    One of my favorites.
    This particular Buff has a strike through grease seen on the reverse on (Five Cents) on the bottom.  I find it interesting and does not distract from the beautiful toning on both sides.  I find it extremely beautiful for a 65.
    Thanks for looking😊

    My collection is a basic type set from the half cent to the Innovation dollar, a 12-piece gold type set, a Peace dollar year set and select Morgan dollars. I also have a complete T1 ASE set in a blue Whitman album and I have a certain number of foreign coins including a nicely toned PCGS 1948 Canada half dollar and a 1951 Great Britain penny in a PCGS 65 holder. Started collecting in 1978.The next year the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market and started the great silver price rise. Of course, gold went right along with the silver price increases.  My mother's best friend had a husband who opened a coin store here in New England and I used to go there with my stepfather who collected. He was a retired navy chief who started collecting coins after suffering a heart attack while stationed in Guam. When I started collecting, ANACS hadn't started grading coins yet and you either had to find a trustworthy dealer or learn how to grade. I very well remember BU Morgan dollars in 2x2s that were really sliders. So, I've seen the TPGS start with ANACS certificates then on to PCGS, NGC, ANACS slabs (1989), ICG, CAC and now CACG. The coins in my sets are in NGC, PCGS, ANACS and a few ICG holders. I've submitted coins to CAC and had 40% to 50 % of them get a green sticker. I have a decent numismatic library and try to continue learning about coins to this day.

    I’ve spent most all of my life collecting coins.  It started with Mercury dimes but all of a sudden, I found beauty in our Buffalo nickels when I was very young, I think I was 11 years old, I am 71 years old now.  My father got me into collecting coins when I was a Cub Scout as I needed a hobby to earn a badge.  He was a coin collector too.   I never, ever thought it would stay with me my entire life. So, I mainly collect buffalo nickels as it still is my passion and I still add to my collection. My coin collection now spans decades has widened out quite a bit.  I like gold coins too.
    Happy hunting to all😊

    When I buy gold or silver coins these days, I always ask the seller to wrap the slab in aluminum foil when they ship. This creates a faraday cage, and masks the gold or silver from metal detectors. All they will detect is aluminum. It's sad that we have to resort to such things, but here we are. Sorry your coin disappeared.

    A $1 trillion platinum coin could save the US from economic catastrophe in less than a month. It would be fast, legal, and no bigger than a regular coin.

    Patently ridiculous.
    If that's an approach to problem-solving, mint a few and solve the neighborly dispute between Russia and Ukraine, fund the mission to Mars and solve the problems of those willing to risk life and limb to cross the Rio Grande.
    If there is anything left over, make it unlawful to drop off feral cats on @RWBs  property.  🤣
