Mr.Bill347

Lisa both are quite common and show circulation so no premium and hence not worthy of grading costs. BTW if you edit and crop your photos down to the actual coin size we will be able to better evaluate your coins. Example:

A 1941 Walking Liberty half in pretty decent shape!

I’m sorry Tyson you must be new to think this is flawed. NOT! some guy with a die grinder flawed it!

No sorry I don’t see any premium value.

GBrad that is really interesting. Maybe struck though on top of another one? Since the letters don’t seem to be doubled and the reverse seems ok. Don’t know if I have ever seen one like it. Cool find while CRH

Wow you have to be right! Those are awesome!

This is listed as a Gem Proof 1957 and looks like yours

Just like days of our lives some up some down.

No offense JP, I call them brass nickels!

They are not Roger! Just like collecting marbles. 😂

I happen to have a neighborhood book lend location right across the street from my house. I donated three cartons of books to the cause. I also took a Whitman dime album and put about $2 worth of nice looking dimes in it with a note “Hoping this album finds its way to spark the interest of a young person. Enjoy! Anonymous.

Brad I’m not smelling what you’re stepping in. There is no evidence of an O mint mark, just a 55 D I’m sorry to say. Welcome to the forum sir. The New Orleans Mint (French: Monnaie de La Nouvelle-Orléans) operated in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a branch mint of the United States Mint from 1838 to 1861 and from 1879 to 1909.

Zebo I agree, the only reason I started these ugly brass “nickels” was that I don’t collect Sacs and Pres dollars and these seemed unique enough that they may offer a slight bit of rarity some day. Not a whole lot different than the state quarter program as each states primary innovation is featured. Still a brass nickel in my mind. But I have gotten them all so far and might as well finish them now.

I fully agree mirror finish indicates polishing

Outstanding Help Woods !. I matched the lettering but didn't check the Obverse reverse! That is definately IT. Thank You!

LMAO !!

Ok so I have been purchasing the INNOVATION dollar (OK don't ask me why), but when the 2022 Vermont ID was sold, I saw multiple sets of P and D with Position A and Position B??? So I examined the P position A and B and Ill be darned if I see any differences, even in the EDGE inclusion. BTW is the the first coin with an edge incused year and mint mark? I am not sure I can get all the photos in the post but the first three are shots of the P position A and B plus the edge inclusions. Others are microscope shots. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

What is that wart under liberties chin? LOL

Just a well loved quarter

NH I do notice what appears to be the serif top right and bottom left of the O mm. Agree it has either had a hit damaging the O. But see if you can take it to an ANA dealer to look at it under a scope. You can submit it for grading if you want to spend the money on a varietal o/s mm and see what a TPG might say. But I don’t think it would be worth the expense. still a keeper though

JT you make a very good point. The TPG graded coins are getting so pricey that it takes some of the fun out of collecting. I have a lot of ungraded coins with TPG like holders complete with labels that I made. I also have a lot of coin albums. If I see a coin that is visually attractive and appeals to me , I usually buy it and slab it. I do have some that I’d like to submit but I have to save up a while first! Another example is proof sets, I got into collecting them last year and now have well over 60 years of proof coins, none of which will ever be graded. I agree with you on Kevin’s coins. Just leave them alone and either box them or put them in a binder.

Ok one more try

How about this one.

Very striking example great find these days!

So that means he spent $32 x 25 or $800 and hoping to get $500 back in Kennedy’s and quarters, so if he manages to sell the nickels, dimes, and Sacagawea coins for more than $300 he will break even. Who pays the shipping? I would avoid this guy.
