    My Bad .I messed up on the key % $ I pushed and did not think about it. I have seen bullion for sale at melt +$5 not 5 % .....just to make it go away.

    Thank you for posting full shots of the coin. The obverse is out of orientation but it is workable. The coin is a piece with some MD from what I can see.

    I will never be done per say. I still roll hunt and save all my BU coins in all the series . It is a life long hobby and it's not over yet. Ya never know there is always a chance to find something a little different.
  13. J P M
    Many buy a classical minted coin thinking they can always sell it for bullion price. But then it is always worth a bit more than melt you say. Also you may fall in love with it and never sell it. If you buy a bullion coin that is it's intent. You may also fall in love with it but maybe not as much that you can't part with it .

    I like buying holders other people have paid for. That way I am only paying for the coin inside the holder.

    I grade my coins as I sell them ? What does that mean? If it passes the 14 ways test is it ok to sell it ? I am so confused

    It happens every day. Most of us try to help when we can so that new people have a bit of a chance. I agree everyone must be there own advocate in this hobby but talking to numismatics with years of experience is a good place to start.

    I have always found Denver coins to be a better strike and almost proof like many times. Even though the Denver dies for years were made at Philly they were better looking ? I think it is as Lem said Not as many of these coins are graded high and also people are looking for the DD ones. Many times it is the Denver coin that is the hard to find coin . Supply and demand is what it is and some is and some ain't.

    That would be a mint set. I do not pull sets apart for books or folders I only pick roll hunted coins for that. For my collections of graded coins I buy coins other people paid to have graded it's cheaper that way.

    It looks to be stained. It may have a die crack on the obverse but it is hard to tell from the photo and would not be worth a premium due to the coins condition.
  20. J P M
    Yes, I find some coins are just a mystery why they bid the way they do. I just don't get it. 67 and 68s are out there but do not show up very often
  21. J P M
    Well the wait is over I found a 2023 D nice enough for my folder of circulated nickels. These are the best of many rolls hunted
  22. J P M
    Melt + 5% at most places I have seen. Yes, But in a holder it is always more
  23. J P M
    I have been working on my westward journey nickels set. I have quite a a few MS 66 coins but for some reason the 2004 P Handshake has been a hard coin to get in my price range. I don't know why this coin always bids out way over price. Sometimes $20 to $100 over the High retail price. This is not a rare coin at 361,440,000 What is it with this being one of those coins that people just bid out on. So that's My rant for the day...... Anyway I found this very nice MS66 from a Dealer on eBay and I must say it is a good looking coin and I did not have to play the crazy bid war to get it
  24. J P M
    Yes I always look there first. That is why the Greek coin stood out so much

    The new cents do not have much copper on them and they are easily effected by the environment. Most of these new shield cents are not going to survive as long as the cents of the past.
