I havent had a Cherry Pick in awhile...Buff Nickel

Jinx86Jinx86 Posts: 3,666 ✭✭✭✭✭
Bought a set of nickels and started piecing it out. Nearly tossed this in the common full date bucket.
Matches fairly well with the Cherry Pickers Guide. What says the group.

    Thanks for confirming my thoughts. With this variety would I have to pay for variety attribution or would it be cover as a well know variety?

    if it has a coin #...just send it in under that

    only if you want the "FS" number on the slab you have to go through the variety sub stuff
    as it is a good to go just with coin #

    it could squeak in a f12...vg10 most likely

    I'm pretty sure you would have to pay for that one. the 37-D no, but this one yes.

    Nice pick - I would give it a shot. Send it in and see what they say. Even if not, you could probably get at least slab fee.

    A guy in the coin club is putting a together a Buff set and starting out with the cheapest problem free coin Good or better but slabbed. Some of the common dates he has as high as MS66. But the expensive better dates he wants the cheapest problem free coin he can find good or better to fill the hole. Many people are doing this, its a sort of reverse registry craze. Somebody probably bought a burger or hotdog with that coin, who knows. He bought some circ Buff rolls around bid on those and slabbed some (common dates) to fill holes. A neat way to enjoy the hobby on a budget.

    I may be wrong on the fee. I just checked the pop report and it has it's own number without clicking on the +......so maybe no fee.
  • Jinx86Jinx86 Posts: 3,666 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I don't have QF's what's the pop in 8 and 12?

    It is what you think it is. A nice cherry of a very tough variety-I've only ever found two in 25 years of looking.
