Post a coin you own that doesn't get enough love

gumby1234gumby1234 Posts: 5,901 ✭✭✭✭✭

Some coins just seem to not get the attention that they deserve. Like this 1982 no P Roosevelt. It would seem that the only circulation minted coin that had the mintmark accidentally left off and doesn't have probably more than 10000 in existance would be much more popular. Post a pic of a coin you own that doesn't get enough love.

    An interesting true error coin, is yours the strong or weak variety?

    Strong, the date is the key. Look at the 2

    Nice, as the TPG's do not certify the weak variety there is not that much in the way of photo references on the differences. I'm pretty sure that the one I have is the weak variety.

    @pointfivezero Thats unfortunate for the milk spotting. Otherwise a beautiful coin.

    Only if it belonged to you dear old beloved grandmother. Otherwise it’s worth more like that as gold

    That 1904 double eagle has been polished so it's essentially now a bullion coin and not worth the cost of slabbing. I suggest that you just leave it in the bezel.

    I thought it was neat. I "over-payed" for it a bunch of years ago a whopping $21 bucks.

    @gumby1234.... OK, I do not recall that... however, it could have been a copy/paste to make a point.... I really do not know of any I have...I will look around though, maybe one has come down with the dreaded disease. ;) Cheers, RickO

    Not sure where to start or where to end. Having written that I suspect at the end of the day no one would know or appreciate the difference anyway
