- Was President Eisenhower a coin collector? Apparently so. However, several of the AI apps say not, until I provide a link to a 2018 short article I wrote.

Documentations that I have uncovered makes it the first medal that was designed and manufactured within the Kingdom of Hawaii. NGC top pop at MS 66.

- Anyone have an info on what is going on with this 3 cent nickel? I am not an error expert in the least some some help is appreciated. It looks like it was struck through some fibers. There is strange doubling everywhere on the obverse. I have posted an overlay of the obv and rev so it is not clashed dies.7 Comments 0 Shares 3762 ViewsCommenting is disabled.
- Lines look raised so possibly the die itself was hubbed through debris, like some fibres. They'd be incuse if it were struck through fibres. Also, that's not true doubling. It's Longacre doubling. Google "Error-Ref Longacre's Doubling" for more info. Very common on coins of this era.Lines look raised so possibly the die itself was hubbed through debris, like some fibres.

- I agree that those stange lines appear to be fibers or possibly threads from a rag used to wipe off the die. As far a the doubling, this is common on this series as well as a few others, and appears to be material extruded beyond what the die recess can hold. I'm guessing that maybe the striking pressure may have been a little too high. Any striking of nickel coinage has a wealth of issues as nickel is a 'tough' material. I am actually very impressed that early nickel coinage has some great strikes and the mint was able to overcome many minting issues early on. Still we have an interesting selection of 'problem solving' examples.I agree that those stange lines appear to be fibers or possibly threads from a rag used to wipe off the die.

- I inherited some coins from my grandparents over 25 years ago. I took them out quite recently, wondering about the value of each. I am questioning if any should be graded and the likely value of each. I have taken a few photos based on a little online research. I have not examined any of the coins for errors. I would appreciate any estimates or advice in how I might proceed. I have attached a few of the dollars and one of the dimes, of which there are about 160. Thanks!10 Comments 0 Shares 3961 ViewsCommenting is disabled.

- Nice coins! Silver dollars are very popular collectibles. There is nothing too exciting as far as dates/mintmarks are concerned but they are still very valuable coins. If you can, buy a Red Book (you can buy at local coin shop or online). It will teach you the basics for grading and you can look up the retail values for each coin in that guide book based on grades. It's fun too.
Hope this helps!

Personally I like the 1907, and I would be very curious to see the accompanying silver medals. The medals could be pretty cool, especially if they were high relief.

- Saints2552 Yeah, I'm not a fan of them making everything .999 because then it's just like premium bullion than a traditional coin. I like the colours gold gets when there's a little copper or silver mixed in it.[Saints2552] Yeah, I'm not a fan of them making everything .999 because then it's just like premium bullion than a traditional coin.

- The draped bust actually looks fairly good in that picture. But I'd imagine it's a proof with that god awful laser etched cameo they use now. I really can't stand proofs made after 2010 when they switched from the sandblasted cameo. The SLQ redesign silver medal was my favourite of this revival series of classic coins. Some people didn’t like it, but I though the obverse was really beautiful. Better than the original.The draped bust actually looks fairly good in that picture.

- Apparently the 1804 has an "uncirculated" finish. Not a proof. But it still has a strange grainy look. Looks better than a proof though, so that might actually be a winner for me.Apparently the 1804 has an "uncirculated" finish. Not a proof. But it still has a strange grainy look.

- Zach150 I just collect the business strikes of those. I'm not a fan of the proofs. They just look worse. It goes against the whole point of a proof. Just look at how obliterated the fine details are by this laser etched cameo. The palm tree goes from looking like an actual palm tree to a clip art silhouette. The feathers look all weird, the seam of the beak is gone. Proofs are supposed to have sharper detail, not less detail altogether. For the last 16 years the proofs of the US Mint and Royal Canadian Mint have been atrocious looking.[Zach150] I just collect the business strikes of those. I'm not a fan of the proofs.

It ended up selling for something crazy, like 12 grand... I can't remember. Then like a week later the cert number got deleted.
