    Mohawk got a reaction from James Zyskowski in Sabotage or equipment failure?   
    I've found a few.  They're kind of interesting.  There's a couple I'll keep (especially the one my Dad found and gave to me and one other one with special meaning) but I may sell the other ones I found soon.  There are just too many Faustina the Younger coins out there and I have to fund them somehow!!

    That's a nice one Lem!!  My fiancée likes Barbers quite a bit, so I have a bit of a soft spot for them as a result.  That's a great pickup!! Thanks for sharing it!

    Mohawk reacted to RWB in 1976-D Bicentennial Quarter Weighs 5.48   
    On the "heavy" quarters, the drum sticks are replaced by "drum sticks" made from French roosters.

    Close examination of many "light" bicentennial quarters will reveal that the drummer has lost his drum sticks. That accounts for the short weight.... or, so I read on the internet....or was that Wally Breen...?

    Mohawk reacted to VKurtB in CAC service ?   
    I absolutely HATE the entire concept of CAC and I refuse to consider it even marginally legitimate. Just my opinion.

    Mohawk reacted to Coinbuf in What is meant by 'walkthrough'?   
    That is the tier for the mega rare uber expensive coins, very expensive but also very quick.   When you have a very expensive coin that has a value over 10K this is the tier it must be submitted under, also this tier can also be used if you are incredibly impatient and must have your coin graded as quickly as possible and are willing to pay the high fee.   Of course paying $200 to grade a $1 coin pretty much defines the phrase money to burn in my book.

    There are so many for the 1921-P you will have a new hobby just finding that one.

    Your coin has prominent clash marks on the reverse - the vertical lines just under the motto are from Liberty's throat. A sideways "V" shape between wing and wreath on the right is also from the same clash. On VAMworld search under the "1921 P" category. You might also consider posting better photos on their message board and ask from members' help.
    Morgan and Peace dollar die varieties can add a new twist to your collecting - just avoid the rabbit hole and the fellow offering tea.

    Welcome to the forum, the nickel in your photos is discolored and you are experiencing pareidolia.   Like when you see your dog's face in a cloud, it looks like a two just by happenstance there is nothing actually there other than the substance that stained the coin.

    If anyone finds any sideway RPM “W” mintmark quarter stamped over P or D mintmark quarters those were made by me too . Very very rare I only made 3 of them with a special W punch tool and ball peen hammer . I got frustrated I couldn’t find any “W” quarters so I made my own and plan on sending them into grading to get my own variety for them . I left them on my night stand one day but my wife used them in a vending machine never gotten around to making some more RPM “w” quarters

    I agree 100% with Rummy13 but I will always applaud and support a collector.  The problem being, and pay attention to VKurtB, who gives a clear look at the US Mint in Philadelphia who is selling Class B ASEs to collectors at Class A prices.  Do not be surprised if, after a few years, your encapsulated (NGC, PCGS) ASEs developed spots.  It seems this is the 'nature of the beast'.  Good luck but I would just hold them in their original packing.

    You can sell coins on here as well but silver eagles may either be a hit or miss on here unless it’s 70 graded you might get lucky with someone building a registry set that will buy it … EBay or great collection can take care of your selling needs if you price it right it will probably sell but not guaranteed , theres also MA-shops but that is a more tight knitted dealer site not just open to any random person who prefers to sell coins on there unlike EBay
