    Nice find, I love to search the old boxes in the shops. I almost always get that $5 deal also. Ya never know what may have got tossed in the grab box. This Satin Finish was a $5 Box Coin

    Welcome Yancey, I am not sure what that term is ? Maybe grease filled dies would be a better term.

    I do not think NGC does crossover of ANACS coins.

    Thanks, I don't follow the new mint token coins

    Sometimes you get very nice toned coins from the packaging. Sometimes not so nice. So I would say yes the coins are at risk

    Some more proofs for the set.

    I see you both referencing the look of 2021 and 2023 but not 2022 ? are the 22's ok looking or are you just saying 2021 through 2023.

    Absolutely,,, and many rusty ones at that.

    Well , Sorry to see the details grade, that scratch really jumps out. I would say anything above melt would be a good deal.

    It is a MS 70 all day long.......... until you try to sell it.

    IMO this coin the op posted has signs that it has been in the ground for a long time. It is worth it's copper content....

    Wow , now that CAC is slabbing coins we need another slab sticker . Na............ I will get my own silver and gold stars and if I am real good I can have milk and cookies.

    It has no date or any reference to a higher power. Does it have hieroglyphics on it? Maybe it has some language I don't understand.

    Welcome edhalbrook.. Both cents are in rough shape the 57 is all displaced metal damage and the 36 would be ok for a coin folder

    In the larger magnification I see what looks like a thread that runs through the R and above it some texture lines going east to west that It may be struck through cloth. Hard to say for sure not a lot of wear but it has almost 70 years on it.

    I think Conder was trying to make the same point Kurt. He saying the same thing, you do not need to grade every coin.

    Good deal Bill, congrats.

    It is in a holder so it is safe. Unless you are making a registry set I would leave it alone. It may have a bad step we can not see. Now rotation is a different story. Where is true north on the obverse of a Jefferson Nickel. ( Was he reading a book ,looking straight ahead or looking at a spider on the ceiling ) Just having some fun with that last line.

    LoL... Re-runs of past findings. New collectors may be sending them in at $5 a pop + so there is a market for them now I guess. I have always put them back in the change jar.

    In 1964 we had the last of the silver proof coins. Why would we need a 1964 SMS. I can only think it was a trial run for the upcoming clad coin that did not work out. My understanding is SMS coins were not even conceived until late 1966 and only to appease numismatics. So in 66 they were minting 1965, 1966 and possibly at the end of the year 1967 coins.

    Well, being a small nickel collector. I keep a link on hand for reference to Henning's Nickels. This may help. https://www.error-ref.com/henning-counterfeit-nickel/

    I agree Sandon, I have seen these on nickels for many years and always fluffed them off as chips. It is a very thin piece of metal between the rim and letter's that can easily chip or snap off. It looks like our world is changing and anything can be redefined. Kinda like some of the new DD cents which have no doubling at all only out of shape devices. I do not think this new Bar designation will increase a coins value much but it is interesting to see it recognized.
