1964 copper nickel - very bold but dull as a horseshoe

Placid

Just a wild guess as I am not into jefferson nickels.
Bodybag for enviromental damage.

Where are you sending these? To PCGS?

1892-S XF40 ??? bodybag cleaned
1890-CC MS62
1891-CC AU55
1921 MS62 ??? bodybag cleaned
1945h AU55 ??? bodybag questionable color
1964n AU50 ??? bodybag environmental damage


I am not sure where you are sending these, and do not see the coins in person, but I would suggest saving your money and forget about slabbing the last 3, and spend it on some more coins, or a weekend trip to a coin show and look at dealer slabs.

Is it made of copper or nickel, it looks like copper but is it really nickel?---------------------BigE

That nickel looks like a simple case of a nickel that has been buried for a while. What is its weight? How do you know its composition, or is that a guess?

You can make any nickel change to a copper color. All you have to do is stick it in the ground for a few months. mike

I'm not 100% sure on the nickel. I took it to a local shop and they took an educated guess that it is copper.
I'm sending these to NTC.

Why waste the money??

sottykat

I have about 100 coins I'm sending. I only posted the coins that I think could be questionable
just by looking at a picture.

Without seeing the coin in person, it just looks like a dark nickel to me. Have you checked the weight?

This nickel is environmentally damaged and XF details. I second the question on NTC. They're not a respected service in the industry.

sottykat

NTC is somewhat local to me. Thanks for your opinion. Maybe I'll send them to PCGS.
Good point, what others do members recommend?

On this board, most people would say (in differing orders): PCGS, NGC, and ANACS as being the only slabs worth dealing with. Some would say never slab. Your choice, but no one regards NTC, ACG, and the like with any respect on this board.

Of the big three I think you would be beter off to send them to ANACS. I think they have more experience with errors and they will do them for the standard submission fee while I believe with PCGS you have to submit them under the error class at $30. If you send them under the regular submission rates they will either bill you for the difference or send them back as bodybagged as not a proper submission. And you would still be out the fee.

sottykat

Thanks for the reply.
I got the coins and the form ready to go to ANACS.

I saw NTC on Ebay quite often, why I originally went with them.
