It's good to cut the BS as much as you can, Neo. I've had to do some of that myself. It's a good step and it makes your NGC Boards experience far more pleasant

Indeed it is fun to see the excrement of ignored members pop up from time to time like the Ghost of Excrement Past. Not really, but I guess it's a fact of life around here, sadly.

Looking good, Bill. Love those Canadian nickels, especially the Tombac one. Those Tombac nickels are damned handsome coins in high grade!!

I was unaware of that Conder and I'll keep that in mind in the future. This is what I love about this place......22 years into this hobby and I still learn new things all the time!! Thank you so much for sharing that fact

Update-the 1983 Canadian Proof Set has sold and the link has been removed. Thanks So Much!!

I've seen that with some world banknotes, too, Mike. A lot of people seem to be digging hyperinflation notes from anywhere lately. It's caused some Weimar German stuff to go CRAZY!!! Which makes me kind of sad because I've been into chasing German banknotes lately and Weimar notes are some of the coolest ones. Ah well, most German Empire stuff is still very affordable. It might be a good time for me to focus in there.

I didn't think about those 36-42 Proofs......they may be a bit undervalued, too, now that you mention it. That's a good observation.

I'm going to change my answer, now that I've thought about it. U.S. coins do have a sustained demand beyond other numismatic markets, and that's unlikely to change at any point in the near future. So that said, I'm going to simply say that the most overpriced U.S. coins are Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Silver Eagles and common date Double Eagles in super grades. As for underpriced U.S., I don't think many U.S. coins are presently undervalued, really. They're either right where they should be or overpriced. However, there are some U.S. currency notes that may be a little bit undervalued right now, but not by that much. Most of those are right where they should be price-wise, in my opinion. Some of the key date modern varieties of circulation series may also be undervalued presently as people are pumping a ton of money into the older stuff and Silver Eagles. Things like 1970-S Small Date Cents, 1972 Type 2 Ike Dollars, 1981-S Type 2 Cents and Dollars are being a little bit neglected at the moment, so I think they may be a little undervalued right now. Not hugely, but a little.

Is this just U.S. or can I go beyond U.S.? This is an important question before I submit an answer.

Got the links for the Prestige Set packages fixed up now. Thanks for the heads up, GBrad!!!

Oh! Thanks Brad!! I still have them. The auctions must have ended. I'll fix that. Thanks!!!!

Thanks Brad!! I appreciate the kind words and well wishes, my friend!

Update-the 1972 Type 2 Dollar and 1979-S Type 2 Dime have both sold and the links have been removed. Thanks So Much!!

That's a beautiful example of an absolute classic, Blake. I've always loved that design, but sadly I don't own one. I'd say that was $1,500 very well spent

Oh no......Ratzie33 isn't looking so good............

I wouldn't buy it. It does look suspect to me and you're right......it does look like an S mintmark may have been removed. There are other 1894's out there from sellers who would be a lot more helpful to you than this seller was and that aren't suspect. However, with the 1894, I'd strongly urge you to buy a certified example. Since the 1894-S and 1894-O Morgans are worth a fraction of what the 1894 is in most grades, there's a lot of incentive for a faker to remove the mintmarks from them. With a certified example, you'd have no concerns about the coin.

I'm with Greenstang. It's just damaged.

Hi Roger, Thanks for your input on that. It's truly fascinating!! I appreciate your answer greatly ~Tom

That 2000 Wide AM is a great find Keith!!! Congrats!! And I can imagine you wouldn't be thrilled with a bunch of brand new 2021 cents. That would be very boring to look through.

Indeed they will, Kurt, indeed they will. But it could be from the "Etsy Mint" as well. I'm guessing that both of those esteemed numismatists are big customers of both the Alibaba and Etsy Mints. And who knows? Maybe it'll be an SMS 20 cent piece as well.

That's all right....we all forget things from time to time . Better luck next time!

Indeed it is. And 1927s are so common. When I worked at the coin shop, pretty much anytime someone brought in a double eagle it was a 1924, a 1927 or a 1928. If it wasn't one of those, then the chances were good it was a 1904 Liberty Head. Roger, which one would you say is the absolute most common double eagle? I've read different sources and some say 1924, some say 1927 and some say 1928. Based on my experience working at the coin shop, my vote is with the 1924, but I'd like to hear your input on this issue, of course.

Yep, I have an idea. It's damaged. There's no way what you're seeing happened during the minting process, so it has to be damage.

Nope....definitely not a doubled die. Your coin has machine doubling, which is very common on Lincoln Cents of this era. The fact that the mintmark is doubled is a dead giveaway. On cents before 1990, the mint marks were punched into the die separately after the die was already made. Therefore, a doubled die would not cause any doubling on the mint mark on a pre-1990 cent.

I'm with the others.....that nickel is definitely damaged, no matter where it came from. Nickels got just as damaged in the 1970s as they do now.
