  1. 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what you seek is not available, graders generally do not make notes of coins they grade and the grading companies do not publish any information related to any individual coin or the grading of any individual coin.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.
  2. Congrats on being in the top spot! I happily hand over the crown.
  3. My buddy duck boy sent me another love note, so special this guy is.
  4. I was thinking they would be great in a reboot of the three stooges.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I love this guy, he was kind enough to send me this little love letter today.
  8. They would be better off with a mustard stain contest.
  9. 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.
  10. You claim to be such an expert why don't you tell us.
  11. 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.
  12. I suggest you do not hold your breath while waiting.
  13. 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.
  14. Not these Buffalos, but something just as ridiculous, check it out Here
  15. 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.
  16. I want to hit like, but that fingerprint toning.
  17. Not a real book, just something that one of the PCGS forum members came up with to mock all the ridiculous I found a fortune in my pocket change threads that pop up there.
  18. Photos taken with the coin inside many plastic holders and cardboard 2X2's like yours generally have too much glare to see anything as minor as many RPM's (repunched mint marks). There are scores of RPM's for the many dates throughout the entire Lincoln coins series (as well as other coin series). I suggest that you bookmark the site Variety Vista, here is a link to the home page. VV home site As you scroll down the home page you will see tabs for doubled dies and RPM's for most of the very commonly collected series. For this coin click on the 09-58 RPM tab and you will see a list by date, select 57-D and you will see all the known RPM's for this date and mm. Big tip, the most important RPM's will be listed at the top and with an FS number, if there is no FS number then it is considered as minor and there will not be much if any collector interest in it. Spoiler alert, there are no FS attributed RPM's for 57-D; but there are a number of D/D/D RPM's and hopefully you can find a match. The numeral one in the date looks to have taken a hit. it could also possibly be a minor strike through, but it's not possible for me to tell from the photo taken in the 2X2 due to the glare.
  19. Sorry to hear that, are you sure its really missing, what does the USPS tracking say? For sure keep the coin in your NGC and PCGS active inventory and report the loss to NCIC as @Sandon noted above as well as to the postal system. I would also register the coin in the CAC database, the more places you have it listed as yours the better the odds that you will be notified if anyone tries to register it.
  20. Not cuds, blobs of extra metal on a coin are only called cuds when it happens around the rim. Here is the definition of a cud quoted from error-ref.com, "Definition: A cud is a die break that involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field or design.". It could be the result of die chips, but I seem to recall reading about a similar looking issue that was given a different cause/name. I'll see if I can find that and link to it if I can locate it.
  21. You are posting in the wrong place, you need to post your registry set wants in the registry section of the forum for it to be reviewed by the NGC registry team. Complain here if you want change
  22. You posted this same post last fri, repeating yourself is not likely to receive a different answer. Your coin has already been evaluated by a very reputable TPG and they determined it to be a zinc core cent. From your photos I see every reason to believe that opinion and absolutely no evidence to not. By filing the rim the coin is forever damaged and even if you did have (which you don't) the third example of an 82-D small date, it will never straight grade at any of the four reputable TPG's.
  23. Did you look at any reference photos of what a true 69-S DDO looks like? There will be no doubt when you see the real deal, it is almost as dramatic and easy to spot as the 55/55. Here is a photo of the real deal from the PCGS coinfacts page, as you can see your coin is not like the real deal.
