  1. Yes. Thanks, I knew that, but even at that, I just don’t see that many with nice steps.
  2. Lol! Sorry. I knew it wasn’t. D but got confused when I had the actual D three legger.. still interesting and I will keep it. thanks Bill
  3. No he did not. He clearly stated that it was a regular 1937 D, I bought it for a few bucks because of the “short leg”
  4. Sorry, guys for so many questions. I apologize in advance. If I am annoying anyone, just tell me, and I will knock it off this 1943 D Jefferson was purchased as having full steps. They are clear, but what do you folks think?
  5. Moderator, please remove the post By MrBill347 entitled 1937 Three legged Buffalo. It was a duplicate that somehow I created. Sorry and thank you.
  6. Sorry guys, this is probably a lame question, but the majority of the Three Legged Buffalos that I’ve seen, are cut off at the fur line of the right foot. This one, as far as I am concerned goes into my three legged Buffalo slot. He must have stepped in a big hole. The first two pics are coin I bought from a reputable ANA dealer. The last pic is a $500 three legged.
  7. Wow! Cant believe you found that on an ender! Marsh Billings Mint Quarters anyone ? LOL
  8. Whaty'all think? legitimate clip? I sure think so. Edge letters don't seem dented.
  9. After I got bitten by the privy mark search, I became determined to own one. Now I’ll probably find on in change. Isn’t that how it usually goals?
  10. I am considering purchasing this 1834 Capped Bust half dollar. Do you guys think it would be worth spending $100 on. Has it been cleaned,or anything that would make it undesirable? Cant see edge lettering in pictures. Reverse and obverse appears offset too.
  11. I didn’t realize the extent of the searchers for the privy mark. Ok I got sucked in. I first bought a roll of 2020 P Marsh Rockefeller and found none. Then I bought 100 mint coins 2020 D Tallgrass and again found none. Then I looked on EBay and found literally thousands of 2020 quarters. My 100 coins that cost me $41.00 sold after three weeks for $21. Lesson learned. Cheaper to go through bank rolls. in disgust I just bought myself an MS64 privy quarter for $35 I’m done searching for more of those things,
  12. That’s a Beauty! Nice going Boss! On my bucket list too
  13. looks like a great legitimate coin. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/liberty-head-250-pscid-57
  14. I have one of these too. I have seen them selling for $50. I just encapsulated mine. And don't think it is worth grading. Also my Grandmother immigrated from Germany in 1906 so I intend to hang on to it. Thank For jogging my memory. These were quite common and meant to be worn as a Brooch and probably had a ribbon it that wore away a long time ago.
  15. Jim. You got me thinking and I bought a sweet 1976 Proof set. and a graded 1971 s SBA.
  16. Thanks JKK. Ok I've been talked out of it. Mine are all nice anyway, I was just asking the question that I already knew the answer too. So thanks for the nudge. I just obtained a sweet 1976 Proof set. Thinking about shining them up>>> NOT!
  17. Thank you. I don’t think I would have the nerve to do that, but may try something like Verdi-care or coinconditioner realizing that severe verdigras is never really removed but more stabilized. Thank you!
  18. Is there really any way to safely clean a coin if you have no intention of grading or profiting from them, but just to pass them on to grandchildren. Example old Lincoln cents. I read this method on a leading coin/bullion dealer site. METHOD 2: VINEGAR STEP 1: GATHER MATERIALS For this method, you will need the following: Distilled white vinegar Shallow bowl Distilled water Soft towel STEP 2: SOAK COIN IN VINEGAR Pour your distilled white vinegar into your shallow bowl. There should be enough vinegar to completely cover your coins. Gently place your coin or coins into the vinegar. Let your coins sit for at least 30 minutes. If your coins are especially dirty, you can let them set in the vinegar overnight. STEP 3: RINSE COIN WITH WATER Remove the coins from the vinegar and gently rinse with distilled water. Remember to use distilled water, not tap water! The chemicals and fluoride in tap water could damage your coins. STEP 4: LET COIN DRY After the coins have been rinsed, let the coins dry on your soft towel. Do not rub the coins to dry them!
  19. Cool! I just bought a bicentennial proof set(1976) for $10. Seems to be the way to go.
  20. I would send it in to NGC, then you will know for sure. If it is in fact, genuine, You will have earned the increased value, if not, then lesson learned. Deerhunter, you sure have a lot of research on it and that makes me somewhat doubt my opinion some. all THE MORE REASON TO really KNOW.
  21. Sir, this coin is as bogus as a three dollar bill. These pictures are of an authentic coin from Ray Burns web page. here is what jumps out at me certainly NOT a proof side of nose bulging major lettering differences in Kellogg &co. two arrow shafts vs three. the stars are odd shapes the rim is bad so sorry, but if it was authenticated by Burns he would have stated so on a document. PCGS is right! Sorry 😞 I’ve been there and done that ONCE!
