About Me
Hello, I have been collecting for a long time, off and on since about 1969. I mainly collect 19th century slabbed circulated type coins but also collect tokens and other exonumia and also enjoy putting together sets of US coins in albums. I’m also very much into vintage coin albums such as Wayte Raymond and similar.

This one looks almost white metal or german silver in the photos. I also dont think that the circulating Indian Cents of that composition were "planed down" as that seller stated. Planchets in CU-Ni were available as seen in these specialty strikes, especially in the MidwestHow does it look in hand? Usually the copper nickel strikes display a kind of pinkish off white color.

- Don't see many copper nickel compositions, mostly brass, tin, and lead as "other" or "white metal" tokens. Obviously the die broke and likely due to how harder that metal is. Would be interesting to get an XRF analysis done on it, to see what the metal used really is. Really cool!Don't see many copper nickel compositions, mostly brass, tin, and lead as "other" or "white metal" tokens. Obviously the die broke and likely due to how harder that metal is.

- Mr_Spud I can't guarantee that it broke, (I should have said it is close to breaking), from the die cracks it sure looks close to failing, I can't imagine it would last much longer with all the die cracks on the reverse in a pattern like that. I wonder if there are other tokens of the same variety showing any cuds from missing chunks on the reverse?[Mr_Spud] I can't guarantee that it broke, (I should have said it is close to breaking), from the die cracks it sure looks close to failing, I can't imagine it would last much longer with all the die cracks on the reverse in a pattern like that.

- I wonder if coins where a high percent of guessers guess a grade higher than the grade on the slab are ones with a higher probability of upgrading. Not necessarily to upgrade them, but more like for marketing purposes. For example, if you could state in an auction description that the coin scored a higher grade on a certain percent of the time and it could be verified like a cert lookup if the owner wants it to be public knowledge.I wonder if coins where a high percent of guessers guess a grade higher than the grade on the slab are ones with a higher probability of upgrading.

- it presents an opportunity for GreatCollections, they could put the grading distribution from Guess The Grade on the auction page for a coin if it indicates its undergraded, and they could put a link to the coin on Guess The Grade if the coin is up for sale to advertise.it presents an opportunity for GreatCollections, they could put the grading distribution from Guess The Grade on the auction page for a coin if it indicates its undergraded, and they could put a link to the coin on Guess The Grade if the coin is up for sale to advertise.

- DeadCatWaltz thanks, I wasn’t expecting to buy a gold $10 piece today at the Long Beach Show, which is where I got it at, but when I saw it I jumped on it. I really like the way this coin looks[DeadCatWaltz] thanks, I wasn’t expecting to buy a gold $10 piece today at the Long Beach Show, which is where I got it at, but when I saw it I jumped on it.
