Thank you JP! I wasn’t expecting any kudos, but much appreciated., in fact, you made my week! I know that collectors are great people. Someday, I hope to qualify. Thank you for your comments, and the coins look great in your album!

Found in parking lot on Easter Sunday
Mr.Bill347 replied to Mr.Bill347's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
It would be a lot more meaningful if they used Kennedy half dollars for this since they are already ruining coins -

That is unfortunate. A great looking coin with a rim ding. I would be disappointed as well. The details are great and the facts that it it a VAM and a wild eye should make it gradable

2024 S Lincoln cent Rim is different
Mr.Bill347 replied to Mr.Bill347's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Thanks all. Sorry about the confusion. I just noticed a much more distinctive rim on this new proof coin. -
2024 S Lincoln cent Rim is different
Mr.Bill347 replied to Mr.Bill347's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
All my proof coins are just like the 2019 coin. 2019 W coin is .074 , .05 2.62g while the West Point coin has a more pronounced rim, it is not to the same level as the 2024s -
Does anyone know why the rim on the 2024 S Lincoln cent is so pronounced compared to other recent years. first the 2024 S coin the the 2019 coin. the 2024 coin is .074” in diameter and .06” weight is 2.59 g the 2019 coin is .073” in diameter and .05” weight is 2.55g

1986 Silver Eagle with 'W' mint mark
Mr.Bill347 replied to andythestacker's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Sorry sir, Looks like you may have been taken. Some British sellers are selling Chinese counterfeit coins. As my friends have stated, The 1986 Silver Eagle was only Minted in San Fran. Hope you are able to determine it is counterfeit and get a refund. Good Luck -

Congratulations on the set JP! Wonderful accomplishment!

Yesterday I brought 5 home rolls of quarters from the bank. Disappointed as usual. No silver. The oldest was 1965. i may never complete the quarter albums but feel good that I have completed the Kennedy, Roosevelt and Jefferson’s. Close on Buffalos, mercs, and cents sans 09s vdb and of course proof sets. Waiting to populate the 2024s next week. these are outside of my registry coins. that’s a whole different buffet!

I’ll bet you didn’t know this about the eagle on early US coins. https://historyfacts.com/us-history/fact/the-eagle-once-depicted-on-u-s-coins-was-a-real-eagle-named-peter/?email=wehorton65%40gmail.com&sub_level=L1&sub_source=email_daily&utm_campaign=2090674875&utm_content=email_daily+P1_CTA&utm_medium=email&utm_source=15203108

Question about Franklin half dollars
Mr.Bill347 replied to East Coast Coin's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
I’ve noticed the same although my MS64 FBL set are mostly similar. Mine are slightly toned, but seems like the reverses are less so. -
Welcome to the forum.. FYI , the circle plastic center/ stapled square cardboardholders are called Flips. A lot easier to say and type! Lol 😆 any holder made for the proper sized coin is fine except nothing made of PVC as it can badly affect coins. “Airtite” holders are good. No holder is sealed other than third party graders such as NGC. Handle your coins with cotton gloves rather than bare hands. Feel free to post some pictures of examples.

Very nice !

2001 Lincoln Penny Reverse Gas Bubble
Mr.Bill347 replied to Cary Coins's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
I get gas bubbles coins get lamination failures! -
2022 D Roosevelt Dime Question
Mr.Bill347 replied to CommunicatorDan's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
It does appear that there may be some strike through of the leaves and stems from the obverse. I’ll let others opine as they will. -
Just curious Chuck as to why you need to reholder a coin with a John Mercanti label. They don’t keep a stock of old labels around so I highly doubt you’ll be able to get a similar label or of course try to retain the old one.
