This coin has a weight of 5.3-5.4 A regular weighing no more than 5.7 I believe. Don't quote me on that but that's what my scale said

Always, but sadly I gravitate to broken toys. Funny enough, I had no idea this coin existed about two weeks ago. I like that I learn something new every day.

...wasnt much else there to hoard, wine n gold...define ur use of the word "french", people or govt or both n then or now or both?....

...dont let the word "saint" mislead u....

@powermad5000would you happen to know if the charges from ngc and ncs would be separate, I ask because ngc has charged my cc but the charge was missing the conservation fee, if they are separate I don't know how ncs would charge me without a method of payment

Back to Roosters and the French .....doing some original article reading and the amount of gold hoarding by the French populace in the late-1920's/early-1930's was astounding. I've noted here the rise in gold reserves by the U.S. (big) and France (huge) as nations in the 1920's. Individually, the French seemed more in a hoarding mode than citizens of the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and other countries. Without their Roosters being available, they went to the other birds: the Eagles and Double Eagles.

Hello and welcome to the forum! I would say you have a dryer coin that got stuck in a spot where the reverse was jammed causing that reverse damage but the edge was able to spin wiping out the reeded edge and make the edge a little wider with some additional heat exposure overall as well which would explain the darker coloration on the reverse.

I also sent in an NGC slabbed Morgan with some unattractive toning for NCS conservation and regrade. NCS declined conservation on the grounds that if conserved it would affect its grade negatively and therefore declined conservation. It was not scheduled for grading since they left it in the original slab. I don't watch my submissions like a hawk so I can't tell you in a similar fashion what happened to mine. Not sure why your coin would be scheduled for grading unless it was actually conserved. The NCS turnaround time is stated as such as I could only imagine when they are at full capacity so people don't think it only takes a day or so, and I am sure that turnaround time can be considerably less if there not many coins coming into their system. If it was not conserved they will only charge the $5 fee so if you have any statements showing a charge for only $5 then it was not conserved. It sounds to me though like NCS already turned your coin back to NGC after conservation and it is in the system now to be graded.

Hello and welcome to the forum! The 1922 Peace dollar is one of the higher mintages in the series and therefore is very common. Also, since it was early after the introduction of the series, many collectors obtained and stored these in choice to gem BU and therefore, there are many excellent specimens widely available to collectors at reasonable prices. Your coin exhibits loss of detail from general circulation wear as well as a lot of marks, nicks, and hits, and some deep scratches on the reverse which would be considered as damage, a spot of environmental damage on the eagle, and some rim dings. Overall, your coin would only be considered for purchase by a low ball collector and the offer would only be for its melt value around $20 or so.

While this is a nice pocket change find still retaining its red color, it does show circulation marks and if considered as MS it would be in the low MS range. Despite MS 60 showing in the price guides as $2.50, the reality of its value in the marketplace is considerably less due to its mintage number of 1,051,342,000. When these were released, there were many collectors who stored uncirculated rolls of these, sometimes in hoard amounts. I myself even have a full roll of these in choice BU. Therefore, plenty of choice to gem BU specimens are widely available and easily obtained at very low prices. You could buy one of these in MS 66 RD already in the slab for less than it will cost you to send this to a TPG. End conclusion being I would definitely not submit this cent for grading but rather put it in an album or keep it in a 2x2 cardboard flip.

Welcome to the forum, looks like a dryer coin. Coins get stuck against the drum of a clothes dryer and that can cause what you see here. Other possible causes are intentional damage to the rev and the rim may have been spooned. You can google spooned coins for an in-depth explanation and some comparison photos. But my money is on a dryer coin.

Can anyone tell me about this new Hampshire 2000 quarter

I am always wondering if people decide to just give up on holding on to stored rolls of these and end up just spending them. I could only imagine some people who put away BU rolls of these when they were first released in the thoughts and hopes that 30-40 years later those rolls would add significant value only to find in todays terms they are really not worth that much. Disappointment setting in on their original plan, they just decide it's not worth the trouble to try to even sell them so they spend them. Excellent finds though!

I don't protest. I see a coin, and think, "Is it possible to do better?" And if the answer is, "I believe so," I check it out. And I did. No matter what, it's too late now. The seller sold the coin to the buyer. Me. Becsuse there were 5 potential buyers watching, no bidding -- but only one avaliable, I had to move fast. You don't have to like it. It'll be yours. I had no idea it was part of a set. I have had a very, very long day... 18 hrs. It's FREE! It's YOURS!

1893-CC Morgan dollar, now NGC graded VF 30:

Henri, methinks you doth protest too much sir. Don't worry about it. I will probably purchase this set eventually. . .or you can for me. . . That way, I can learn to dot dot dash dash dot dash dash dot dot dot ._.. _ _ _ ._..

You are apparently looking at the score shown on the NGC Coin Explorer, but on the set I linked, a VF example is listed at 1531 points under the "Eligible Coins" listing. If you think that the score you received should be increased, you may request a score correction as shown in the following topic on the Registry forum: You may be able to find answers to other questions on the Registry forum, including in the section entitled "NGC Registry Help and Instructions". You may also want to post questions about the Registry on the forum for answers from the Administrator, who monitors it.

I too have never seen this before and I suspect it is an Indian token or amulet. I agree with the comment above that the Burmese is gibberish, probably an attempt to make it look like it came from Burma-Myanmar. I would certainly not pay 9 crore rupees for it.

If you look up the coin on NGC it says a 3 legged nickel vf is worth 700$ 820 points I have 357 coins in the NGC registry they are making a mistake on my pcgs graded coin just took me a minute figure it I appreciate your smart answer

If this remark does not get me barred from the Board for Life, I cannot imagine what would: I DO NOT LIKE YOUR COIN! I dislike it so much (and the remarks elicited from Members which following it, that I resolved, then and there, to order you one more befitting display on this Forum. I don't care much for flaws so I had to reach for that "bag" provided as a courtesy to airline passengers (familiar to my colleague z) when they suddenly experience bouts of nausea. I fought PayPal tool and nail, but I would not be deterred. I placed the order. As the one of the Forum's "Rising Stars," I shall assume all costs and ask only you do not reciprocate. You may pay your kindness forward. At your earliest convenience, if you would PM me a secure address (i.e., an address, that isn't posted on a box on a pole just inches from the street where thefts therefrom are known to have occurred) I would be delighted to forward it to you, or a trusted friend, on or about May 1st. *** Some facts about your coin... The coin, as you are aware, is a 12-sided dodechedron, minted in an alloy (88% Cu and 12% Zn) using a term I never heard of. "Tombac." It is the U.S. equivalent of a "Wartime" nickel and features a burning torch and and a large V for victory. And lastly (and curiously) a message written in Morse code encirles the obverse rim, circumferentially. Here, most regrettably, I must wield the late, great Oldhoopster's biting retort: "Look it up!." [For those obsessed with size, while it is virtually indistinguishable from the French 20-francs gold rooster, it exceeds its diameter by all of one (1) mm. Obviously, gold makes it heavier.]

Er....I'm not so sure about that.
