    Mr

    Do you have a picture of the other side? That'll identify the denomination and country of origin.
  2. It does have marks, but those that are consistent with being mashed against a nickel, not against a tool. How that happened, I don't really have a guess.
  3. Looks like it got mooshed up against the obverse of a pre-2004 (and judging by what I can make out of the date, 1999 or before, possibly 1960-something) Jefferson nickel. Alas, I am not qualified to tell you if that happened in the mint or afterwards.

    Slabbed Vs. Raw

    I have come to appreciate slabs in certain circumstances. My Ikes are all slabbed; that was a conscious decision to collect them that way, kinda just to do it. Almost all the rest are raw. If I'm buying as a type coin, it just needs to be VF or better in the picture. The Ikes I decided I wanted to all be a minimum of MS-65, and that means professional grading to me. The only other slabs just happened to be the right coin at the right price at the right time.
  5. Having been mostly working from home for the last year and a half, I don't make many cash purchases these days. So I was delighted when a vending machine spit out a Washington Crossing the Delaware quarter... and after 20-some years of not having the date on the obverse, seeing 2021 under George's bust looked *weird*...
  6. I'm afraid I can't read the dates on the coins in the images -- anything from 1963?
  7. Aigh! You're asking me to choose between my children!!
  8. To the best of my knowledge Denver has never minted proof coins, so a 1960D could not be a proof. Beyond that, the most info I could find was here.
  9. Do you also have a picture of the reverse?
  10. Two-fer! 1964-D quarter and 1958 dime, both in quite nice condition.
  11. PCI? I'd say just announce you're going to do it. I'll be in, I promise. Go over the last few, see how they were done, tweak to make them better.
  12. I have lived in Ohio my entire life, and I have never seen those before. Huh.
  13. 1964 Roosevelt dime. I love the ping 90% silver makes.
  14. Yeah, I was hoping to do a UCI this year. I went back over the previous one and spent most of my time giggling over the comments.
