You're right. I guess I am a collector. Since I am not educated in this realm, if anyone EVER needs help with autographs, especially Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, I am here for you!

Those last sizes are perfect to help identify everything. I will copy this last photo over to the other side as well. Enjoy your time here and continue to ask questions and post pictures. We love pictures.

Really cool coins, would love to own them, I have yet to find anything older than 1936, on any coins.

Thanks Tights24; I guess I am a collector; just not an educated one. I am pretty educated in the field of autograph collecting, so if anyone has any questions etc about that, I am happy to return the favor. Email anytime. I am not a dealer though; just a collector (so I don't sell anything). I am well versed in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but I do know some other stuff as well.

I am able to tell that the 1978 cent was plated with something. It has that look of having been coated. The details get fuzzy and more "rounded" when a layer of plating is applied. It's still difficult to say just what it was plated with based upon the picture.
