Greenstang may be referring to this but I think it might be an optical illusion.

It appears that someone has spent a proof nickel. Since it is, in my opinion, a proof coin and not a business strike, it would not qualify for the Full Steps designation, if sent in to be graded. (It is assumed that ALL proof Jeffersons would have full steps, since they were struck on a special press, with care taken to produce the fullest strike possible.)

Thank u.....it's pretty shiney considering where I found it...

What is that little rectangle shape on the left side of the steps?

Under the five?    Sorry that's where I zoomed in the pic...

I found this shiny 1953 nickel in a bag of change.  Any exciting info or advice would be great. The steps don't seem to have any breaks.. what do y'all think?

The rim of these dimes look different? I had a few in a row so they all started to blend with my eyes

Thank you.

Any particular topics? I ask because I urge all new collectors other than world coin collectors to get the so-called "Red Book".

Just something to get me started..I enjoy looking at nickels and quarters honestly...

Thank you all for advice.. Very much appreciated

Thank you all.. Hey Karen... No kids n life made me take a little break lol.. Hope all is well...  Thank u so for advice

The ( B) in liberty and the 9 seem to be flawed.. Is it an error? If so what kind?   And when u flip the nickel over it is not correct it is upside down on the back. I'm not sure how to say it now for some reason.. Maybe not stamped properly..

Can anyone suggest a few good books and also a few good sites on the internet to search about coins.. Please n thank u

Thank u for the info

Can anyone tell me about this coin? A friend brought it by..it weighs 31.45 grams...

Anyone know the value and opinions on if I should get it graded. Thank you

The difference is that anything like that coming from the die (the only kind that matters) has to be raised. If it's not raised, it is damage.

Seeing that you don't say, I take it that your referring to the line above the trees. Is it raised or incuse?

Raised I believe. Lol... I'm sorry I just read this comment again..my eyes must playing tricks on me from searching..I read this earlier so wrong..lol..

So incuse means impression on a coin by a stamp , lol. Thanks I'm getting there.. so it's raised correct? Any info would be appreciated still.. Thanks

Copper, the most prevalent metal in a pre -1982 cent, can turn black from oxidation, heat, or contact with sulpher.

Thank you

Don't worry, almost no one does.

Cool.  Thank u..I tried , I'm definitely not a photographer...But I also had a question on these wheat pennies..what causes the penny to turn black? And why is the 1958 have a different coloring than most others? U may not be able to tell by the picture..but the copper is brassy in comparison to other?   Slowly learning myself so I thank u in advance for all help!!

Will do...any suggestions on background for photos.  I never get lightening right? 

I found 1983 spitting eagle ,1985 spitting eagle Delaware spitting horse and a Kansas in God we rust...can anyone tell me there worth?

Thank you.  Yes the 45 is beautiful...n the 42 also. It's just turning a slight yellow color? I'm still learning as I go...I have a few other wartime uncirculated but they have a yellowish tint.. What causes the discoloration? N thanks again

I'll try n take a clearer picture sorry
