    Little tease. Hope you're all paying attention. I had what we in the numismatic field call, "a good day", today. 

    Very rare, impossible to find outside of a very rare person's collection. This made it out of the garage without being painted! Guys must have been pretty lit to let a gold one get by!

    like i said, tease. I'll post the rest of today's finds in a little while. I haven't finished my afternoon nap at work. Yawn.

    LET ME IN:  Cognizant that Groucho Marx once said he'd refuse to join any club that would have him as a member, I have officially taken the plunge into the Rooster club !

    I want to thank QA for his excellent posts on these little-known gold coins (to us Americans, at least :), excepting of course him !!) as well as some additional special help in obtaining this beaut.  Thanks, QA! (thumbsu(thumbsu(thumbsu

    I'll have additional commentary and information once I figure out what the hell I am talking about.xD  In the meantime, I'm sure QA will be able keep this thread going if others want to chime in.

    I keep all wheatbacks.

    but 1955’s get special attention due to the doubled due varieties.

    I especially keep anything pre-1940 as montages are lower.

    1931–s, 1922 plain and D are rare(the plain is actually an error) Anything from 1909 definitely worth keeping especially s mint marks, and 1914-D.

     

    these are the big guys to look out for.

     

    Thank you @Dano1969! I'll check them out tomorrow when I've got a few minutes. I believe the eldest was a 1925. Thank you for the valued, much needed info. Hope all is well on your end. Thanks for stopping by

    It's too bad it's unlawful and illegal to mention the user names of the members whose opinion you really respect.  One such fellow, went thru all the trouble of disengaging the "ignore" option, hastily said what he had to say, and promptly re-engaged the ignore!  I gave him an E for effort. On another unrelated forum you are not permitted to make a comment and then disable comments. I don't care. He only confirmed what I already suspected. He, and a few others, are my biggest fans.

    Your coin roster is out of this world. I seriously doubt any numismatist, spotting the tell-tale darker shading on Jefferson's shoulder doesn't know it's a war-time nickel.  I don't know from "rare" but these 35% silver content nickels are uncommon.

    You're beyond respected @Quintus Arrius, you're revered. Thank you for contributing to this humble thread. 

    And yes, hard to miss those war time nickels, once you know what you're looking for. I find them quite regularly. In the hundreds, i believe.
