    I wonder if the San Fran mint actually made a run of 1908s coins as a trial to the 1909 it would be a cool find if so.

    Welcome, you have a nice collection of coins

    It could be legit; I could not find a reference to it. I see a double vest and chin also, it is like the die came loose and hit on an angle to make the double effect.

    Wow that is cool, a very high price cent. There is even a mintage number for a nonexistent coin
  5. J P M
    What error would that be ?

    True but there are others, VaultBox Coins and Collecting - VaultBox

    I agree with Stang, also try to orient your shots north and south and use a white background to shoot photos it gives a truer color.

    Wow you been finding some oldies
  10. J P M
    cool

    I still keep most of them, but these are really rough, and I am sure a new collector may get a chance to see them.

    Just doing some fishing today, no keepers yet looks like a catch and release day. Still fun to find Wheaties in rolls.

    This is a rough one. I need another opinion? Is this looking like a 1919 S

    Nice find , I hope it works out for you.

    Whenever I see an old Coin or Red Book, I try to buy it. I now have the 30th 50th Anniversary edition, 56th and the 75th Anniversary edition.

    The wife wanted to go to the old bookstore today, so I said sure. She got nada but I found a nice 30th edition for $3.50 I think that is 55 cents over the original price.

    Not rare, just hard to find not sure why. Maybe because there are less than fifty graded higher.

    Oh I forgot to say Welcome ,Bel

    Yes white is always a better background. If you can shoot before you put it in the flip. Your shots are nice but still a bit out of focus that will come with more practice. Try to find a focus point on the coin and go with that.

    Welcome, even a butterknife handle will work to push them down.
  21. J P M
    Yes, I agree. I have mentioned before that where I live is a big retirement area. Almost all the old banks have large walk-in vaults with safety deposit boxes. I think when the estates of these people come up a lot of stuff is cashed in.

    Yes it is groovy. In a few spots

    Very nice Rob, how did you find this one. Did you pull that coin from a proof set?
  24. J P M
    A great idea but this is a nine-year-old thread.

    These coins are by no means worth grading I just find it amazing to find (cartwheel effect) 40+year-old Bu coins in circulation. These coins must have come from a collection now released into the wild.
