The coin you have posted is very beautiful and has a low mintage. The 2019 Palau S $1 Sand Dollar II had a total mintage of 2,019 coins. Of those coins less than 110 have been graded MS 70. (100 at PCGS & 5 at NGC). Numista shows this coin as a high 92 Numista Rarity rating on a scale of 0 - 100 making this a rarer coin among members there. The coin is .999 fine and has a silver bullion value of $28.19. The numismatic value of this coin ranges between $395 - $475. The coin is numerically rare at a low 2,019 total mintage however, if the quality of all the coins minted was consistent (which they usually are) MOST (95%)of these coins would grade MS 70 making them as individual coins not particularly conditionally rare. IMO this is a really beautiful coin to look at and will gain value as time goes on. Cheers!

It is Kurt

Short answer No. That is die deterioration doubling in the photo. The variety for the 1941 mercury dime DDO / DDR has to do with the motto and the date as well as more areas of the coin. The NGC website lists the attributed varieties they recognize in Variety Plus. You can use this reference to compare your coins with. Remember it must be a RECOGNIZED variety by NGC to be encapsulated and described. https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/dimes/mercury-dimes-1916-1945/819966/ https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/dimes/mercury-dimes-1916-1945/816764/

Everyone except Powermad5000 is high balling the coin. The coin is XF (45) Details Scratches (not good when they go the same direction and are sustained bright lines). It's a nice coin for a type set. It is not high AU. That train left that coin years ago. It may just squeak AU (50) Details Scratches with a happy go lucky hippy type grader like VKurtB or RWB. LOL

The problem is its just too nice to be that old. Pattern or not the coin would have some discoloration and patina for being 162 years old. I am 100% sure that's a fake. Sorry

We have 5 rescue cats of different ages and ailments. One was rescued from wildfires (lung issues). One has an amputated tail from an opossum encounter somewhere near here. The others are adopted from shelters or found as kittens abandoned and taken in by me. The one you see in the back is Bo. She is a 10-year-old female that was and abandoned in a store parking lot as a runt by her mother cat. They are all avid coin fans.

Bandit (left) and Chimney (right) say BUMP THIS THREAD!

Yes and no. They did not pick through and try to find all the miss struck coins but they would grab all easily seen and keep them....

This is the main reason I collect gently circulated or even heavily circulated coins of any US type.

1940 Proof Mercury Dime/ Ebay $70.00 Grades PF65-66 Value $200-$240 .....wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

I've never read a numismatic suicide note before. This may be the first ever.....so sad ;(

BYE

Yes we all know that but does Murder69? I think not. And to my knowledge you can no longer have green beans (good because they give me gas anyway) the coin gets put in a CACG holder with the bean built in ..how quaint.

Nope just a crappy penny. By the way did you get your fingernails dealt with yet like we asked?

Would you? How many stickers do you have? Do you know how to add them properly? I'd like some stickers and help with putting on CAC stickers.

NUNYA : Slang / None ya business. (None of your business: proper) Used in a sentence: "Where I get my stuff is NUNYA so step off." Hope we all learned something today. Peace out as the kids say....

Roger this may be NUNYA. (see next post for translation for those over 50)

Yhea thats a great way to loose a nipple. Thats why she has the sword.

1872 25C Quarter Dollar, Judd-1195, Pollock-1335, Low R.7 William Barber's Amazonian design with Liberty seated, facing left, her right hand touching the head of a spread-wing eagle, sword in left hand. Thirteen stars are on the upper portion of that side with the date below. The reverse has a reversed variant of the eagle seen on the obverse, denomination below, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around much of the perimeter on that side. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Many students of U.S. pattern coinage consider the Amazonian design, which William Barber created, to be the most beautiful design ever created for a coin. It was a mere 18 years after they were coined that the Amazonian name first appeared in the catalog of Lorin Parmelee's Collection sold by New York Coin and Stamp in 1890. A roster of at least seven different examples appears at USPatterns.com, clearly indicating that there are many rarer pattern issues, but few that are more desirable. Two of those known examples are in museums, one at the Western Heritage Museum in Omaha, from the Byron Reed Collection, and the other at the ANA Museum in Colorado Springs, from the Harry Bass Collection.

You must submit them in different submissions. 1 World coin submission and 1 US coin submission. They must be on separate submission numbers and sent to different places within NGC. See: How to Submit Coins / Details on the NGC website.

Ok thanks for your permission that is very nice of you to let me do something. I feel free now.

I agree the coin is no longer a coin but a huge bunch of BS

I use tarnish or toning as a lighthouse that guides me into the rest of the coin. Many times, nice coins develop a toning that is indicative to the toning being on the original surface of a very nice uncirculated coin. Just my 3 cents. If you haven't noticed many toned coins that are natural, get higher grades and it's not just from the colors or toning its from a coin that sat still for a long long time.
