Not all dealers are numismatics some are just salespersons.

Congratulation on those wonderful grades, It makes me want to go out and buy a square box.

Yes Roll hunting helps for finding the three C's. Those little imperfections ......Clashes,,,Cracks..and,.Cuds,,,,These coins are all 2021 eye clashes. Not a Item worth grading I just label them and put them in a box for another time.

Anybody know what this could be?
J P M replied to Khouse 69's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
It looks like it was soaked in acid ? -
The cent is showing the rim being mushroomed . I like the term ( Dryer Coin ) anyway it just fits .

Why so many Denver coins submitted in 2019?
J P M replied to Lem E's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Roll hunting, I have always found Denver coins have a much stronger looking strike and proof like fields for many of the coins. So I can see why the count would be higher for people trying to get the PL designation on a coin. -
A very nice collection you have going there Hog

1943 S Steel Penny Repunch Mint Mark?
J P M replied to Erin33's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
In the past some coin company's cleaned polished and plated coins for retail. Many people would buy these certified coins through magazines and TV advertisements never knowing that the coins are the same as almost any coin on the street just cleaned up with a fancy piece of paper. Everything on that paper is true to a point just not specifically pertaining to a individual coin .- 17 replies

I like many collectors use the Redbook for a reference among other sites like NGC and PCGS, Coin World and such . I am just a old construction worker, biker ,musician I am kinda gruff around the edges and don't always explain things very well and I make mistakes all the time . The problem is Mike, when we explain something about a coin we have to be carful on what we say. Especially for the new people. This site even though most of us are only collectors our comments are available world wide. If we say something out of context we better have something to back it up. That's all I wanted to say and here is the Redbook page on proofs and another PL. to keep things rolling.

But they all are, one of a kind.

Yes I have one of those it is a eye clash . On the obverse you may see a line going through the left eye. It is the edge of the step

What would this handful of proof coins be worth today?
J P M replied to RWB's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
I had the pleasure of looking at some nice gold dollars a couple of weeks ago for a gentleman . This was one of the nicer ones . I asked if I could take a picture to post here. This sure is a looker. I hope you don't mind this post Roger I thought you might like it... -
What Clash is that ?

It is sad that they had to buff some of the coins out for the display. I was able to get some nice ones but these two and two copper plated ones were just worthless.

I live in a area of many retired people and I always find good looking old coins in pocket or from local bank rolls. When times are tough or someone passes on the change gets spent or banked.
