Here comes the newbie with his 2cents. (I’m trying to educate myself and ask questions or make a statement reflecting my learning). At least you have a silver quarter because the 65 on no gots silver🤓
true James, after 64 there were only 40% silver coins like Kennedy Half's and Ike Dollars and later special silver mint sets became available.

The question was concerning so called 1964 Special Mint Set. My comment concerned 1964 coins only.
Sorry Moxie I thought you meant that SMS sets did not exist at all?

I Should have said proof sets were available in 64 and SMS sets started in 65 to my knowledge.

There is a listing in the red book for a 1954 S over D but it is hard to tell from the photo if you have that MM

Yes people think we coin collectors are way to fussy. And Yes I am fussy, If I am paying top dollar for a product that is graded on it's quality now and in the future it better look 100%. But who am I to say, I like coins with defects . But not new ones.

Well I paid $70 for the coin it is worth $150 according to the coin verification lookup? Not sure if it would be worth the cost unless it would increase the value of the coin by a good percentage. But it sure has some cool cracks that die must have been junk after the clash.

Very nice pick up JP. Lots of interesting details. Right up your alley.
Yes I saw the crack when I bought it and thought it may have more stuff now I can see it sure does. I wonder if I should send it out to be regraded.?

Thanks Woods. Too bad I couldn’t get these steps on some of my other higher grade nickels.
Is there also some doubling on the M and O in Monticello? It is hard to see but it looked like it.
11 hours ago, Lem E said:As far as I know, yes. You can have a nick or spot in the steps as long a line is still visible through that spot. If it merges two steps or breaks beyond that line (deeper/incuse) it is over.
Thanks for the information and photos Lem , I did not know that you could still have some marks on the steps ? I thought it was no marks at all. So as long as the horizontal lines are not broken it will pass at NGC and PCGS ?

Ya I am done with the ASE set. I still have yet to order a type 2 and will only get more ASE's if they are 70 slabs and close to the mark. I will just keep Morgan hunting. There is always that one lucky find hiding out there somewhere that may pop up.

Happy Fathers Day to all my New, Numismatic Friends

I have my full set of ASE one D cam one proof and one 25th Anniversary and that is good enough sending out any of the regular ASE's to be graded that may come back a 68 or 69 is to much money unless one of them skyrockets for some unknown reason. When I can buy a MS70 in a clean holder for $55 it is a much better choice in my book

I roll hunt all the time it is fun to find coins with cracks chips and strike related problems. That is why I made the Cherry Picker Post thread to ask questions and learn from the professionals here on the forum. Anything that has potential I will label and save in a file. I may never send a coin in for grading because most are to small a defect to be worth the cost but there is always a chance that someday I will post a coin the collectors here say may be a slab keeper and when that day comes I will send it out. I agree that buying a slab coin is cheaper most the time and you may get lucky like that VAM Morgan I just found the other day. It's not worth a big chunk of $ but still finding it was the most fun. Have fun with your hobby and always be honest to yourself, and others, and keep looking
