thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 11:13 am You have a very nice collection of coins there. I especially like the 1931-S Cent. That is one that I am missing in my Whitman folder. Hopefully not for too long! Report this Post to the Staff

Ummmm, really? Because he WANTED to. Because they are key coins that are counterfeited. Because the Martian mole people told him to. Sheesh. Nice commentary. qk, AWESOME coins dude! VACookey is over here drooling at her computer. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 11:26 pm Thanks for all the compliments folks ! I never really liked slabbed coins but when I was ready to buy the Trade and Seated dollars for my dansco type set, I wanted to get coins that were graded and slabbed so I knew they were real. After those 3 coins, I got my 1909-S-VDB Lincoln Cent and I was hooked on the slabbed coins. I like knowing they are genuine and not fakes.....plus it's nice knowing that the coins wont be damaged when handling them. Once silver gets back up there in value I'll end up selling off all my sets (minus they key dates) and invest in more slabbed key date coins in higher grades. Then I won't need such a big safe deposit box too. LOL Well, since I mentioned them, here are a few of my other slabbed coins in my collection: Report this Post to the Staff
qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 11:33 pm Oops, just noticed I uploaded a wrong pic. The obverse 1836 capped bust pic should have been the 1939-d Walking Liberty half. Here's the right one since I'm not sure how to go back and edit my last post. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 08:47 am A comment on the 1842 $: I do not see an obvious scratch, unless ANACS is talking about that TINY little whatever under the chin. Coins of the Seated Liberty Series often come cleaned. A MINOR scratch, and I really don't see one, does not detract from this coin as its eye appeal is quite pleasing. I totally agree with your philosophy and your goal, qkbird. Stick to your guns! Report this Post to the Staff

silvercoinrn Pillar of the Community United States 863 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 10:25 am Is there a web site that tells all of the key and semi key dates for coins? I have no idea other than morgans and wheat pennies what the key dates are. Report this Post to the Staff

homerecher Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 11:02 pm Question: How can you tell the S/S on the 20c? Through a loupe? Is the doubling very noticeable? Report this Post to the Staff
qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 11:20 pm Thanks again for all the replies. As for the "scratched" listing on my 1842 Seated dollar, There are some very old scratches on both sides. On the obverse, they are very light and between liberty's arm and the stars. On the reverse they are very old as well and between the eagle and lettering. They are all very old and toned with the coin. To me they look like normal scratches and stuff from being in circulation which doesn't bother me. I just like the color of it and that it wasn't listed as "cleaned". Report this Post to the Staff
