Pristine clean.  Must have been in a holding pattern somewhere.  🤔

The reeding on the edge was even still a little sharp. Thought maybe a mint set had been broken up or something and spent. Who knows. Now it’s in a flip.

Nice finds JP. While not any type of error or anything, I did find this surprisingly crisp clean 1993 P quarter in change the other day. I was shocked how good of shape it was in.

 NGC is now recognizing CAC coins in the registry. 

The NGC Registry Will Soon Recognize CAC Coins | NGC (ngccoin.com) 

Oh boy. This is going to stir the pot for sure. I’ll bet we see very different opinions on this. Some will like it, some will not. I’m glad business strike nickels don’t get beans. 
BTW Congrats on the beans @dollarfan!

Bonus trivia question. What design element was changed on the 1957 and 1958 nickels, and changed back to the original design in 1959???

One time, some years ago on the First of December, I mailed a check to a friend of mine, a miner in Chicken, Alaska 380 miles from Anchorage.  After two weeks he started emailing me 'Where is it?"  I kept saying "The check's in the mail"! 

Again and again with the phone calls and emails so I sent another.  Well, on Christmas Eve he called to say he got the one mailed 1 December.  Only 24 days to go 380 miles!    Maybe it went by dog sled, eh? 

Patience is a virtue.  Seldom found in man and never in woman!  

I had a coin go from Philadelphia PA to Reno NV and then back to Illinois, but the worst of my experiences was a set of coins that were coming from a place outside of Chicago (only 3 hrs north of me). Went to 5 different states, made it to Champaign (should be in my hands next day), 3 days later it is in Dallas TX. It was shipped on the 4th of December and I received it on January 14th. The seller and I stayed in contact throughout this little trip these coins went through. We talked several times and he kept apologizing and I would say no worries, it is what it is. Finally it made it to Champaign and we both thought its going to make it. It ended up in Texas and we both lost it! He called 2 different postmasters and low and behold, it was at my house in 2 days. If anything I made a new friend out of the deal.

I see it is taking a slight detour Down South. I only live an hour and a half from Jackson. Maybe it is headed to my house

 

Well I hope you enjoy your 57 nickel Bob. 

Not sure about FBLs, but Proof nickels don’t carry the FS designation at NGC. Only business strikes.

It's hard to see in the picture but it even has the die crack. It's real faint in this picture. Can't get a very good pic of it. You can see it very plainly with a loupe. 

I see it. Nice coin brother. #8 is pretty cool. Nice pick up.

Have you received your free onion yet?

 

It will be sent out in the morning. We are a highly reputable company that stands by our word.

Hello and welcome to the forum. A good thing you can do to look for comps would be to go to the different auction houses like Heritage, Great Collections, and ebay and check the active and sold listings for the particular coin you are looking at. I did find one comp for you on ebay. You certainly went for it on your first coin for sure. I like it. Here is a link to that listing if you haven’t already seen it. Hope this helps a little. Welcome to the hobby, and good luck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-NGC-MS67FBL-Full-Bell-Lines-Franklin-Half-Dollar-Mint-Set-Toned-/233871467455?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

That is pretty terrible.

If they want to change the face of currency why don't they just come out with a new denomination instead of ruining the ones we already have and have had for centuries! 

 

The obverse will still be Washington.

Two so far, one is for Sally Ride, and if memory serves, the other is for Harriet Tubman.

Maya Angelou I believe.

Same here, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they changed it again or reverted back to the states/atb obverse. I like the classic.

I was assuming he meant die deterioration. 

I may have to take a look at that line above PLURIBUS though and see what that is. (Not sure why I quoted myself.) These 12 hr shifts are getting to me.

A true DD is the LEAST LIKELY outcome. Working dies get squeezed once, so most of the classic causes are now impossible. The only one remaining creates central “smeared” features.
