  1. I have always heard that whatever grade you think a GW is, expect at least 1 grade under.
  2. That 48 looks to have some nice iridescent toning to it. Nice coins.
  3. The Intercept line looks pretty nice as well. Hope you can find a nice seated dollar to complete your album. That is quite the accomplishment.
  4. I have been getting the Innovation dollars from the mint since they came out and have been waiting for Dansco to come out with an album for them. I was able to pick one up and it showed up yesterday. This is #8188. I only have the proofs and reverse proofs so I will have to backtrack and pick up some BU versions. I am a little disappointed that they didn’t include spots for the reverse proof coins. I like the Dansco line of albums and this is #5 for me. Feel free to post your own Dansco albums.
  5. I kinda like the look of this coin. If it were me, I would just keep it as is and add it to the collection.
  6. No hype really. The close AM is normal for a 1995 cent (business strike). I believe the only thing to look for on 1995 cents is a DDO on the Philly coins. Here is a link with more detail on the various close and wide AM coins. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiUrNfjhNH_AhUlmYkEHZ5dDY0QFnoECD0QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lincolncentcollection.com%2Fcloseamwideam.php&usg=AOvVaw2-JRA4LAEgxwqvgh5PTmDG&opi=89978449
  7. New piece for the worn out walker Dansco album.
  8. Wow. Probably the most influential thing I have ever done in numismatics. Thanks!
  9. It does instantly put a cap on the amount of coins available for this slot. Weather or not this will create an uptick in the demand or value of the coins in these older holders is to be seen.
  10. I checked a few sets and this slot was empty on the ones I looked at. If you go to the coin explorer page for this particular coin there are only 2 coins currently in the registry.
  11. In recent weeks I have noticed that NGC has added a new slot in the complete Jefferson nickel registry set. I saw where the complete set went from 300 coins to 301 coins and it took me a few minutes to figure out what they added. The slot added is for a 1939 S (MS/business strike) with no reverse step variety attribution. There are already 2 slots for the 1939 S coins with both the Rev of 38 and Rev of 40 varieties. Coins with either reverse attribution will NOT fit into this slot. You have to find a coin that was graded before these attributes were assigned. NGC automatically assigns the reverse type for any new submission. Currently the NGC census shows 300 coins across all grades without a reverse variety shown on the label as simply 1939 S. I have to assume that a certain percentage of these 300 coins have been cracked out or resubmitted over the years to gain a reverse type designation so this figure may be decreased. Good luck and happy hunting to all my fellow Jefferson collectors.
