Im no grader by no means. Im very new collector. I just want to take a stab at it. Im very unexperienced so don't hold it against me. Im gonna say ms 65

I worded that a little bit wrong. Lol. We watch the older TV shows on. A whole lot of Little House on the Prairie and stuff like that. Cant hardly watch the new shows. Some of them are plum vulgar for little ones to see.

Old Fred was a dandy. That to this day is still one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Him and old Archie Bunker.

I like the 2 dollars and 10 cents the best. Thats a lovely set.

I was going to try to get one of those but they sold out on me.

I like NGC's slabs and labels a whole lot better also. Everyone has their own opinions but when I plan on buying a coin already graded I try my best to find it in an NGC slab. Unless its a great deal and a very nice coin and then I will buy one in PCGS. As far as having them graded ive never submitted any to PCGS. All the ones I have sent in to NGC ive been more than happy with the results. So I figured im gonna stay here unless something drastic happens.

Same here. I can't afford to buy the big dollar coins. The ones I usually buy it is cheaper for me to buy them already slabbed. I get some graded. Like my v75 ASE and v75 silver medal. Also u know what your getting most the time when they are already graded.

As I look back on this post I worded it wrong. Thats what I meant was mis aligned die. Not struck off center. I used a poor choice of words. Or rotated die. I also meant degrees instead of percent. I think it has to be more than 15 degrees off to be considered an error. I may be wrong. If I am someone will call me out and tell us the correct answer. They get to where they are worth a little more when they get 45 degrees off or more.

I think they are allowed to be so far off center before they will recognize them as so. Im not sure how much it is. I think like 25 to 30 % just guessing. Im not sure on that but I think im close. Someone will be on here to help you in a few. But yours isn't off enough where they will recognize it. Its fairly normal. I got several slabbed lincolns like that.

They will have to assign a pedigree to them. The Ratziee sms hoard. Lol.

Yep. The only one that went quick was the one I sent in Express. The other ones seemed like it took forever. Its hard telling how many they have to grade in a day.

I like those old shows. Any more all the newer shows on TV are plumb filth. We watch alot of them with our kids when they aren't on the cartoons.

They have been a little behind. I sent one in while back and it took over a week to change.

Lol. Ive never seen so many sms's in my life. Ratzie hit the jackpot.

It means full torch. Where all the bands are completely visible on the torch

Looks like someone coated it with something. It may just be the way the pic looks. Kinda looks like a clear coat or something like that on it. Glossy looking. But my eyes are bad about lying to me.

They are getting better at counterfeiting them gold bars. I got one of the pamp suisse bars. I checked it after I saw your post. It came back as a legit one. Its just a 1 gram bar. I dont think they would waste their time on the small ones, I wouldn't imagine anyway. I suppose they could but everything I saw they was mostly the larger ones like the 1 oz. I checked the little feller anyways. I watched a video and man if a person didn't know what to look for he'd get robbed. They are making the pamp suisse packaging and everything identical.

I wish I had that kind of money to spend on a coin. That be awsome. Ive never made an 1/16 or less of that in my whole life working like a mule doing back breaking work. Im gonna have to try to figure out what they're secret is. What im doing now sure ain't working out. One of these days when I dig up that barrel of gold old dad here gonna get in on some them good ones to. Or line them lottery numbers up right. Cant seem to never line them up.

Lol. Im a pretty easy going person myself. I dont let much bother me. I like a little bit of humor.

Don't feel alone. I got a blotted 2020 ASE to. Maybe they both got the covid. Lol. The crazy thing is, my dumb @$$ sent mine in and got it slabbed knowing the spot was on there. I wasn't gonna tell on myself at first but it didn't take these old boys long to notice and call me out. Lol

Ill try look you up on fb. I dont get on it a whole lot anymore. All the friends I got is all around over here where I live. All they want to post is what they are eating,where they used the bathroom at last, and stuff like that. Drives me crazy. I can look at 10 post and 9 of them are pictures of the dinner they cooked.

I don't know about that. Maybe if I can talk him into taking a few more pictures and a couple more videos of it , it might change your mind. 😉

Not sure but its a sweet looking nickle.

Thanks for the info Condor. Im gonna try to make it to one in the near future. And also I can be in Portsmouth in about 20 minutes from where I live. Im on the KY side of the river.

So they had you in time out. Lol. Yea I learned the hard way not to let my old lady know I even have a dollar. She's not bad about trying to take it or nothing. She just doesn't want me spend it on what I want to.
