There are several black beauty nickels listed on EBay that are certified as such by ANACS.

There are lots of reputable dealers on EBay. It seems it has become another venue for them to do business. There are also lots of private individuals who sell on EBay as well. I recommend you find coins you are interested in and review their seller feedback as a start. Good luck!

This one is MS67+*FT

This one has the grade of MS68+*

Actually both Sandon and powermad5000 are both incorrect. On Roosevelt dimes PCGS uses the term FB. NGC uses the term FT. NGC is much more stringent on their grading and determination for the FT designation much more so than PCGS is on the FB designation. Based on the hit crossing the bottom bands, NGC mostly likely would not designate this as a FT specimen. On the other hand their probably a 50 - 50 chance that PCGS would award the FB designation to your dime if it were submitted for grading.

Actually he did state about where he had been reading on error-ref.com.

Mistyped. It was in 2005 around late July or August I believe. It took some time to get it authenticated and graded by ANACS and the article in Coin World followed.

Actually, the 2005 Bison nickel DDO-1 was discovered by me in 1995. What made this a key find at the time was the implementation of the single-squeeze restrained Hubbing process which was expected to eliminate hub doubling issues encountered by prior methods. Mint officials at the time denied repeatedly this could happen with the new process. A write up of the discovery was included in the November 07, 2005 Coin World paper. The original specimen was certified by ANACS which I still own. Both NGC and PCGS has recognized the variety and certified examples as well. Early examples brought substantial premiums at auction.

$1650. Postage paid. PayPal preferred. See the description for grade details.

Go in the registry forum. I believe there is a sub forum to request a new set.

I don’t see the box you are talking about. Can you provide a screenshot maybe?

I joined it as well. Seems they are still developing a lot of areas so have to see where it goes. I was unable to figure how to post in the group for selling coins but did not delve into it very long.

I would think the coin will be encapsulated. As I understand it, they will not image the coin unless they graded it.

I don’t think it is referring to an error dime. I do think it is a dime from the Richmond collection. Hence, the Richmond dime. I believe it was a Barber dime and the NGC holder indicated the Richmond Collection. I think I recall seeing it when it was up for auction at GC.

The coin shown was recently graded by a gentleman I know which has both the + and *!

I own quite a few coins with the * designation including some that have the + and *. Most do have attractive toning generally on both sides of the coin, but some are toned only on one side. In addition, I own quite a few proof coins with the * designation. If anyone cares to take a look at EBay, do a search for 1965, 1966 or 1967 SMS coins and check out the * coins in nickels, dimes, quarters and halves!

Real no significant differences noted on graded examples between the the two noted varieties. Rarely even see them anymore with the variety noted on the holders from TPG.

eBay

To my knowledge, no they do not. I still have the PCGS inserts from crossover submissions from 4 years ago. When I insert the cert. no. into their database the coin is still there. At this point, the census on both sides is not really close at all. Due to the crossover, crack out and resubmissions never being notified to the TPG. PCGS as well as NGC will delete the data from their respective data if you notify them and return the inserts.

If you do send to GC for auction you may wish to instruct them to start the auctions at $1.00 By doing that your selling fees are reduced significantly.

Thanks!

I have the subject coin in my registry in the non-FBL set as well as my 1957 Mint set however it does not show the additional points for having the CAC sticker. Thanks.

I don't understand your point. I have traveled as well and mentioned that I have met collectors with similar interests. And perhaps some may not have the financial means to travel as you have. I also know how and do use the database often but can look at a specific set within the registry and see all the sets listed in one place. How do you know Cliff does not "do" online? You don't "do" the registry thing, but you do "do" online.

I use the registry to connect with other collectors who have similar interests and collect the same coins that I do. I have had the pleasure of meeting several collectors because of the registry on both sides of the street. I have owned many coins that currently dwell in other registry sets for one reason or another. I have also acquired coins from fellow collectors that fit into my sets as well. Additional advantages of the registry include a nicely designed database that allows me to keep my coins organized and tracked. I can also enjoy my collection and those of others from the comfort and privacy of my home visually without taking them from a secure location. I also think that going back to the underlying premise of the registry set which is the whole idea of TPG slabbed coins. In our markets today I am very happy to have the option of certifying services available for many reasons including authentication, grading and packaging to name just a few. In addition, certified coins are valued higher, sell easier at higher prices and there is a reasonable confidence that the coins are not counterfeit. Bottom line to me would be: if you do not like the registry then why not go to other coin sites that do no have a registry rather than hang out here on a registry site developed by a third party grader.

Depending upon what you paid, I would try and get it graded I would get it graded. The coin is worth worth considerably more the grading fee.
