proof

I was just at Walmart walking to check the CS when I got a Tornado warning for Bexar County last night. Found a small score of change inside the tray, then headed on out. In the parking lot I used my phone flash light to check and see what I got. No silver but what appeared to be another zinc...

Hello all. I bought this framed picture, I always had a liking to wooden sailboats and ponds. Being this an older frame/picture, I took the frame apart and removed picture to clean the glass, I noticed something strange. On the backside of the picture was another picture of WWII Hitler. No I...

Hey everyone, I've been doing lots of nickel hunting and I thought I would show you a few things and get a second opinion on a coin I found today. So since my last post, I've found two more war nickels- one (1943-p) very high mintage and the other (1944-d) much lower mintage. I also found my...

Newbie question, here -- I'm learning about half dollars. I need to understand the difference between recognizing a "satin finish" on the 2005-2010 Denver half dollars vs recognizing a "proof mirror-like finish". Any guidance from the experienced CRH-ers? Thanks!

First off I would like to say that I'm new to the site...and I love it! Thank you! Since this is my first post, I hope I'm doing this right. Unfortunately, due to health complications I'm having pull out my stash of coins and sell what I can. So, I've been doing a lot of research to help me...

Hi there! First time here. I hope I came to the right place (and posted on the proper board). I just bought a 'lot' of 200 coins and found this 1981-S proof penny in the mix. I was hoping you guys could help me identify it for sure, if it's type 1 or 2. sorry I can't get better pics, I only...

Not long ago I bought this lot for $18. I waited a week and here it is! 1942 D Merc 1938 D Merc 1961 Quarter Did I score getting this for $18? And what do you people estimate these are worth? Give me your opinions.

I know this is not a coin roll find or a metal detector find but I do not know exactly if it is a proof or not. I once bought a 1940 MS-63 nickel but it looked like it had proof features like a cameo I was wondering if it was a proof. It is probably not but it might be. Do you think it is a...

I was new to searching nickel rolls and exchanged three junk nickel rolls from my change bin.I went to the bank and got three rolls. one roll had a 1946 nickel on the end.I exchanged the junk nickels the next day for two more rolls. the first roll I opened had a 1976s proof nickel. I could tell...

Finally got my first silver half proof yesterday! A 1976S found in a box from a bank off the beaten path. Has certainly been one interesting week for CRH for me. I wonder what tomorrow will bring!

Hi Folks, Happy Holidays! I had a great score today on halves. I picked up $2K from a bank that has been pretty lucky for me in the past and today was no exception. I ended up finding 38 silver coins in that 2K! Box one just had one 40%er. Box two had just one 40%er. Box three had 21 40%ers...

From the last box of pennies I searched, I got: 1921 KG V in ugly green stuff (mentioned in the last post) 1926 S penny (4,55 millions mintage) Can anyone guess the approximate grade. Blank penny planchet (looks legitimate, on the edge picture 1) 1971 Proof 2) Blank 3) 1971S 4) BU 1980 penny...
