Sandon is an amazing info machine. Goldfinger, I'm betting the 'over', 5 1/2 years. Patient, dedicated, relentless.

GC is my preferred buying and selling site by far. Good luck Tyrock.

Thanks Equilibrium for the obverse and reverse description pics. I was a bit confused which was which.

Welcome to the NGC Forum! A 'spender is a coin that has no extra value, so if you don't want to keep it, you can spend it. Your new pic came in as I was typing, much better pic of the damage. Other comments will follow, have patience, as it might take a few days for members to view it. While you are waiting for responses, I recommend that you read at the very top of this Newbie Coin questions area the thread entitled, 'What you need to know before posting coins for enquiry'. You will enjoy it and will help you on your future coin world journey.

GBrad, you need to check in more frequently. You're talking about the old Hog, not the new Hog. Advancing quick, he'll be publishing a book by at least 2027.

I was only 8 grades off. I'm improving!

A Wild guess, AU55. With my track record, that means it's probably MS63. Nice coin either way. --- Thanks for posting this and the last few, liven it up a little around here.

Cleaned at some point, AU 53. Since I'm 0/1000 on grading, probably. XF45 or AU55.

Yes, one of the 'good guys'. RIP.

Thanks a lot VKurtB, now I can't get the Black Velvet tune out of my head, constantly and silently humming it in my head all morning. Lol.

Merry Christmas to the gang!

Debatable pigeonman333rd, debatable.

Considering $400 to $600 per coin, worth it.

Again, thanks for the question RWB, keeping us amused. Keep them coming occasionally as you usually do.

Everyone notices different identifiers, but for me I can tell from the shape of the '2' from across the room.

All I can think of is humorous reasons. San Fran should have plenty of sawdust, so it must be sawdust from trees around the Pa. area that are special, so I'll go with zadoks idea, to dry wet blanks or similar. MS gold has too many marks on them to have been protected.

Sandon, on your #3 above, you said that many of your coins including some rare ones are ungraded and will probably remain so. I have two friends that think the same as you. One friend in particular, I suggested he get several of them graded just so people will know that there are more 'survivors' than previously known. He won't budge. I mentioned that any coin individually worth over 100k should be graded at least for insurance purposes. No, he won't budge. So, that's that.

If you recall what you read in the 'what you need to know before posting coins for inquiry' thread at the top, you have to post pictures of both complete sides of the coin, obverse and reverse.

If Six Mile Rick doesn't have those two, then I surely don't. LOL. That said, I'll go get my five gallon bucket of dimes and look for those two dates and go from there. Possibilities are next to none, but I'm energyless today with nothing to do but that, not to mention hopefully help out a man that has contributed so much to our numismatic community. I wish I had a graded example to give to him for free, but I don't. Here I go.

My best find, I thought, was a 1931 S cent from the Sonic drive through one night. I proudly posted it but the S was added on, a fake. I super glued it on my doorbell button.

The 'Dollar' parents naming their children Morgan is the coolest name ever. ----- I wish someone in the Treasury Dept or Secret Service was an avid enough of a hobbyist to call whoever they contracted to do the counterfeit investigating to look into a few of the scammers who are making so much money. That 1878 Morgan MS68 is over the top unbearable to look at. I have a cousin who was a big dog at the Treasury in Kansas City for decades. He worked 3 years past when he could have retired because he enjoyed his job so much. One of our family reunions is in Overland Park Ks this March during spring break, I can't wait to discuss counterfeiting with him. (Instead of typing Secret Service I originally abbreviated as SS, it just didn't look right. LOL)

Elon knows.

A enjoyable story indeed. Making me smile.

After reading again, you're right. I was referring to the last paragraph.
