Hi everyone, just came across this 34th edition red book at a thrift store for 2 bucks. Are these good to keep , I'm just curious because by reading through this book and comparing a few things to the newer red books, this 34th edition has better details and a little more information on coins than your newer red books. I know these are collectable and all out fails we can fall back on these for better information on coins. My question, is it a good thing to have these around. Does people still use these for better education. Or do we just stick with and go by the newer red books. What's interesting is I was more excited about this red book than I was buying a coin, couldn't wait to get it home and read it. That might sound a little funny, but it's true. Thanks, Joe

My niece was right, we came to the conclusion way back that if we found something cool rare or whatever, its going to be in poor/damage shape. But we're going to put this in a 2x2 flip and just know we have one. The coin has a big gashe on the nose. PMD. It's way harder to find a decent gem in circulation. Still hunting though.

It says Littleton Co. On it. I bought it that way at a pawnshop. And a couple of other proofs. Also a few liberty head nickels.

My bad it was the plastic. Sorry about that, I'll know next time to take it out and get a better look.

Thanks JP, didn't know that. Cool to know.

Thanks Coinbuf, I'll take another pic of it before I transfer it to a 2x2 flip.

I'm not really sure to say die chip or die crack on this. Its the line between F-S on reverse. Doing research I'm coming up with that, it would be hard for die cracks to appear on proof coins, but does happen time to time. It is in plastic wrapper so I took the best pics I can until I break it out and put the coin in a 2x2 flip. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated thanks.

Hi, Modwriter the hit is a line going from the JFM initials up to the chin of the portrait under the walking plank. I think that spot on the nose is normal. All the one's I'm looking at has that. Hmmm

Hi everyone, I have a really cool one here. I feel I'm right when I say (PMD) on this coin. The line going from designer's initials to the chin of portrait is incuse. making me think it took a hit which happened with a unknown object before it was put in the case. I've been working on this and at first thought maybe die crack or doubling untilI was really studying it. I love learning, I'm crossing my fingers that I'm right on this one. Thanks

Thanks Tom, yeah I'm trying to fill slots in my album. I actually traded a 1938 s and one of my tokens for this one. Each of my album's are all circulate coins. But most were found in pocket change or roll hunting. I was going over it before I put it away.

Thank's guys appreciate the help, I kind of figured it had to do something with the heavy circulation.

I know this coin is on its last limb , it has seen it's days lol. Would this be considered something or is that not a S showing. I think my eyes are fooling with me. Thanks with any info.

Thanks G, DDD it is. Just making sure.

Hey everyone, so I'm looking at this and my close ups aren't doing any justice. so I pulled out the scope and thought I seen something unusual with the naked eye. And the scope sees what I see. But I don't like to use scopes because they can be tricky at times. My question is did this coin take a hit, or did the MM just move/pushed towards the rim. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Don't know, but still trying to figure out how they turned goose eggs into gold. Lol. Once I find out then surely I'll let out the secret.

Thought I would share this one also, I don't find silver dimes in rolls especially with a error on it. Thought this one was a pretty cool find. Happy hunting everyone.

Finally found the "Golden Ticket". It also has i think possibly a die chip, between UNI and arm. I could get 1,000+ on esty, if interested please don't low ball me I know what I have ahahahah lol. please take advice on here ,don't believe anything on esty

Thanks Tom, I think you're right a plating blister getting ready to turn into Zinc rot.

Hi everyone, I'm looking at this coin and coming to the the conclusion that these are air bubbles. Looking at the 2006 in the photo I put on here and looking at mine , that would be a air bubble wouldn't it. I really didn't find anything on a 94 but this is the closest I got. If anyone has more to add, please help me learn more thanks. Joe

Thanks Mike, hmmm. have to look in deeper on this one. I pretty sure it's Philadelphia mint. But I'll keep searching.

Hi everyone, I have this token and wondering , was this made during the minting process or could this be plated after it left the mint. I can find this token online, but nothing looking like this one. This came in a plastic 2x2 flip, with a plastic cover for the obverse and reverse of the token. I don't think those did any justice, but cool. Just asking because I see alot of coins out there being plated, and alot of collector's look down on that, especially on coins. Thanks

Hope this helps a little bit.

I know it's not the kind of doubling on the ear that's out there. There's actually something going on inside the ear itself. Pretty interesting this piece is. Hmmm. Idk I could be seeing things again lol.

Hey everyone, I'm thinking this might be die clash under Lincoln's bust. I did the overlay and it's pretty close. I've seen other cents like this but was said they we're die chips. And what's interesting is under the MM. Could that be lamination. Hmm. Any help would be great thanks.

Yes it's a half dime, Bob was right. I was just giving him a hard time. Was just wondering how long I can keep the riddle going with more ideas out there.
