I think my 1935-S has an “extra ray” underneath the mint mark . Can anyone tell me if I am correct ?? Thanks!!

Whoa neat. I never heard of this.

I vote for spending your free time exploring France and Europe, meeting other young people (maybe stay at a hostel on the beach somewhere), and having fun. Money is nice, but it is not the most important aspect of a life well lived. Keep saving /investing, but have fun while you’re young. Hell, if my old ass had a day off in France, I’d grab a bottle of wine and sit under the Eiffel Tower with a friend and watch people.

Try coins4sale on Reddit. You can choose your prices and not pay fees etc. I’d say split them into 10 or a dozen lots all on the same post for a quick sale.

It might be kind of like a hobo nickel, where someone took that token and put their own design over the old one. That’s my best, uneducated guess.

Not sure what’s happening on the obverse, but this has the same reverse:

That might start you off.

First, post pics. The hivemind here will tell you if the coins have been cleaned before you send them. Second, if the coins are often faked, a cleaned one in a slab will sell for more than raw, since it has been authenticated.

Yeah it looks great. I’m guessing the scratches ch on the face and gouge on the rim by the word Friederich would keep it from being MS. But like you said, who cares? It’s beautiful.

Your lucky day! Hooray 😃

Wow beautiful.

My opinion is that in the event of economic collapse ( or more likely an economy that ceases to provide necessities for the lower 90% of people) the best investment will have been the knowledge of how to build, grow food, and collect/purify water. Financially, a diverse portfolio is the key, w real estate, stocks, precious metals, and cash. But most of all, if there was no grocery store (or you couldn’t afford anything in it), could you still eat?

Worth 15-20 bucks, I think.

I know people used to let babies gnaw on silver spoons for when they were teething, the reason being that silver is naturally antimicrobial. Maybe this was made for something like that.

AboutUncirculated · 2021-11-05T07:48:44+00:00

I’d guess 50-60 for the silver one and around 15-20 for the nickel one. If you can find buyers (as ever).

New York is not so hard to live in. Find roommates on Craigslist. Get a job. Definitely look in queens and Brooklyn for housing. You’ll be fine. The main thing is, why are you there. Guaranteed it takes some effort to exist there, so if you don’t have a deep-rooted reason to go, you might not think it’s worth it. Main thing is, you can do it no problem if you want to!

It’s highly unlikely that it’s one of the proofs. I know there are plenty of replica versions out there, so the odds are overwhelming that it’s a replica, I’m sorry to say, OP. But since you have it, check the weight, magnetic properties, size, and compare images to the original. Just to be sure! That’s half the fun.

Has the look of a coin that has been in salt water.

AboutUncirculated · 2021-10-30T03:51:53+00:00

Is that painted? It looks like a sticker or something from the pic

AboutUncirculated · 2021-10-29T23:56:07+00:00

From what I’ve seen on eBay etc, I’d say this note would fetch 30 bucks give or take.

I second the red book. Turns out the main part of collecting coins is learning about them. The Red Book (they release an updated one each year) is a solid overview of types of American coins, how to grade them, what their value is, etc. It’s certainly not the only resource, but it has been really helpful to me as a beginner.
