It's a little slower over here, but the people seem nice enough. Please, start posting up that incredible collection of yours, especially those recently added pieces. Good to see you online, again!

And finally

yikes

1928?. I never clean coins, other than with tap water. This was interesting. 

What distinguishes your line-up from others, other than heavy, fairly even wear and the requisite scratches, is silver content in varying percentages. I will always appreciate old silver coins (& wartime nickels).

Well, this is another thing we're on the same page about. Look at this, we're becoming fast friends, over a silly found coin thread. Ain't life grand? 

And as much of a dullard as i am, i did look up the basics of coin identification for self edification, only. I had seen a black nickel with a big P on the back, had never seen that before. So while I'll always thank you, and will always appreciate any and all contributions, i do have "coins for dummies" amongst my most thumbed through. 

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday. Or if you're in Australia, i believe it's last Thursday, so, there's that.

Being one of the more highly viewed threads on the site, at the moment, I'd like to invite you to view my good friend's thread, 

it's far more interesting than my junk finds. Give @ShinyObjects a warm NGC welcome! Woo-hoo!

Found this, too. My 6th, i believe. To clean, or not to clean. That is what I'm asking. Too late. Already in the bleach bath. I like a combination of bleach, vinegar, and coarse sand, mixed into a paste, and rubbed on thick. Let it sit in an enclosed space. Rinse, and walla! Just like new!

we'll see what this one looks like, tomorrow. I'll give you the "afters", then. 

CJ,

Not sure how your cleaning of this came out.  And as others said, no harm in trying to clean it on this example.  Tarn-X is a good quick(but harsh!) silver dipping cleaner.  If this had a readable date, i'd leave it be.  But i hope you get get some detail after your method.

[CoinJockey73]

@Dano1969! Great to see your presence here brother! 

[CoinJockey73]

As everyone knows, my finds happen at two speeds, and two speeds only, feast, or famine. All or nothing. Go big, or go home. That's it, just two speeds. Although sometimes, you get lighter days. So maybe feast, famine, and well fed. Those three. And actually, sometimes you get really light days, too. So feast, famine, well fed, and lightly fed. To be honest, some days can be moderately heavy, as well. So, feast, famine, well fed, lightly fed, moderately fed, but that's it. I think. Sometimes things can be lightly heavy, as well. Whatever, I'm getting ahead of myself. On to today's finds, so far. One never knows what a few hours may bring. 

check it out @Dano1969, not bad for almost 70 years old! 

[CoinJockey73]

And as always

I'd say boring, but i haven't found a WaP in a few weeks. This is the third most popular reverse, in my area behind Marsh-Billings and Salt River Bay. 

Nice way to kick off the week. As always, questions and comments are welcome, and as always, it'll just be me and some chickens, hanging out over here. Enjoy your week, everyone. Check back tomorrow for more nothing.

I hope you know I'm kidding with the bleach/vinegar solution! I believe that combo creates a deadly gas, if i recall correctly from 9th grade earth science, about 40 years ago, lol. Have a great day! 

P.s.

Whatever i did clean that coin with, i believe it damaged the silver, as it feels less smooth, and i little pocked, after the treatment. Oh well.

I say, that any Buffalo you find with a readable date is a great find!

I totally missed that about the chemicals!  Yes a lot of dip solutions really mess up the coin!  But it's worth scrap at a minimum.  3.73 as of this morning.

Why on earth would anybody be paying attention to anything i say, let alone anything with substance, like chemicals! If anyone had made a comment, i would have been in shock over here!

That's just one of those dopey things i say because i think i might know something, and I'm usually wrong, and it usually gets me in trouble with the person. Thank goodness it's you, because you know there's no harm nor foul going on, over in my camp. Just little old me, and some coins, lol. 

As always, your contributions are cherished so, thank you.

Welcome back, on this Tuesday afternoon in the sweltering hot, tri-state area. It's been a week, can you believe it? Just shy of 1000 views, that's about what i was doing over there, so. There's that.

Today has been fun! Instead of going into it thinking, "me me me", i went into it thinking, what can i find to represent my friends over on NGC? But of course, we'll start things off with the junk. I said waaayyy in the beginning, a week ago, that i find impaired proofs, then only found like, one, all week. Found a couple today.

Low mintage 1.4M. "Uncirculated" Sad CJ73 naive story, it can be traced back to CT, on my original daily thread. I found this in S proof, only 900k minted, but i only knew about silver, back then. So i took a pic to post, and threw it back. Will NEVER happen again. Sigh, what a maroon.

 

Edited August 9, 2022 by CoinJockey73
It really is hot! I put the day as Monday!

[CoinJockey73]

Double? Probably. But still a proof (impaired)!

[CoinJockey73]

Daily dose of W

these are definitely in town.

[CoinJockey73]

On to the fun stuff! So there i was thinking, i hope my chum @Quintus Arrius is ok, i haven't seen any SAT words in a few days. It'd be fun if i found a war nickel to call him out with. Bam!

the P stands for. Hoping you're ok

[CoinJockey73]

Then i thought, @Dano1969 mentioned any Buffalo with a readable date is a winner, be cool if i found another one. Bam!

two days in a row! Please say hello to K for me. I'll have something to send off in September, which is horrifyingly right around the corner, so...

[CoinJockey73]

I think @Lem E has a few nice nickels, if i recall correctly, i hope i can find one with an S on it today to show him they're still out there. Bam!

yup, still out there. 

[CoinJockey73]

Hey @zadok, sure, it contributes nothing to no one, but it's fun! It's camaraderie! A bunch of guys with nothing in common with everything in common. A little escape. These aren't finds from the past, btw. These were found today, and that's all I'll ever post, that day's finds. Unless otherwise noted. I'll say, didn't find these, they were a gift! Or something to that effect. I have a pretty decent reputation with some well known members, so you don't think I'm blowing smoke. 

so yes, if all you're coming for here is knowledge, not the thread for you. But if you want to come by, see what's still in circulation, crack a meister brau, chat with the fellas, then heck yeah, drop in and say hi. Post up a pic of a cool coin you found, at any time in your life. All are welcome. If not, i totally understand, and respect, and wish you and yours nothing but the best. But i do hope to see you back. (Last time I'll ever call you out, promise, and my apologies for doing so.)

don't worry fellas, @Frank @ShinyObjects, i didn't forget you guys, just didn't find anything that said, "you guys". Have a great afternoon, everyone!

What's nice is, this is all being documented, right here, on NGC, so when i send everything in to be graded, it can officially be labeled the "CoinJockey73" hoarde, lol. Provenance accepted! Lol hot dog, I'm funny!

You bet.  I like seeing circulation finds... not fake double dies and parking lot coins, but actual finds.  I get excited over every silver coin, W mint, or impaired proof I find in change.  I know that they are not valuable, but it's a fun game.

I do not collect coins for the money or the women.

[CoinJockey73]

Wow! @Just Bob! Big leagues! Pretty cool man, pretty cool!
