Re: New and need advise
Lar .... It's really not "work". It is just to give you a little familiarity with coins and the grading & selling process. As Jim says above, it gets fairly pricey to have someone come and price or evaluate your coins. You need to have a general idea of what is saleable and what is not and that's wh...

Re: New and need advise
I would suggest that you go to a book store and get a copy of either Charlton's or Haxby's guide to Canadian coins. If you can find one on Ebay or a used book store, they do not need to be most recent copies. Either will give you a thumbnail guide to grading and the scarcity of some coins. Here is a...

Re: 1882 Newfoundland 50 cent coin. Incomplete letter on last D in Newfoundland. Also a crack in the E and I in Regina
The E & I are post mint. You can see the start of the scratch/ gash before the R in Regina.. The incomplete D is either a partially filled die or part of the D broke off the hub so every coin struck with that die would look the same.

Re: 1891 Canada Large Cent
It is an 1891 Obv 3 (by the crossbar on the E's) small date, small leaves SD/SL. It has been heavily cleaned and I'd give it a maybe VF-20, but the cleaning will take it down surely to F-15.

Re: 1888 Penny - cracked die or odd punch
I agree ... post-mint damage. Something struck the coin.

Re: 1893 die issue on the 9
Looking from above, that whole area of the Reverse has a huge dent where something struck it. It's post mint damage

Re: uncut uncirculated 2 dollar bills
With any kind of price guide, whether it is coin, bills, tokens, etc, that is not what you can actually SELL the item for. As with most guides, you would be lucky to get 50% of what the book says from any dealer and most probably less than 70% to a private party. You need to find Ebay or auction act...

Re: Straight clipped planchet?
I think it's post-mint that something sliced it. I see no indication of anything disfiguring any part of the T & H in Elizabeth or the S in dollars. I think that there would be a bulge there with nothing holding back the metal from flowing.

Re: The 1964 dot Penny.
Well, someone is going to come to the harsh realization that he paid $275 too much for a coin and someone else's opinion.

Covid & border security
If you live in Canada and contemplate going into US, forget it! I got my 2nd call from the VA in Buffalo to schedule my Covid vaccine injections (the 1st notice was 3 weeks ago). I was all set to go down to Buffalo (50 miles) on Mar 1 and get the 2nd one Mar 22 and scheduled them. Even in past borde...

Re: Got a 2017 mint set. Unopened. Wondering what kind of error is on the sail?
I don't use TPG's. I'm only passing along what I have heard. It will cost you at least $25-50 more than just a straight graded coin for the error to be mentioned, depending on which TPG that you use, plus tax, postage and insurance. I'm sure it will cost well more than the coin will ever be worth.

It's going to cost you a pretty penny to get that graded, especially if you want the error mentioned/referenced.
