  1. Hi, I think it is close to the (CONECA: DDO-001). The 1 is a bit hard to see, but the top of the 1 can be seen popping up over the 2. More opinions will soon appear, hopefully you will have a consensus. If possible, please provide a cropped and clear photo of both the Obverse and Reverse. It helps to identify the coin better. Below is the photo on the NGC Variety Plus site):
  2. My Red Bible doth protest thine heresy. . . It should be 10,. . . if you wish to include that pesky unicorn & the shiniest version (awesome title for a bad bad movie!). (6) Copper: 82p small---82p LARGE---82d LARGE---82s small---82sProof -----82d small (pesky Unicorn) (4) Zinc: 82p small---82p LARGE---82d small---82d LARGE. But, who knows, maybe someone will have the good fortune of discovering a new and rarer variation that has been lurking in the numismatic shadows for 22 years awaiting the arrival of Neo Numismatisticest. Just make sure Moby & Phish come along, after all, three's Company!
  3. OK team. The jig is up. Youngmoola has broken the code and ripped the cover off the Wizard. It is no longer feasible to keep this fine young Jedi master away from his true potential. Congrats Youngmoola, you have found us out. The alignment of the date is the key. Keep the Force and Faith around you always and your journey is sure to be rewarding.
  4. "Commemorating American freedom" is simply a classic example of good ole American commercialism.
  5. I think I don't understand what you are trying to say. The pictures you have provided are out of focus and you would need to choose either NGC or PCGS. Good luck with your endeavors in life. It is a big world out there, so eat a hearty breakfast and drink lots of water.
  6. No, I almost expected PMD on a couple of these. As you said, I also imagine these aren't too valuable. For me, I figure to grade a coin, it would need to have a minimum value of $300 or be a really unique item that requires TPG validation for authenticity. I will keep the more expressive specimens for my collection of "Mint Muck-Ups." I seem to have a growing number of "quality control" failures!
  7. Hi and welcome. I am not sure that there is a variety of Wide/Close AM for 1996. 1992, 1998, 1999, 2000 I believe are the only Wide/Close AM varieties
  8. The first one came from the mint. The black mark is a depression under the lettering. The second one I can't tell, it seems like a crack, but the folded metal on the collar seems wrong. Any ideas? The third one. . . no idea. . .
  9. These 2 coins got signs of bad clipping. The clippings look homegrown to me. LOL, the second one looks like a clipping on the OBV and a weird crimping fix on the REV.
  10. hiya, welcome. unfortunately the photos are a bit out of focus. I seem to be a bit out of focus as well... What is your concern about this coin?
  11. Hiya, welcome to the forum. Carts before horses gets more than a few budding numismatists! Fear not, but expect a very sharp learning curve if you wish to save money. Although much less respected, "cleaned" coins still sell, mind you, at a discounted price. If you actually have all of those potentially valuable errors/varieties, then you could still sell them if you like, better you keep them as a learning lesson. Please upload some clear and cropped photos, I am interested in seeing how your cleaned coins turned out.
  12. It's a near completely worn shield nickel. Left side pic has light impression of the bottom of the 5 near center. the coin is slightly smaller than a Buffalo nickel
  13. My favorite coin thus far: Hazard a guess as to what coin this once was?
  14. This coin was one of the cooler nickels so far. I think it is a struck-through variety. . . I think. . .
  15. If any photo needs to be magnified, let me know which one.
  16. I have been helping my father out by searching and collating his absurdly large hoard of coins. Every few months I visit my family and pick-up/return a batch of coins. This round, I took 173 nickel rolls and 9 mostly complete Whitman nickel books: 5 Buff & 4 Jeff. The rolls are primarily Jefferson from 38-60’s and only 6 rolls were labeled Buffalo. 65 rolls aren’t clearly marked which means I will probably get a variety of 3-4 generations of nickels. I started with digging into the Whitman Buffalo books. None of the books had high quality examples, but a complete Buffalo run was made so that was kinda cool. Unfortunately, overall condition was only in the G-VG range. I then made my way through the Buffalo rolls and begin to tackle the unmarked rolls. One particular roll caught my eye because of its' label: "Odd Nickels.” Curiosity abound, I jumped right in and found. . . funny enough. . . odd nickels. There are: 4 Cracked Jeff’s, 2 counter-stamps, a few other quirky campers. Below are just a few nuggets of numismatic nuttiness encompassing 111 years. Jeff on Crack: Jeff on Graffiti: Jeff on Cutting: This 58p has some strange marks under the chin, like 2 stitched cuts (magnified pic below) More to come. . .
  17. With only 5 in existence and 4 of those being graded, reality must be bending to your will if you have two of these. I would ask you how you came into possession of an ultra rare coin, but I imagine you will say you found it in change from yer favorite store. Please exit the Numismatic world. It is not capable of containing the likes of you. Try stamp collecting. I can't wait for you to find more upside-down Jenny's.
  18. As of yet, I have never sent a coin in to be graded/attributed. Since you have reviewed and presumably filled out the form to submit a coin for grading/attribution, is there a line on the form regarding baby ducks?
  19. Would any of them happen to be bimetallic?
  20. I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying I love you I hear babies cry I watch them grow They'll learn much more Than I'll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world Be careful with the "truth," few seem to handle it well, most simply can't accept it. - (Brought to you by): That guy in that movie with the other guy about some dead guy on trial
  21. Interesting coin, what got you on to this coin?
  22. I never roll-hunted before a few months ago. I went out to a few different banks and ended up with $40 in Nickels, Dimes, Cents, and a Quarter roll. I was extremely lucky and got 2 rolls of 2019d nickels that were very lightly used, almost UNC. Unfortunately there wasn't one that was virtually impeccable.
