Coinbuf

One cent, it says so right there on the reverse. Ok I could not resist, a coin in that condition, obviously circulated and with a corrosion spot on the reverse, is truly only worth a few cents, maybe up to 25 cents to the right person, more likely less than 10 cents to the majority. If you had a red book you would easily be able to determine which coins are low mintage and might be worth a premium vs the common and low value coins, which is really the bulk of 21st century coins.

If you plan to collect coins you need one. If your plan is to not get one and ask a billion questions that can easily be answered by using a simple reference book, like a red book, you might find that some members (myself included) will become tired and may start to ignore your posts. Give a man a fish fed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he can feed himself, a Guide Book of United States Coins, commonly referred to as a red book (due to the red cover) is an invaluable tool for a coin collector. I've been collecting for 40+ years and still use my red book often.

Because it was minted at Philadelphia. Do you have a copy of the red book?

You have the common large date of which millions were minted. Search for a small date if you like, so far there have only been two found after 40 years, you have better odds of winning the lottery than finding a SD.

My thoughts are basically the same as they have been all along with regards to CACG, I have only made one submission for grading. But from my results and those that I have read about, CACG is grading much closer to the historical ANA standards and less like the top two TPG's who are all-in on market grading. There have been a few entertaining threads recently on the PCGS forum with a very recently former PCGS grader weighing in on those discussions, his comments and thought processes make it very clear just how much PCGS has embraced market grading. Oddly while NGC did some damage to its reputation by being the first to embrace market grading, I would say that PCGS leads the charge in that respect today. While it is far too early to make any long-term calls, as I explain in my comments above CACG's grading is not like the big two. CACG does put a stronger emphasis on not rewarding rub, be it from circulation of from stacking/cabinet friction, with MS grades which is a very different strategy than the big two. Likewise unoriginal surfaces are not rewarded at CACG where the big two have been prone to looking the other way in the past. That is not to say that there will be zero MS coins with rub in a CACG MS holder, nothing is ever 100%. And it is way too early to know if CACG will be able to continue to adhere to these standards moving forward or for how long. But I for one am happy to see a TPG service that values originality and unmolested surfaces over the many processed and worked on coins that you see. I 100% agree with you that the coin hobby/business has been heavily financialized and that has in part been facilitated by market grading. In all honesty, the people we see like mustacheman, and vasquez are the products of this financialization, and that is partly why I give them no quarter or respect. People like them do not present, to me at least, that they are here to learn or collect only strip-mine.

I'd prefer not to be punished on two forums. But yes I'm sure that they would receive a warm welcome there too.

I will be surprised if any update is ever reported. Not that one is really needed, the reply to his request on the ask NGC section tells us all we really need to know.

Nowhere, what you seek is not available, graders generally do not make notes of coins they grade and the grading companies do not publish any information related to any individual coin or the grading of any individual coin. Welcome to the forum.

Congrats on being in the top spot! I happily hand over the crown.

My buddy duck boy sent me another love note, so special this guy is.

I was thinking they would be great in a reboot of the three stooges.

Wow you were really close on this one, stellar grading on your part. In your little love note you sent to me earlier you said you "pay attention to the fine details that most newer collectors will miss". I guess it's the big details, like circulation wear vs uncirculated that you miss.

To echo above all your coins are large date coins worth face value only. I do not know who or perhaps where you read that checking your 1982 coins was a good idea, but as greenstang said you have a better chance of winning the lottery than of ever finding an 82-D small date. I'm not trying to discourage you from looking, please do so, just don't get your hopes up that you'll be retiring soon.

I love this guy, he was kind enough to send me this little love letter today.

They would be better off with a mustard stain contest.

I have seen nothing of your posts here to be jealous of duck man. But maybe if you give the forum some better moon shots of this nickel you can get the help you so desperately need. You would think that someone in their teens would know how to use a cellphone camera.

You claim to be such an expert why don't you tell us.

There is nothing wrong with asking your question here, however, NGC representatives do not normally respond to questions in this section of the forum. If you want an answer from a formal representative of NGC you need to ask your question in the ASK NGC section of the forum. Normally if NGC is at a show they do accept submissions, but there have been exceptions.

Well you got one thing correct.

I suggest you do not hold your breath while waiting.

Well you do have a sparkling personality as you have shown here, but your shocking lack of numismatic acumen would make meeting up a complete yawn event for me so I will pass on your gracious offer and simply continue to watch the clown show from here. But please don't let that stop you from wasting more of your money on another circus submission, I assume that you will keep us in the loop as to how you do with this obviously circulated common Buffalo like you have with your other coin, yes.

Not these Buffalos, but something just as ridiculous, check it out Here

I think you have no clue what you are doing and are a constant source of laughter. So how did that submission you did turn out anyway.

I want to hit like, but that fingerprint toning.
