That error really is cool. The copper on the mushroom part of the reverse looks like icicles.

And acloco, that second '31-s in the PCI slab looks like a 66 or better with those pictures. I think a crossover to PCGS could bring a nice bit of money.

Cruisinfusion - I agree. Having a hard time cracking that PCI slab - NOT because it is in a PCI slab, but because the coin is that nice.
Don't believe this will go red, but definitely RB. PCGS population is TWO in MS66RB.

WesternSki================= Quote:My best Cherry's so far have been: 1) 1935-P DDR Buffalo in AU out of a picked over Dansco album Buffalo set for 35 cents from a local dealer. Needed to be "conserved" due to some crud. Ended up in an NGC AU 58 holder. 2) 1917-D 3 1/2 leg Buffalo in AU out of an old Library of coins album at a coin show in Utah on a Sunday afternoon. Had to buy the whole set to get the one coin I wanted. No problem with that! It ended up in a PCGS AU holder. (Sorry, no pics... both were sold several years ago $$$$..... Can't keep everything!) Very Happy for your great buy from this dealer. Good for you!  |

It's not an error ... but This 1872 Seated Liberty quarter popped up on ebay a few days ago (in the middle of the night) for 75 dollars including postage. It was a "buy it now" listing. It looks to have been a metal detector find because it's still got "crud" around the legends and devices, but at 168,000 produced, it's value is appreciably more than 75 dollars. It looks artificially toned ... but its a genuine US coin and not a Chinese knock off. Chance   Edited by Chancellor Sutler

That quarter is still quite beautiful! I would pay $75 in a heartbeat!

1912-D nickel in F-VF for $1.25 from a junk box. I upgraded it to an XF so I don't have pics

Acetone soak might help, Chancellor.

Acetone's a safe thing to use and I already have it on hand, so when it arrives, I'll see if that removes the crud. I actually did find a pretty cool V nickel in a lot once. It was struck on a foreign planchet. The only other thing I ever cherry picked, was a snow 9 Flying Eagle cent in VF for 35 bucks. Chance |

You guys are so good and these are great stories. I just finished going through 1000s of coins and wonder how many things I've overlooked. How do you learn to pick up on such minute things?

I spent 2000+ low grade (greasers) Ikes before I even knew what A .400 silver Eisenhower dollar was. May have lost 2-3 coins.  Positive I spent or dumped several dozen Grease Filled Die coins. To be fair to my self === Had to dump quickly with the first 2-3 bags. Needed the $$$$ to get the next $1,000 bag. Stay with CCF. LEARN LEARN LEARN |

Had a story for a Canadian coins cherrypick and I realize now that this is classic US coins. Oops! |
