Re: Not coin related but forum related...

As MLC said, it changes based on your post count. I believe first change level is 50, then 100. Not sure after that. Just keep posting, and you'll find out ;)

Howdy, this is Buster the coin collector

I really do go by Buster. Use to collect coins when younger. Collected stamps, hot wheels, sports cards and figures, etc... Now I'm back to coins, where I should of been, a long time ago!

Re: TOUGH CALL ON STRIKE THROUGH

Welcome. As to the backwards lettering., note how it is sunken onto the surface instead of raised? Another penny was in contact with the one that was damaged when it took its hit. The BERTY was impressed from one onto the other - which is why it is backwards. Lol...To be fair, no one can really know...

The main reason I would be interested in a microscope is so I could see coins at 5,10,15x on my screen, I have a medical issue with my eyes where if I just spend a few minutes with a loupe, I can't read or see much of anything else for hours.

Ancient Roman denarius of Hadrian

I managed to pick up this beautiful denarius of Emperor Hadrian last week and at a good price too. :) The writing around the edge of the obverse says: “IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANUS AUG” I love the toning on it!

They are out there "1954 D" Silver

I received this 1954 D Roosevelt Dime on Friday 05/21/2021 as change from a Jack in the box here in Washington. A couple of weeks before I got a wheat cent from the same store. Someone is paying for lunch with oldies. Keep searching.

Hi

Hello everyone I'm Mandi. When my son was little liked collecting coins, but he's since grew up and moved away and I reckon he left me with the bug. I find myself going through all our change looking for old coins. I don't really know to much about coins, but I know I find it fun and interesting.

WWII item on Memorial Day

Found my dad's short snorter in an old family bible. He was in the 8th Air Force in WWII. The 8th lost more men in WWII than the entire Marine Corps so I am lucky he made it back home safe. I wonder how many of the signers weren't as lucky. Remembering them on Memorial Day.

I came across this a few minutes ago going through some wheat cents. This will make the 3rd example I've found. Verified using varietyvista.com, coppercoins.com, and doubleddie.com.

Re: Anyone know what this might be?

Not to be a kill joy, but keep in mind that there have been many of these made and sold as souvenirs for a long time. Is is difficult to tell in the photograph, but a porous looking surface is typical of cast copies. So compare yours with pictures of verified slabbed items and also pictures of copies.

Re: 1909-s indian head, maybe

Good idea. They will likely be able to tell. Someone who has seen and studied fakes can catch a good majority of them.

Another way to tell is to do an analysis of known mint mark positions, and also an overlay onto a good picture of yours. Most fakes will fail an overlay test.

1. Dipping it in PURE acetone (read the label) and letting it sit a few seconds would get rid of the PVC residue.
