Wow. Not sure I would have wanted to carry around uranium coins.

Looks like there are some examples right here on the NGC website. I guess it wouldn’t be much different than how they do a glass coke bottle. Interesting stuff.

It would be interesting to know how they planned to “strike” or put a design on a glass planchet. Etching maybe. May have to pick up yet another of Roger’s books.

It looks like it was only in Boise and apparently the federal government did not like it and threatened to prosecute the issuers of them. You can buy you one on ebay. I also read where the were thinking of using tempered glass for cents. Crazy. Here is one of those “tokens”.

The mark at 7:00 is part of his jacket in the design. As far as FS designation, I don't think it matters if it is a strike through or not, the steps are still merged. Thats too bad as your steps look pretty good otherwise.

Just got this a few days ago. Took a break from the nickels to get this one. I just really liked the looks of this. Normally not a fan of the brown toning, but it just seems to work on this coin. The fingerprint almost drove me away but something just kept bringing me back to this one. Pulled the trigger. Glad I did. NGC MS-63

Ok thank you very much.

Hello. I have 2 coins that I thought were going to be able to be placed in the 2017 ANA SILVER EAGLE slots but when entered they come up as standard coins without the ANA designation. I understand that there are coins with ANA labels that don’t get classified as ANA coins, but these actually say DENVER ANA in the bold print on top. Are these ANA coins or no? Thanks.

I would rather have something in a lower grade as opposed to something with details.

It’s still cool. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with getting it on the cheap with no competition.

That would be my luck too. Buy some raw coin and turn out to be a fake or some whizzed p.o.s. I’ll just pay the premium for already graded stuff so I know exactly what I’m getting.

Hello. I think the term you are looking for is FBL or FULL BELL LINES. Full bands is used for dimes. Im not a half dollar guy but if it is anything like the full step nickel designation, I would assume the lines would have to go all the way across with no interruptions. Still a pretty cool piece to get in change, and the pics are really pretty good!

Good looking Lincoln! Nice acquisition for your collection.

Man I hope they are all genuine and problem free. That would be one heck of a starter kit! Hope things work out for you.

Unreal how clean that V nickel is. Amazing!

Ok I kinda see it now. I thought that was the reflection from the light source above.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Im not quite sure what you are asking about as far as an error, but I don’t really see anything out of the ordinary. Looks like a regular very circulated 73 quarter. What is it about the coin that makes you feel there is something different from a regular coin? And here is a little bit of advice before a lot of people start looking at this. You may want to rotate your pics so the coin is straight up so people can get a better look and you may also want to take a new pic on the top with out your fingers in the way. The detail of the coin isn’t too bad. Just trying to give you a head start. There is probably a hardcore quarter guy out there that will chime in if they see something. I’m not really seeing much though. You will have to be a little more specific with your question. Give it some time. There are a lot of pros out there that will tell you if this is something worth your time.

Ill say MS62. Same as the other one.

I’m glad they whittled it down to only 14 slots this year.

Regardless of the grade, it’s still not your average pocket change. Very nice piece my friend. Congrats.

Very much so. Since the hub improvement in 1987, the detail has vastly improved. Full steps are very common these days.
