    Nice pick ups JP. I need to start getting some older proofs. I’d like to have some old walker proofs.

    Some dandy fine GWs HogH.

    Here is my Appalachian nickel in a holder from that small window in time where both the star and T designations were used.

    Here is a good thread that discusses this subject. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-ngc-t-w-designations-the-lost-designations.208532/

    It means “white” for a clean untoned coin. Those were designations that were only used for about 2 years I think. There is also a designation T for a toned coin.

    That is a good thing. Must be a real looker. Congrats.

    I saw somewhere that they used to carry those coins on strings because they didn’t have pockets back then.

    Yes this definitely looks like a common weak spot. Very nice work for you to pick up on that JP. I always thought it would be cool to have enough coins from the same die in hand to see the progression of a die crack. I wonder how long they will still use the die once they see a problem? Anyone?

    Welcome to the boards Jim. Nice to meet you.
  12. Lem E
    I could also be very wrong, but feel the obligation to reply when quoted. I do agree with you. There are some rough marks for sure.

    To me, some areas look raised and some don’t. I’m not going to sit here and say I have seen every error and die crack or chip on every nickel, but from your photos, regarding the nose to the E line, I am seeing a bit of a pattern. This could be a common weak spot on the obverse die for a crack to form. This is only my opinion.
  14. Lem E
    I totally agree. Coins.
  15. Lem E
    The best advice I can give you is don’t get too wrapped up in the label game. There is nothing wrong with a standard brown label.
  16. Lem E
    I agree. If the flat spot under pillar 3 doesn’t get you, the gouge under pillar 2 might.

    Always room for one more brother.

    We will meet up at Jim’s for a quick cheesesteak and then we can head out

    I thought we were simply agreeing with your own observation about the “y”. Am I missing something? I don’t believe that the dcam status was in question. I’m not sure what we are disagreeing on? I think it is a fine looking coin.
  20. Lem E
    I’d say we are all in agreement then. Meeting adjourned.
  21. Lem E
    I would say just the light playing tricks on your eyes. I see what you are saying though.

    Go to your edit button with the pencil and you will have to put some sort of description for each coin. It can be short or long. Your choice, but there has to be something in there. That will bump you up to a #1 set.

    Welcome to the forum. It will knock you down if you don't have pictures and something in the description for every coin in the set. Try that.

    Gorgeous piece.
