    Posted · Edited by jgrinz

    First one if real ( Cannot tell from those pictures ) is supposed to be a 

    1903 G$1 LA Purchase, McKinley (Regular Strike) - Gold - Weight would be helpful to determine fake or not

    Second as it says on the label is a 1888 Liberty Nickel - Looks to be real and Nice UNC/MS condition

    1888 Liberty Head Nickel - About 10mil made Depending on condition may be worth Grading and slabbing

    Well I've got 53 years worth in so far, how about you?

    A true antique complete with varnish -  :-)

    I think he may have been mocking himself on that statement - Its the way I took it. Making fun of himself for not researching the question before asking.

    I may be wrong

    Okay @Mason254, now you're just embarrassing yourself. I'm through with you. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RUNNING ACROSS AN ULTRA RARITY JUST LYING AMONG OTHER PIECES. All you have here is a normal MS64-ish 1964 Kennedy Half. If I had a dime for every time some new collector talked himself into believing they have found some ultra-rarity, I'd be a dime specialist. Just look at the comments below that Coinweek article. EVERYBODY thinks they have one, and no one there actually does, and you @Mason254, have joined their ranks. Do you even KNOW what having a "sharp square rim" is? The one in your picture doesn't have it. This is why I say STOP IT! You're into YouTube misinformation territory here, pal. Your last three threads are about a small letter Flying Eagle that was NOT one, a "Cud Error" that was NOT one, and now this. Strike three, you're out!

     

    We've got another dude with a 1966 dryer coin that's worth gazillions in HIS mind, and another who thinks he's got a 1958 silver nickel. All these guys are simply delusional.

    Breathe … :-) 

    Oh yeah plus its been cleaned nastily

    That's a very minor error that likely resulted from gas trapped within the copper-nickel alloy. When compressed by the dies it can form bubbles just under the surface.

    While interesting this is not something that NGC would attribute as a mint error unless it is quite severe.

    Thanks DW
