    well the weight is ok for the coins but something is not quite rite the 44 +45 looks plated and the others look real so why is the weight ok for the plated looking ones

    I found this in a yard sale today for $5 I will take a look and see if we have anything good or just a old kids hobby project.

    Thanks Thanks . I hate to open the factory pack to weigh a coin that may be what it is meant to be. But if it was a change over error what a find it would be LoL I saw a machine a coin dealer on YouTube had that showed the content of silver right through a holder.

    Here is another shot the Half does not look clad at all it looks silver. Is there any way to find out other than breaking the package and weighing the half dollar by itself?

    I picked up a first issue 1965 SMS set today with all the paperwork It was not $5 but $13 was ok by me . I was wondering if anyone knows? Almost every Kennedy half's I have ever seen have a copper edge and this one does not. I know they are 40% silver from 65 to 70 But did they use real silver on some of the first SMS sets for the Half Dollar ??

    The USB Magnifying glass makes it look shinier than it really is. Here is a phone shot more what it looks like. But I think it has been dipped at the very least. I only have two Peace Dollars and the other one is dirty in all the hard to clean areas.

    I polish it every night . Yes I also think it may have been cleaned. I got it that way. When I bought some coins I got from a dealer in NC he threw it in as a freebee after I spent $100.

    So it is my understanding there are two types of Peace Dollars in 1922 a low relief and a hi relief. How can you tell the difference is it only for the Philadelphia Mint? My 1922 S is a bit beat up, but I should look so good after 100 years

    The whole thing smells fishy.

    Would some of you call this a 1958 high D MM ?

    Only the price jump, which can be extreme

    Here is a shot of the Milk Lady, or maybe I will call it pollen falling off her branches

    I found this one this morning it actually has a reference Snow on the window DC-25c-2015P-05R (HNM) at this web site http://cuds-on-coins.com/interior-die-break-america-the-beautiful-reverse-quarter/

    Ya That is really in good shape, I find the strikes much better in the 1990 to 99 Quarter's compared to now days

    I just got a 1999 ASE that I needed for my Grandchildren's collection. It has some very light milk spots on it I chose the spots over 4 other coins that had nicks or scratches kind of the lesser of two evils. As long as they don't get darker it will be fine but I think they will eventually.

    Well I found a In God We Rust Quarter not a very good one but I will keep it.

    Thanks DWLange, I learn something new every day. I don't post something unless I have multiple copies of the coin. I have 6 or more of each of these finds all the same that is why I thought it was something wrong with the Die.

    WE. Have a winner. The 2021 penny has a crack under WE that makes two oddities for the new one the other was the hair out of place I call the pony tail.

    I am new here also and I learn something new every day. I am what you call a Cherry Picker. I roll hunt for coins with imperfection's all the time. Some times you find cool things and sometimes you find just PMD ..Post Mint Damage.. they call it. But It is still a great hobby and I hope you will like it here.

    Just joking with you Tony. Welcome to the forum. Like Mike said it happens a lot in the same spot on coins. After looking at a few thousands you will see a lot of similarity's
  22. J P M
    Maybe she sold it

    The girls and guys down the bank know what I like and always ask if I want the older rolls. When I bring rolls back that I have searched they always ask if I had look at them they don't look opened LoL the one on the left is a factory roll and the one on the right is a reroll.

    Not everyone likes coins like me so I figure Eagles work good some years are already higher collector wise and and you can always get bullion price whatever it is I would hope. I am thinking by the time I am gone the price will be up enough so everyone will be happy. If it keeps going the way it has in the last 3 weeks it will be $30 before you know it.

    It was in a customer roll. A good spacer I think. Not as good as that washer I found
