, rather than holding it by the edge with your bare fingers like the second coin.
Well the bust halve has edge Lettering, don't want to ruin the lettering! The buffalo has edges which I can hold it with.
Sweet additions. I do agree about the glove though, your fingers really won't do any harm to a coin with a small amount of care taken.
Very nice pickups . Love the Bust half and the '37 Buffalo is in great shape . I wish I had such nice coins at age 15 .
I don't think the bust half would grade. Next time you could save a bit more money and get a certified VF coin. Nice toning though
Of course it will grade. It is a nice G to weak VG. There, it graded. Will it slab is a different question. (from the pics, I think it better than 50/50 that it would.) The deal is that it honestly doesn't make any difference if it would anyway. It--and for that matter most of the VFs you mention--should never be in slabs in the first place. They aren't worth the extra cost of slabbing them.
That is an interesting amount of detail on the nickel without any obvious signs of luster. Usually when I see a '37 that detailed, there is some shine with it. And without luster, there tends to be more wear. Odd combination. I'm no bust half expert, but the toning suggests it was in an album of some kind for a long time. And since the color is different obverse vs. reverse, it indicates a one-sided view album, board or folder, probably pre-Whitman vintage. Your gloves look like Kodak gloves for handling photographic negatives. No fear of damaging a coin if they are. Soft, soft, soft.
