I had this one at F+ floor was slow wanted $90 I got it at $80 a little steep for raw but the coin looks strong in hand most signs of any old cleaning have re toned nicely orange black blue. My thoughts were a straight grade. Sore disapointment with a barber table many raw overgraded better date pre 1900 dimes in F labled XF and VF+ as AU I tried subtle courtesy explaining I'm intrested in purchasing several ready to buy dealers price rigid no negotiations period. Held my tounge remembering don't burn bridges and grading is subjective. He had a blue green orange 1894 P in mid AU marked MS64 sigh...still had fun these better dates in Fine a slow crawl.
Your example looks like moderate doubling in all outer reverse devices, check the initials their likely doubled also. The doubling in lower left clockwise very similar to the 2022 P and D Cents. Good eye nice one.
Congratulations on a an exceedingly rare find very very good news both for you and the other gentelman. If you both decide to auction this beauty I hope it goes wacko high! Thank you for sharing. This one gets the bump up I see BU MS-64 Red.
The FG looks like its flared on your coin and correct position for the RDV 006 but to be sure post a much better closeup of the FG. Whoops! no wonder I see flared G you posted a 1989 D with normal reverse of 1989 my mistake.
gigi don't get sucked into the 1922 D die state series rabbit hole you will never return and you will want them all...them want them all again in higher grade!
only a few years ago a stunning PCGS MS-61 BN die #4 example sold for just under $600 all in. I was off running with Barber coinage at time and poo-fooed that coin...bittersweet regret. Ive studied that coin and even in MS the details are shockingly worn and smudgy , man they pounded that die hard I wonder if it finally fractured to bits or they finally pulled it?
Love these 1922 weak D die 4's don't see many originals above VG PCGS has this one at VF-25 with smooth choclatie patina. GreatCollections has choice VG example closing tommorrow for those intrested. Seems the die #4 can be found with patientce but expect a premium over dies #1 #3. Enjoy all.
Nice looking example rare variety tough to find. My example is AU BN with counting machine marks. Seems for a price you can pick up the 88 P with some effort but the 88 D is the tough one, don't see them at auction much. Pop reports of certified 1988 D 901's are lower than 1992 close AM. Will this coin ever get the attention recognition it imo deserves? Beautiful coin.
I went back to Buffalo Nickel school and I stand corrected, coin lacks the AU sharpness and overall punch expected with AU. Good eyes everyone thank you for opionions.
Pacific your tough on this nickel, Ive looked at some AU-50 pcgs examples scuffed up and with less horn and less rim gap from tail to rim. Liberty looks strong flatness on 3 and head appear morr strike issue thsn wear? Technically shouldnt coin be AU?
Shots fight each other between Pixlar and Google. Rest assured their pin tip clear until ran through pixlar's thunder run. No excuses here its on my end can't figure it out.
Frogg your tough on Buffs I take XF-45 from you as a compliment. This coin had some nefarious pals: acid dates, pvc, scratches and cleaning way over priced junk then I see this at $28.00 scratch my head and bought it. Cherrypicked a decent DDR Morgan VAM along with this Buff.
Looks like old obverse cleaning but liked the doubling in lower section of reverse lots of minor doubling throughout and In God We Trust not bad. Another pawnshop cherrypick thanks for looking happy new year!
Nice example. I sold him a coin years ago with a short message "hope your pleased thank you for your business" haha he writes me back says "I will save the emotions until I see the coin" I cracked up no offense was taken at all - he's a bigshot and I tell ya his checks don't bounce so ol DeLoy's tops in my book.
