    A one question ?
    Looks brushed or blushed in that one spot.
    Now I want a Donut.
    Speaking of dunkin , found a 1940 nickel.
    Have to find out about the mint marks location because I cant find it.

    Silver !

    Nice coin. Only if the Mint mark is HUGE on the upper portion of the reverse to be Silver. Keep on hunting. ;)

    NOT silver! Mint mark is to the right of Monticello.

    I'd love to know how the tonners get their look.
    Very cool.

    Good question, and this isn't the first time I've come across these. Obviously some moisture but mixed with what? Surface contaminates, cigarette ashes, or maybe ole Scidle worked at a chemical plant - Better go wash up :D

    Somebody went to a junk yard and went through all of the junk cars cup holders?? Some of them Cup holder cents get really toned from all the acidic and surgary liquids being spilled on them.

    @joeykoins The Philippines coin is from 1974 and is not silver but I do see a 1943 silver quarter. Congrats!

    I could see that but what’s up with the numbered stickers?
    I’ve come across these before and wondered if this was some kind of a game that people play.

    I have no idea - never saw that before. I've seen games at carnivals before where they would put numbers on the bottom of those little yellow plastic ducks that would be floating in a pool and you would pay a buck to pick one up - then you either got nothing or some kind of prize depending on the number. Maybe something like that? Who knows for sure.

    1994p Cent

    NO, it's not the 94 ddr. Although, still something cool!
    Besides the Toning.


    On the reverse. Where the ddr would be.

    Feeder Finger scrapes?

    I'm guessing that could be from feeder fingers - a whole coin picture would help get a better feel of what's going on for sure. Usually you don't see the finger damage go down into the devices of the die like on the lower right side of the memorial shows.

    Thanks for checking my coin out. I already did take a whole coin picture? Here's another angle shot. Thanks again. ;)

    I'd say what's going on by the word OF is plating blisters. The scratches in the memorial bays could very well be feeder finger damage/die scratches.
    EDIT: And I'm sorry - yes, you did show full coin pics......totally missed it.

    Removing damaged, dirty, and lower grades I’ve narrowed it down to 43 from roughly 15 rolls of these.
    Now, I’ll get in really close and again narrow it down to the select few and shoot some pics of those and some of the monster toners as well.

    Maybe it's the slight angle, but I'm finding that 2003 to be really pretty :blush:

    Hit a random bank today. Asked if she had any halves she wanted to get rid of. She gave me these. All brand new 96-P's.

    Anyone have a use/need for these??

    @Kurisu- Well, I see your point but I just don't have the time or inclination to search in the hopes of finding a 68. And if I did, then what? Submit them? The off-setting cost doesn't seen feasible.

    Anywho, I'll keep them up here a few days. If someone makes it worth my while to mail them out, I well. If not, I'm throwing them back. I need the money to get other boxes.

    Get your money back while you still can. My first thought was to drill holes and use leather straps to form a nice vest. My second thought naturally :) make a busty bikini or some lingerie.

    Box 2

    NIFC
    1987d

    Low Mintage

    2,890,758

    Another NIFC

    2010p

    Even a lower Mintage

    I find many NIFC's but only save the ones that have the lowest mintages and in high condition.

    Here, pictured is a roll of at least 3 maybe 4, NIFC's. "Many are called, few are chosen." Lol

    Would it be rude or unethical to ask the mints for a list of chemicals ... wait , Isn't there a poster issued by the many EPA branches given to industries under a hazmate retriction, stating this must be posted identifying all chemicals on the property. This might shed some light.

    Today I went back to the bank that had the really cool 80’s rolls. They had a few more left out of which I found a pair of knee knockers B)
    Plus they had a few more rolls of the really colorful ones which I have yet to go through but I’ll get back on that later this evening over a cold beer or 3.
