    This forum is not your personal venue for hawking your coins. The marketplace forum is the place to sell coins. Please stop spamming this forum.
    And, while I have your attention, intruding on other posters threads, trying to sell them coins for which they are not looking, is in poor taste.

    @murder69 is nothing but a spammer and huckster.  He is promoting his eBay site and trying to sell in nearly every post.  I would beware of this member.

    I feel sorry for some of the new collectors that join this site. All the do this and don't do that post, just upset new members. There are better, more friendly ways to teach.

    Just Bob got a reaction from Coinbuf in Which of these Coins is a Better Purchase for a Newbie?   
    His link was to coins that he has for sale on eBay. He was trying pretend that he was asking about the coins, when he was actually trying to get people to look at the coins he had for sale. That is spam.
    I don’t know how I messed this post up, but this is what I was quoting:
    The gentleman, technically, wasn't selling anything. His Topic was essentially a solicitation for advice: Is this coin a better investment for a Newbie, or that one?

    The newbie section is not for listing coins that you are selling. Also, trying to disguise your selling post as a question is deceptive. Posts like this definitely won't earn you any respect on this forum.
    The Marketplace forum is the proper place to put posts like this.

    I don’t know if you have the time or the inclination to do it, but a picture montage showing the progression of the crack from the earliest stage to the latest would make for a very interesting thread.

    Well, that is the last time I try to do the chat board on my phone. Couldn't see the pic so clear. I'm on my laptop now and it didn't take me but a second to see that was a Memorial Cent reverse pressed into it. No more cell chat for me!

    Just Bob got a reaction from brg5658 in I am buying this coin convince me not too. I am high bidder and will bid up to $1200.00 My current winning bid is less than half of $1200.00 36hrs till hard close. My assigned grade is private but it's pretty high grade. Mistake? Steal? Break even? lol   
    Cranking up the contrast and exaggerating the color are precisely what is meant by the term “juiced.” It may not be the correct terminology, but it is popular internet terminology, especially when referring to enhanced pictures of coins.

    You are correct that most of these business strike nickels have a thin, sharp or somewhat rounded rim when they are uncirculated, but, if you look at nickels (or pictures of nickels) that are very worn, like your coin, you will find that many of them have rims that have been worn flat and have a square appearance the same as your coin. If you submit this coin to NGC for authenticating as something special, it is going to be another expensive lesson (hopefully) learned.
