I wonder how many they sold. John http://www.marketwatch.com/news/sto...382F5-DF5A-469A-AE27-0A5EADEACC7F}&dist=msr_2
At least he learned the facts before twisting them around. Most of the authors who write this stuff simply have no clue of what the facts are. I especially like the part of what a "Good" '50-D nickel is worth today.
I see those type of ads in the Sunday papers all the time. I like the newer ones featuring the "golden dollars!". According to the ads, they're rare and valuable. I wonder how many people they sucker each week? Guy~
Depends on what is meant by "Good" I suppose. You can easily get an uncirculated version of it for around $20 or so. (I suppose $3.50 is about right for a coin that literally grades G-4 lol... but these are so common in uncirculated you may as well splurge and get the best you can find.) It is the rarest Jefferson nickel, but that still doesn't make it especially rare... about 2 million were minted, and since in 1950 just about everyone knew it would be a relatively rare issue, many were saved and it's easy to find in uncirculated condition.
That's one of the better articles I've read in a long time about coins in the mainstream press. Thanks for sharing. In fact, the comments about the 1950-D just add realism - actually almost a shiver down one's spine.
