1936 Philadelphia right, not a better date? Places routinely give out AU buffalo nickels to kids at coin shows for free.


I have a few things I would like graded, but man they make it a pita. I have a 1736 6400 reis gold coin my grandfather found on a beach in antigua when my mother was a child. Its pretty low grade but I wonder if they would mark it ship wrecked.

I also have an 10$ indian I think would come back MS 64 or better but doesnt really matter on most pre 33 gold. It hardly carries a premium over regular buillion these days even graded.

Last coin show I was at they were selling common date 20$ gold libertys and St gaudens for gold melt value, in MS65 state. A crazy good deal I think but gold is expensive and they were still $3300. Was selling the ungraded ones at slightly below melt. You can buy all the 90% silver you want below melt at coin shows these days.
