    It is hard for people to admit they were fooled when it comes to a big loss of money. I have even paid more than five cents for a nickel myself a few times.

    I think it is the camera. It picks up scratches you do not normally see with a loupe. I have bought coins and then taken pictures later and found things I never saw before. And the USB scope will show you to many things you do not need to see.....

    Another MS66 for the set came in today.

    It looks like Tom Hanks with a beard.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.

    J P M: TWO???! Yes QA, the last two 1893 and 1895 are both very expensive even in G4 they sell high.

    I have been on the hunt for the last three Morgans to finish my set.1893.94 and 95 Well I was able to find a good looking 1894 O VF35 without breaking the bank. Now down to the last two.

    Those are some big prices. not crazy, but it can also depend on the bidding for the night. If there are 3 bidders fighting over a coin the price can change and go to high. I am on the auction every week and see it all the time. I always try for NGC holders but there are not as many being sold most of the time.

    Congrats

    This is what I talk about a lot. You have a cent where the copper plating is wearing off. Soon the zinc will rot, and the coin will disappear forever.

    I just had to put this up again LoL

    I would put these in a box labeled and then move on. $120 + for grading is a big chance to take. the 59 looks like surface contamination toning to me. the 58 is questionable. Even Mikes coin has a grayer look to it.

    Nice, only one 62 in the whole batch
  14. J P M
    Drill job for sure.

    Good hunting. Bill That 41 is sweet.

    I think in the years to come the only thing rare will be coins that have not rotted away. Once the surface has been compromised it is ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

    Crossover would be cool if they would guaranty the same grade or better before removing it from the old holder. otherwise I will pass.

    I understand, I on the other hand will not send anything in unless it is the last resort. LoL I have been looking for this one for a while. This is not rare but try to find one that does not say SMS on the label.

    I have all the ASE's dates raw uncertified just to have the whole set. I have the changeover year 2008 in a proof and two graded MS 70 I found cheap at antique stores. To me everything else is just sales and hype.

    Where did you find the P+D 2009's ?
  21. J P M
    It looks like the copper plating is bubbling around the mint mark.
  22. J P M
    It happens a lot not all are the same. It can swing either way a bit.
  23. J P M
    OK, never clean your coins.
  24. J P M
    It could be multiple effects. If you look at the rim above LIBERTY it is not square it is at a slight angle and the same on the reverse to me that indicates the die or the planchet (maybe a tapered planchet) was tipped a little perhaps due to a lot of grease on both dies. That is my thought for what it is worth. It is still not an error coin worth grading. That is one thing I know for sure.

    I think you are seeing Mechanical doubling on this coin. It is not an easy thing to start out as a new collector looking for error coins. There is a lot to learn in that area you can look for many years without finding any. There is always a lot of hype to get people to look for error coins, and RPM's but the truth is there are not a lot of true error coins out there.
