Honestly, no I cannot think of any feature or reason that I would need or want to cause me to switch from what I currently use. It is less about the tech or learning a new system but simply because I'm not young anymore and I have and will continue to collect less and less in the coming years. Some folks just like to try the new hotness or be on the edge of technology, I'm not one of those people; I'm in the "if it isn't broke don't fix it" crowd.

That is all fine, except that this thread is about a 1921P Morgan . For someone just stacking silver or who likes shiny things then this coin can fit the bill, but anyone that wants a 1921P Morgan for any numismatic value or purpose would (should) avoid this badly whizzed coin.

@RaritiesValue.com I have followed your post on the PCGS forum. You have a nice well thought out program/product, for myself I use the NGC registry software and my trusty Excel spreadsheet. These have served me well in managing and tracking my coin collection, I do not see myself altering that at the current time. I do think your program will be of great value, particularly to new collectors that do not have an established system.

Great copper everyone.

I think @Mr.Bill347 is correct, your second photo clearly shows the mm. The mm on the die had gotten filled with some grease or debris and the result is a very lightly impressed mm. A very common occurrence, it is technically an error but it is so common that there is no real significance to a small struck thru like this.

I know @Jason Abshier is a collector of German coinage and @Fenntucky Mike is knowledgeable on world coins, hopefully one or both of those fellows can be of assistance.

the Blakesley is not required for a straight clip because a straight clip happens when the blank is punched rather than in the press. But I have seen some straight clips with the Blakesley effect, I assume it happens when the coin is struck because of the blank not being round. But I am not an expert on this area or effect and I may be wrong on that.

Actually, this looks like a legit straight clip, the opposing side shows a clear Blakesley effect and there is the proper tapering of the rim next to the clip.

Some cool coins your father collected, I know nothing about world coinage so I cannot be of any help with these, but that 10 Pfennig sure looks interesting.

Congrats, it is always nice to fill in that empty spot, especially if you have been looking for a bit.

Looking at the photos on VV that @J P M linked, those all look to me like die chips or very minor cuds. The op's coin just looks like die erosion to me but it might be worth posting on the CONECA forum for additional feedback.

Just to add to what @Sandon wrote, you can create your own custom set where you can list as many examples or duplicates of any coin or specific date/mm. But in the competitive registry you can only have one coin per slot. You can if you like rotate the duplicates in a competitive set, but one coin only is visible at a time.

Yep just damaged, a spender.

So you plagiarized the NGC website and did not give credit where credit is due, what a surprise. Sorry, I'm sure that plagiarized is too big a word since your vocabulary is limited to four letter words; here is the definition of plagiarism from the on-line Merriam-Webster dictionary. Notice how I have given proper credit where credit is due. " to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source" The question is why did you start this thread at all, you put forth no new information since you just plagiarized the first part and then gave extremely poor investment advice. Actually, this post does make sense, it is a perfect reflection of you.

And yet you found a way to include lots of misinformation in your own op. The Liberty nickel series has never been "widely collected by date and mint" as you erroneously state in the op. Bty, do let me know if big words like erroneously are too much for you, I'll be sure to sue more like it. A quick search of the NGC registry shows 469 Liberty nickel sets compared to 1,480 Buffalo nickel sets and 6,000 Jefferson nickel sets, but sure you go on believing that Lib nickels are widely collected. Dang you cannot even put together your own thread without filling it up with misinformation and garbage. And since I expect that this is too advanced information for you to comprehend, the entire coin market has gone up since covid, so yes Lib nickels have risen in prices some because a rising tide lifts all boats.

Poor mike, trying so hard to be one of the cool kids, so pathetic but you would need a brain first. Did you play the straw man in The Wizard of Oz, I can just see you wandering around your overpass muttering "if I only had a brain"

Great site with tons of information, glad to see people that use it.

I am going to throw in a wild card, just because I just had Mark Goodman take some photos of this girl and I want to. This was originally bought in 2002 raw and is still raw today.

It might have been a die chip, however what I see is just from wear, not an error and has no numismatic value over face value.

It would help if you could provide an image of the packaging you are referring to. The Heritage I know of is a collectables auction company, however, there are and have been some private mints that have coined some items. Coins or medals that are coined in private mints are not always eligible for grading and encapsulation by a TPG like NGC.

You have what is commonly called an Indian Head Cent often abbreviated as IHC. This coin was minted in 1859 and was a one year type with the laurel wreath reverse, in 1860 the reverse design was changed to include a shield, the shield reverse design was then used until 1909 when the IHC was replaced with the Lincoln cent. It is impossible to determine if your coin is genuine from just this one photo, however, in this very poor condition the coin is only worth a few dollars. Welcome to the forum.

The information that Sandon provided is correct, the only Matte finish cents were produced in 1909 and the early to mid twenty teens. You coins are well circulated coins that have been cleaned in the past and have acquired some tone color from how they were stored. While some people would like this look experienced collectors would generally not be interested in these coins as they have no numismatic value, they are worth around three or four cents each which is the current market value of the copper each coin contains.

You may want to read her other threads before making that assumption, I get the impression that she may not.

The only packaging that NGC will allow submitters to submit coins in is official US mint packaging, everything else you need to submit each coin in individual (non PVC) 2-1/2 X 2-1/2 plastic flips. You should be able to find these on-line or at a local coin shop.
