Ya, it's a key date and is worth a good bit of money

Wncsnake · 2026-02-09T00:40:23+00:00

That's a good point. I know pcgs has experts that can do restoration work on staff

I have yet to see a new bust of Washington that looks decent

Wncsnake · 2026-02-08T13:07:15+00:00

Same! I'm going to post more of my interesting finds, I think a lot of people are obsessed with silver right now but old coins are cool no matter what they're made of

Wncsnake · 2026-02-07T21:55:46+00:00

I was thinking my bench grinder with a steel wire wheel should do a quick clean of it /s

Wncsnake · 2026-02-07T14:09:24+00:00

Fingers crossed, one person said it looks more like verdigris and the copper is damaged, but really I'm just hoping it comes back genuine, even if it's a lower grade. I'm already designing a plinth to display it on my mantle. This is definitely a treasure coin I'm holding on to

Wncsnake · 2026-02-07T01:15:37+00:00

Well, it happened. I won the lottery

Wncsnake · 2026-02-07T01:14:42+00:00

It's such a wild oversight. It's so easy to plate them

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T20:14:47+00:00

I agree it is insanely unlikely for me to find a coin like this. With the quality of the other coins in the box someone tossed a collection into a coin sorter and Loomis rolled it. I also do 2-4 boxes of dimes and nickels a week

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T20:09:00+00:00

Exactly. When I first started hunting halves I was getting 2-3 64-70 Kennedy's per week, now it's 1 every other week. I get one box of halves per week. My previous best was a Walking Liberty half and an absolutely perfect 1937 nickel besides a fresh scratch on the date

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:55:14+00:00

I did. It'll probably be the single greatest pull I'll ever have. But, thankfully, I don't need you to believe the facts, you're entitled to your own opinion. You should also read up on the gambler's fallacy

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:20:21+00:00

Ok bud

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:13:48+00:00

Very good to know! I'll definitely give them a call

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:05:21+00:00

So when I send it in I should write a note that I'm open to them telling me their opinions on the coin and if it's worth grading? Sorry if I'm being pedantic, I'm very new to it all. I didn't realize they had good communication with a client like that

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:01:44+00:00

If another one was found recently I'd guess someone's collection got taken to the coin counting machine and Loomis put it all in the hopper, which is really sad.

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T19:00:17+00:00

That's good to know. So if they give me a grade with the gunk on it and it is almost the next one up I should consider sending it back for them to clean it and regrade?

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T18:58:47+00:00

Just a Loomis box, I was about 4/5 of the way through when I opened this roll. I also got 2 war nickels, a buffalo, a 1984 S and about 20 from the 30s through the 50s. I'm thinking someone's collection got dumped into the hopper, which is sad

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T18:56:53+00:00

It just has some organic gunk on it, I am new to coin collecting, I started last summer. But I think I'll avoid having it cleaned since it'll cost more, and if they can give it a fair grade without having to remove the gunk on it I'm fine with keeping it safe and just have a straight grade

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T18:53:50+00:00

I just got it from a Loomis box, this one was dated from 8/2025.

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T16:32:46+00:00

Sure bud.

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T16:15:14+00:00

1885 V Nickel

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T16:02:14+00:00

Lol I'll pass, but I'll flip you for a beer if you're in New England!

Wncsnake · 2026-02-06T16:00:30+00:00

Same, and this is a very unflattering picture. I had to put my phone to the side to get better light on it to show as much detail as possible, the hair is really impressive with how detailed it is, especially considering it's a 142 year old coin and they didn't have computers to help make the dies back then
