Wow,a great picture of the elusive yeti! Is that Miss Earhart with him? What is the coin he is holding in the other hand? I cannot quite make it out.

It is difficult to say for certain, but it likely will slow down or stabilize if kept in a proper environment. Rember that all toning, patina, oxidation, or whatever one chooses to call it is caused by being in a bad environment.

It is a nice coin, is it yours?

I know I am late to the party.

I would far rather regret not buying a coin then regret buying it.

I don't know if I should say this as the last time I gave my opinion I was informed I was senselessly bashing. I would not pay more than 15 money for it. I think it is too optimistic at 20.

@CoinbufForget it. Just forget it. I shant come here again

Too bad, I was hoping there was a good reason for your baseless bashing post.    This is the registry section of the forum, and the competitive registry is built around awarding points for the coin that are used.   The higher the grade the more points, therefore I see no reason why a member could not discuss the points when discussing an upgrade, but that is just my thinking.   Thanks for clearing that up.

...Sighs deeply...

I come here from time to time to try to understand what it is about all this that makes coin collectors forget about coins and fixate on points, and label numbers. I have feared for almost forty years what grading and slabbing would bring. I guess dissent is just baseless bashing. So I will just move along with the realization that like fashion all coin collecting takes anymore is looks and a whole lot of money. I hope you enjoy the competition.

So are you saying that you find the MS66 example to display better eye appeal than the new MS67 coin?

never said anything close to that.

He still has Chucky Cheese ears

Sorry, this is what I hate about slabs and the registry. It has become more about the number on the label rhen the coin,and that makes things more of a spitting contest than an attempt to have a collection of coins that pleases.

But, just my thinking.

Again, sorry 

1. New Rochelle

2. Maine

3. Gettysburg

Just what I like

I cannot tell for sure what it is but at that size I doubt if it would carry any premium at all.

I do not see where some people are coming ftom....If someone wishes to collect contemporary counterfeits then what is to stop them from paying what they wish?

No one here has anything to say about what is worthy of collecting. Some of us collect gold roosters, some gold angels (that are realy genuises, not angels), some collect liards, while others collect 18th century fakes, it is all about what pleases the collector, nothing else

I would not accept that as five full steps. 

I admit that I am fussy when calling full steps, they must be clear with no bridges, dings, or fades. 

Your coin looks to have a bridge under the second column from the left.

It is a nicecoin, just not full steps

guess I am blind. I don't see it.

And I thought that public whining was a phenomena of the last half of the 20th century.

It is probably unconstitutional and it is unworkable.  

 

 

 

Counties in Florida used to have tangible and intangible taxes (I no longer live there so do not know if they are still in force) so I doubt they are unconstitutional, and they are workable. This is basically an intangible tax.

Um not for my collection

It means I have to change my collecting tactics now..

it goes not.

Collecting is for enjoyment, if you are getting coins for any other reason you have stepped into a different realm. 

why do people think every little die crack or over polished die needs a name?

Geeez...What did I do to deserve the publicity?  Is there a theme or special section or something? I truly did not know this was coming.

Thanks to members for your nice comments !

if someone were to give me a theme it would,with my luck, be Entrance of the Gladiator by Fucik

Being a “professional” is no guarantee of competence. My ex-wife and “mother of my son”’s best friend forever was Taylor Swift’s first vocal teacher, back when Taylor lived in Wyomissing, PA. That vocal teacher dismissed Taylor as “not very talented at all”. Yeah. Uh huh. Right. She still is the Director of Vocal Music at that school district. 

I do not doubt that the coach was, and is, correct. 
Pop music, no mater what genre, and talent do not necessarily go hand and hand.

I also do not doubt that the dealer who said this was mint damage is wrong.

As in all things, one must be their own advocate.

is it worth much?

Well, I have a half dozen chicken runs and goat run that are thawing out, and that coin is worth everything you can dig out of them.

Have any of you ever be on a cruise?

The ones that I went on would have nickel slots and when they paid out there would be bright shiny coins flashing in the light as they fell. Every single one would look like this coin.  They were cleaned and polished every time before they were put in the machines. So my first guess is that you have the wrong laundry machine in mind.
