Is this unusual?

[Purrdee]

A couple of questions...1) Should I be keeping the BiCentennial qtrs I have found? 2) was told to watch for coins that may be errors, so I found this qtr that seems to be stretched...kinda looks like a halo around dear ol' Washington....not sure if the pic will show it very well...but if you save it, then zoom in you will see what I mean....and thanks everyone who makes this such a terrific site....I stop in almost everyday.

Having atough time getting my pic to post.

 

[how u do n]

To get your picture the right size to post do this little trick.
Email the pic to yourself that will shrink it to email size and,then you can save it to your desktop folder.
I use HP Photosmart premier to do my pics it's free online
Hope it helps

Trying again...with photo

 

[Purrdee]

Well sorry everyone...but the halo I spoke of is barely visible in this pic but is very pronounced on the coin....but someone already answered...keep it.
Thanks anyway....I will work on the photo issues.

 

[mistergee]

in looking at your pic...the halo you speak of looks like wear from a slot machine...i have seen this before although not as pronounced as yours

The right answer to your question is No No No

Only keep it if it is in MS70 and you would slab it, or it's a proof or silver proof.

All other bicentennial coin should be put back into circulation as fast as you possibly can as they made 10 x more than the average yearly mintage.

Odd as many that were made you dont get many anymore..........thank god!!!

 

[Purrdee]

Is there a way to make changes on my digital camera when I take the pic that will allow the size to be put on websites such as this?

And...why do some coins seem to have a gold tone to them?

Thanks

 

[Purrdee]

Here is the side view of a nickel...what do you think?

 

[Purrdee]

Gold Tone coins? What causes this, does anyone know?
