I have 2 new, at least to me, 1c coins I picked up raw in a auction a while back and decided to test my meager grading skills on them. I'm very pleased that my grading matched NGCs, although these aren't part of any particular outstanding pieces. One here and other in Newest U.S. coin forum. Please excuse the poor images.

This forum is primarily for actual sell, buying and trades. Ask the same question here... https://boards.ngccoin.com/forum/90-newbie-coin-collecting-questions/ or ...use the NGC Coin Price guide to assist you.(or feebay, pcgs...and other locations) https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/united-states/ Grading part is going to be a learning curve, the folks in newbie forum are more than happy, most of the time...hahaha, to help. Ed G.

Try the Marketplace Forum, might have better luck.

It appears our host and pcgs decided to give the ASE Type1 and 2 a "value", I'll assume they wait for the dust to settle to determine how many get submitted/graded. NGC currently: Type 1 MS70 reg. label $60 ... Type 2 MS70 reg. label $65 PCGS currently: Type 1 MS70 reg. label $70 ... Type 2 MS70 reg label (no current value)

Go to Ask NGC forum.

Unfortunately that's pretty much the only words or description you'll receive, it's not exactly a great assist for those that are trying to learn regarding this issue. Needless to say somewhere my same question was asked here some time ago....with no defined response.

According to NGC's World Coin Price Guide it is : Specifications Composition: Copper-Nickel Diameter: 20.5mm Design Obverse: National arms, eagle left Reverse: Bust right https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/mexico-estados-unidos-mexicanos-5-centavos-km-426a-1960-1965-cuid-1116306-duid-1427452

I don't think I'd be the person directly under the rhino during a lift, it just begs for a Darwin moment...haha

I have a 1912 G$2½ Indian AU58 and it's current "value" per NGC is $515 and melt @ Melt Value: $221.28 (9/4/2021). Her coin looks to appear a grade or 2 better than mine judging from the "slightly fuzzy" images. Definitely not a melt. Once you hit the MDS62 grade and up the value increases quite a bit. The 1911's are the highest value in this date range. The 1903 I can only refer you to Coin Explorer here. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/liberty-head-10-1838-1907-pscid-67/1903-10-ms-coinid-18752

@Hoghead515 "On August 16, 1960 Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom" hence the 1960 date, 1963 is the actual date of the coin. In 1963, the Republic of Cyprus began to issue its first coins. These were struck at the Royal Mint in London. The coins in the 1963 issue consisted of the following: 1 mil, 5 mils, 25 mils, 50 mils, and 100 mils. Source: Coins of the Cypriot pound - Wikipedia

I suppose I should clarify my statement. When referring to prices I meant what the TPGs charge. NGC just recently increased their fees and given when the time comes for reselling, or even researching, the bulk of the work has been done. I can't see grading services getting any less expensive so I'd rather pay a lower fee now as opposed to a higher fee later. Ed G.

Nuttin' special but I got this raw some time ago and decided to get it graded/encapsulated so when the times comes, hopefully a long time, my kids/grand-kids(maybe great grand-kids??) will have a easier time dealing with what I left behind. I figure do it now at these prices because hard telling where they'll be in the future. A 1945 MEXICO G2.5P RESTRIKE NGC MS 66

Well, I guess my guess what waaaaay off ... haha. thank you for clarifying

I'm guessing but I'm leaning towards a Aviation union token/coin. Was she or another older family member by chance have a job related to Aviation ?

Probably one of the nicer profile depictions seen on a coin/medal/commemorative and The Rev eagle gives the appearance of "hit me, I can take it" Very nice eye appeal !

Just a observation ... charge your phone

Try posting in the Main forum page, you should get more eyes on it. https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/forum/6-us-world-and-ancient-coins/

I'd seriously consider it if I wasn't suppose to be chasing the 59-D 5c down and a few world coins of 59'. Perhaps another day.

@Hoghead515Coin explorer has it as: Composition: Copper-Nickel Clad Copper Weight: 5.6700g Diameter: 24.3mm Edge: Reeded

Received my , seems like daily, promotional email from the Mint and this was for the 2.5oz Coast Guard silver metal. I have to admit I kinda like it, not so much the price, as it shows the ship forging forward through the seas. It's sort of dramatic in the way its presented. "USCGC Hamilton (WMSL-753) is the fourth Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. She is the fifth cutter named after Alexander Hamilton, who was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and in that position requested the formation of the United States Coast Guard."

If you follow the NGC link and scroll towards the bottom of the page it will describe to you the difference on PF, PF C and PF UC. The Cameo and Ultra Cameo will generally bring in more value and they can be quite attractive also. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale/

Luv the Merc, just enough smattering of toning to highlight the rest of the obverse. 👍

So, finally received my 3 PF's in the mail. This at least completes my 59' PF set along with assisting a few other sets. The search for a quality, affordable,1959-D 5c continues. 😋

Checked them out, they do have some nice coins but I'm strictly after the 1959-D 5c to complete my Birth year set Thanks though !
