It's a great series. There's lots of history, a large silver coin, and the prices in F and VF grades are very reasonable. Also, there's a lot of...
I think ANACS does just as good as PCGS and NGC. But there's a marketing bias. The exact same coin would sell for the most money in a PCGS holder,...
I'm getting some of the 2012 Native American dollars, but it'll cost me $275 for 10 rolls of 25 coins. Too bad the direct ship is gone! Are they...
I think it's worth sending to NGC or PCGS for certification. That's the only way to get money for this coin in cameo anyway. At the very least,...
Yes, I'd search the Kennedy rolls. Obviously, search for 1964-1970 dates. But I've heard of people finding an occasional proof coin or even a...
I think it is. The "S" mintmark is a good start, and it does have a cameo quality to it with very reflective fields. I'll say it is.
I only heard the suspension apply to Presidential dollars. The Native American dollars are part of a completely different bill. But they still...
I like the Ike dollar. I think it's a very under-rated set. Ike did create NASA, so there is some connection to the moon landing. The pairing is a...
If it's slabbed and the toning is not considered artificial, you'll get good money for this coin. I personally think the toning is artificial, but...
One way to test this theory is see if the Mint used the bold face printing early and then changed it later on. The Accented Hair varieties was...
At the very end of the USA Today article, it states that it would be good to eliminate the Susan B. Anthony coin and the paper dollar. We're not...
hello GDJMSP I just want to say GREAT POSTS. I agree with you wholeheartedly on your views about NGC and PCGS. Bravo. I do need to defend...
I like both NGC and PCGS. I think they do a comparable job. For coins 1968 and later, I prefer PCGS. But for earlier coins, it depends on the...
I'll have to admit that I don't know for sure. But you also said that they are stamped 0.999. Is this found on the edge of the coin? If so, that's...
Thank you so much for your responses. They are very helpful. Seems like this transitional variety could be given something like a FS number in...
Greetings all. I collect Kennedy halves, and I hope there is an expert in this series who can answer this question. We have some very...
As noted above, the edge lettering is added to the coin without any respect to obverse or reverse of the coin. They all go through the machinery...
Franklins look UNC, and I'll call the Peace dollars at AU. Since you got these very close to melt value, you couldn't have got them any cheaper....
That's frightening and discouraging that the Post Office only wanted to reimburse the metal content of the coins? I guess for true collector...
I like 1913 Liberty nickel lore. I got a chance to see all 5 specimens at once at the ANA show in LA. That was great.
