  1. That is one scary cent. The obverse has three scary images.It is a Halloween cent. Anyone else see what I'm seeing?
  2. Save your graded coins for your great great grandchildren.What was your lowest grade coin? MS67 Grade is excellent!
  3. I would NOT submit your quarter. It may come back with a DETAILS Damaged designation, and would not be a good investment.
  4. Yes, somebody started a low ball thread awhile back that got me interested in them. I am working on a Seated Liberty Quarter P01 set. The P01 coins can be quite pricey and I haven't seen them at auction yet, but selling on eBay.
  5. Thanks. I now see that my collecting junk coins can lead to misconception and confusion with new collectors and will not ask if their junk coin is for sale from now on. Yes, my junk collection has come from my pocket change. No fun in making my own. I do buy graded coins at auction, usually in the MS65-66 range, but have a fascination with low ball sets.
  6. I am looking to buy @Erin33's quarter if it is for sale for my junk collection.
  7. @EagleRJO do you know the year of the nickel? I can see the 19. The last two digits may be 84?
  8. West Coast here too. Do the mints make their dies in-house? Do they make their planchets in house? I ordered a complete set of the Philadelphia state quarters for a folder that I'm working on from Littleton and they all were in MS condition. I had most of the Denver coins. I have noticed the PL appearance on circulated coins since the 2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware quarter.
  9. Nice! A couple of moon cents! Do you have a junk collection? I've just started a junk collection. The worst of the worst.
  10. No, not weird. Before I got that moon cent, I returned them them back to my bank in rolls. What makes me feel bad is finding a coin that is perfect on one side and flip it over and there are nicks and scratches. I'm sure every coin collector has that happen. I got some change today but none were worthy of my junk jar.
  11. Start a junk coin collection for your own amusement. I just started my junk collection with this "moon" cent that I got in change and have added a few ragged dimes. Anybody else have a junk coin collection?
  12. Thanks again. I have seen a dime and a nickel so far in the proof sets that would not grade higher than a PF65 but most would grade PF67+. I did receive a cracked holder 2021 proof set from the Mint. I did buy another set from somebody else but may send the coins from the cracked proof set in for grading someday.
