I'd say 1948-S because of the shape and distance of the top loop from the 4.

The loop R definitely looks good. Some surface corrosion, but a nice find!

1942 P Type 2 Mint Error On A Silver Planchet Weighing 4.6/4.7 Grams

Thus the error that nickel that sold for $9,999 was 100% silver and its weight was 4.7 grams.


There were no nickels struck on 100% silver planchets. The PCGS coin above is an error because it is a Type 1 struck on a 35% silver planchet. Yours is a normal Type 2 struck on a 35% nickel planchet, slightly underweight due to wear.

Not sure what the error is. Perhaps slightly underweight, but the 1942-P Type 2 is normally on a 35% silver planchet.

Tax On Coins On Ebay?

Did you received that message from a potential buyer? Sales tax on eBay is automatically charged based on the buyer's state. Perhaps you have a coin listed in a category that is taxed (like coin supplies or something), and someone is asking that you list it in a coin category so that it won't be taxed in his state.

Looks genuine to me. A scarce coin like this will always have some value, but given the heavy damage and poor eye appeal, it might only be around 10% of the value of an undamaged coin in similar grade.

I'd say MS-63 with die polishing lines on the reverse.

Here are images of the 1969-S DDO from PCGS. It's not subtle.

It seems that getting the date and mintmark right would be the easy part. I'm sure it will get better as the algorithm improves, but how would it be expected to learn if it doesn't get feedback on the grade from a TPG?

I didn't realize that desktop has a portrait mode.

I use my iPad a lot, and it's always locked in portrait mode, while my wife is always in landscape mode. Neither of us can tolerate doing it the other way.

It's a great coin, but I wouldn't go the auction route on eBay. It's a specialist coin without a large pool of buyers willing to pay the price, and the right people might not be watching eBay that week. So you could try BIN for awhile on eBay, or you might do better getting it graded and attributed, then selling at GC or HA. Just my opinion.

I'd say AU details, cleaned. But 38-D Buffalos in high grade are fairly common, so even if it was a straight-graded MS-65, it wouldn't be worth getting it graded.

Very nice photos. Nothing wrong with using artificial light (1 or 2 light sources) instead of sunlight. Just make sure you adjust the white balance to get the color accurate. You can light the coin more consistently and sometimes show luster better that way. Still looks like an AU-58 to me.

I think the coin looks out of shape because the seller took the pictures at an angle and I had to bring it back to round.


The reverse photo definitely looks distorted--the eagle looks way off center. I'd also say MS-64.

Super coin! I'd say PF-63. Are the dark spots on the reverse rim in your second photo just shadows, or toning spots?
