This coin is not worth grading. Only submit coins that have a raw price guide value of at least $350.00 - $400.00 which covers all the grading fees plus a profit for you when you decide to sell the coin.

I like the 1885 Morgan Dollar the most but at the end of the day it's your decision to make not mine.

I've been on here for a very short period of time. I hope you don't mind me sticking my 2 cents in? You guys seem pretty down to earth to me. I like the fact that you didn't make your memberships so expensive that I should be able to afford it. And I rather enjoyed your crypto discussion, even though it was more financial than crypto really. lol. I was going to add my crypto story, but not many believe it is true even though I have pictures to back it up. Transaction hashes and everything. Still couldn't get my money back. when you invest it can be a risky. you got to live and learn. So, I no longer invest my hard earned money. I'll mine for free, but that is it. Let me ask a question, please? I inherited some coins. Might be 1 or 2 of them worth some money. got quit a few 1964 Kennedy half dollars, got a few
1970 proof sets. some Morgan and Piece dollars. A few Indian head pennies, Some buffalo nickels, Mercury dimes, And some foreign coins. Can you tell me what would be worth sending in to have it graded. I was thinking about auctioning some stuff on ebay. Maybe it would help me determine the actual prices of the coins. So many different prices. So many different errors. How do you know something is a valid mint error and how much is it worth. I am willing to walk the walk if showed the way to go. any guidance and I will run with it. Life without guidance is like building something without instructions. I know, because I've figured most things out myself, but with a little guidance I might be able to go that much farther. any helpful knowledge is appreciated. Thank you! Any thoughts about these? If not maybe just a few ideas about things I can research or look into. even having knowledge of where I can look at the information with legitimate information in it. Or you can just move it into the trash. It started with good intentions. I guess giving all your secrets away. wouldn't be very lucrative. anyway, here are some of my beginner coins. have a good day! Read this page from the bottom to the top. It was a good read. Thank you for the information. any other helpful info, is highly appreciated. Thank you!
I wouldn't submit any of the coins pictured. When submitting coins only submit coins that have a raw price guide value of at least $350.00 - $400.00 which covers all of the grading fees plus you should be able to make a profit when you decide to sell your coins.

If you zoom in you'll barely see a trace of a "2" as the last digit of the date.

Same as Sandon and powermad5000 said.

This coin was simply abused.

Unfortunately, eBay does not want to "'interfere" with sales so they can keep collecting their fees. If eBay were serious about at least the sales of coins, bullion, and paper money, the sellers would have to let their listings wait in a queue until someone from a panel of experts has verified the listing to be accurate. Other problem is, those people would have to be volunteers and what experts have the time to volunteer to look at tens of thousands of listings everyday? All the online seller platforms have become a modern gigantic machine that is too large to be regulated properly.
Yup and those regulations would be next to impossible to enforce.

When I looked through all this nonsense, I sent him a message that he had no errors and explained why.
The SA response I got back was "Then don't look at my coins".
Thanks for pointing another one out @Hoghead515
At the rate sellers on eBay and ect are trying to sell non error coins and claiming they are maybe one of us ought to to a thread about it similar to the one that Just Bob did about known sellers of counterfeit coins.

These days collectors should just buy pre certified coins due to the number of counterfeits and the rising cost of grading.

I was thinking of heating up all their coins, then forcing them to swallow them.
That sounds too much like work.

I would never ever buy a coin from any seller that doesn't have at least 4,000 feedback with near 100 percent positive feedback. The seller ID'd in this thread is clearly a scam artist looking for victims.

I bet you're on here everyday with your smart replys huh? Makes u feel big... you're the guy that has a copy and paste already to go that says machine doubling machine doubling machine doubling without even looking at it. Look buddy there ain't no wishes over here I'm going to go ahead and post some closer pictures and you can go ahead and see why I would say that it wasn't PMD even though it possibly could PMD. And while you're at it get a life
I told you the truth about your coin. If you're going to be overly sensitive when someone tells you the truth about your coins then perhaps you don't need to be here as some of our other members are even more scarcastic than I am. Have a nice day.

I'd have to say that the coin pictured is circulated. Proof refers to a method of manufacturing of the coin such as using special polishes and dies to bring out the full artistic look of the coin. For those reasons proof coins are not meant for circulation.

Hi all,
Does anyone know the weight of a current NGC holder for a 2 ounce gold coin. Thanks in advance for any answers.
There's no exact weight when it comes to NGC slabs due to their manufacturing and sonic sealing process. If you already know the weight of your coin then subtract the weight of the coin from the overall weight after the coin has been slabbed to figure out the weight of the NGC slab. Hope this helps.

To me it looks like a normal circulated 1963 Jefferson nickel not a DDR.
-
Every coin that is circulated absolutely MUST be a mint error. Welcome to the world of social media with scammers alleging to be "Experts" and dispersing completely false information while looking for victims I mean future customers.

How about the impact of social media and the adverse effects it has on the hobby as a whole?

If it is a DD, then show a closeup of where you see doubling. Can’t tell anything from that photo.
Also if you crop your photos to the edge, it would help enlarge them. We don’t need to look at all that background.You're better off just giving up as the user you are trying to educate is closed minded.

I have a 1909S penny. What is its value?
in Coin Marketplace
Posted · Edited by Reno Raines
If I were to speculate your 1909 S Lincoln Cent is worth maybe $10.00 at most thus it's not worth incurring the grading fees. You should only submit raw coins that have a value of $400.00+ for grading as the coin's value would be more than enough to cover all the grading fees plus you'll make a nice profit when you decide to sell your coin. For future reference please post this type of question in the "Newbie coin collecting" part of the forum as this part of the forum is to either purchase, sell or trade coins only.
