    I see from your past post's Mckenzie this is not your first coin. I would reconsider this coin, it is not like a gold or silver coin and it is only worth what someone will give you. I like errors but I don't pay good money for them when you can find many high quality coins for less money.

    So I am sitting around going through some coins in my tin box. I remember this roll I got off a old dealer and decided to take a peek. The 60's did not have great strikes or many FS coins. But this tube has some good looking 60 D's all look MS 65,66 and of course a 1960 D MS 67 is a rare one. I have a maybe and wanted some others opinions on this one from the tube. I know it has a couple bag marks but boy does it look better than a lot of my MS 66 coins

    I agree with Coinbuf. I use the NGC Collector's Society inventory system and it is free and easy to use . It already knows and has listed all the coins in my sets .

    Today I had a coin approved for my registry set when I loaded into the site I noticed the value of the coin was $1925.00 higher than I expected after some investigating I found they had it listed as a DDR FS- 801 .I have informed NGC that it s just a nice coin with no DDR

    Very nice holders, I guess scratches on coins were never a consideration in those days.

    Finding a circulation strike nickel from the sixty's with full steps is a rare coin. There are not many out there and the ones that are can be very pricey.

    Did I hear that NGC changed hands and this past year they lost some quality members of the staff also ? That could throw a monkey wrench into the works .

    I thought the NGCX coins were a bit high priced for my pocket... But I am a cheap S,O,G anyway.

    I agree you have a better chance of a FB from ATS from the coins I have looked at in the past. I know on my FS nickels they let a lot slide down the stairs where NGC will not . And yes Henri depending on the coin many dealers will pick one grading company over the other for a better chance in grade.

    The 1992 looks kinda like a CAM with some blistering but with the others . You are correct there is something wrong with all of the coins you posted the only thing is the mint is allowed to make mistakes that are not considered to be errors. I also roll hunt and find stuff like this all the time but I don't think anyone will consider most of the defects out there at all. I still keep looking, if you like searching like I do welcome to the club. It is always fun and you never know what you will find. Are these coins also part of your Dad's collection ?

    Well I have been looking for this one in my price range for a while. The prices on Jefferson's just keep pushing up in the last two years but I got this nice 66 within my 33% limit.

    In the days before the Weather Channel people did raise flags, now only the harbors and cove's raise flags. Oh and the Coast guard stations always every day.

    I have been around for a long time and I have yet to send in a coin to be graded. If you shop around you can find nice coins raw or all ready graded for reasonable prices. In my opinion, the coin would have to be worth two or three times as much as the grading fee to make it work for me.

    I will keep a look out thanks. I was born on this sand bar and 40 to 60 mph winds are a normal part of the weather here we call them gale force winds. Then we have the NorEaster in the fall and winter and that is the same as a hurricane.

    No PC and No smartphone ? How do you get on to the NGC Forum............Telepathy

    I will check out some of the local shops but being on the east coast it is not likely there will be any.

    Well well a 58.... Another winner,

    Very nice , Congratulations

    I am not a big fan of the Ike's just because it is hard to find nice ones. To much field and skin. I have some in proof sets and a about 25 loose circulated random dates. This is my nicest one.

    LoL it will be 50 years this December. I talk to everyone the same way and my wife is used to that.

    They will look, if I ask for customer rolls of coins but they are not as plentiful this time of year. Yes that SBA is a keeper it has a nice cartwheel it looks like a 55-58 to me with the rim hits. Still a good quality coin for a 44 year old circulated piece

    Just being nice and my new haircut helps

    Ah but the woman know what these coins are. The younger generation or girls do not see what they are they see them as a problem that no one want's.
  25. J P M
    I love it..... I had to go to the bank today. I always ask the girls if they have any strange coins they want to get rid of. It is always fun to see what they come up with. This is what I got today.
