  1. I really don't have much experience with the shown coins, but I would (with my inexperience) give you $15 for that '99. But none are worth grading.
  2. Ok. Thanks, lol. I still like it, being a circulation collector. =D
  3. Your not wrong, but many people in this forum (not me, I'm new) are tired of seeing the constant topics about "error" and similar coins. Your best bet, ignore thoughts of rare errors, ditch the microscope, and you'll have a lot of fun collecting.
  4. Hello, I recently visited a small coin show and picked up a few pieces, among these I obtained a 1922 Peace Dollar, and it's not half bad. Looks to me like a MS 61, though it does have some kind of heavy corrosion. I purchased it for $25, which though it has a few flaws it really isn't a bad price. I do have a few questions: A: Do I need to worry about that corrosion? It's not too bad right now but I want to make sure it doesn't get worse. B: What grade would you peg this at? I'm not worried about value, just wanting to get a second opinion. C: This is genuine right? BTW, those two scratches toward the mid-left of the coin are on the plastic, not on the coin. Thanks. Also, don't mind the poll, I just wanted to try it out. (Feel free to do it though). =D
  5. Interesting find. Might not be anything, but the color is off. Could it be plated with something?
  6. Welcome to the forums! These are not mint errors, however they are die varieties. Nothing valuable, but still neat finds! Good work!
  7. could you show us some uploaded photos I would love to see what you've found.
  8. Both are real. They are on the rougher side but still some nice pieces for a circulated set. @Mike Meenderink told you what they are. Remove them from those flips on place them into some new mylars. Also, please post clear photos of both sides. Thank you!
  9. My guess would be, from looking at the obverse only, PF 65. There are some light scratches around the rim, and some blemishes, but overall a outstanding coin!
  10. This is just a case of strike, or machine doubling. Caused by a lose die. Never give up. Keep trying. Just make sure to not be searching for that one million dollar error coin. You probably won't find one. Keep on goin. =)
  11. So, do you guys have any suggestions for good storage methods? I checked Whitman publishing but they don't have what I need. I need something that either has the ability to reload pages, or one that has 150 slots in it. I know I need mylar flips, those I can get at my local Barnes and Noble, but I need a big album. Thanks! =)
  12. Not true, I take high quality pics, and decrease size slightly through photoshop. Turn out just fine.
  13. Interesting coin. Might be a doubled die, but I can't be sure. Might be damage.
  14. This is a very impressive collection! Nice work!
  15. Really any copper? Cuase I got a nice memorial, but you guys have really great stuff.
  16. Agreed with @Greenstang, also, these coins seem to have no numismatic value. Just $1 dollar coins.
  17. Hmm. I tend to have issues with that. It blocks out my lighting. You can't just zoom in so I need to get close.
  18. Indeed. Use manual focus, and aim from an angle. That'll make it easy. For me at least.
  19. Agreed, both of you. In fact I was worried about PVC when I bought the book, but I thought if I kept a close eye on them I could get them out if something fishy started. My main issue with flips is that want to present my coins in an album. Still trying to find the best solution. Thanks for your input!
