I really could use some good advice to help a very nice senior citizen. My wife and I have a friend who has some Morgans, Peace Dollars and...
Nice post Bruce and thank you Condor for the info on slabbing versus certification. For the new collector it is often hard to sort out how the...
Beautiful coin lets give it a MS65, but somehow I really feel it will grade higher maybe even 67.
When you figure that laborers depending on skill didn't make much more then $0.60-$2.00 "a week" a nickel or 5 cent piece was a lot of money....
My beautiful thrifty wife who collects change, or should I say saves money/change, would put up a Mercury dime, silver Kennedy or Buffalo nickel...
Make sure that your 1903-S is not a micro-S, because if it is it will be worth about triple. Better yet post a pic an let the pro's here have a...
I'm not big on slabbed coins but this one, because of the price, would be a good one to get slabbed in order to get top dollar if your planning on...

My favorite are early proof sets. I hope to have 1964-1950 together before 2010. I have all but 1950-1953 as of today. My real dream is to have...
Your 1953 cent is in a copper band of sorts. You could remove the banding, but if it has been spining it will have caused some damage to the edge...

I have to agree with this 100%. This is a all around great magnifier. I find it better for garding then my 10X loop.
Lets break this down. 21 ASE's ungraded but for all purposes 69's should run about $300.00 most coin shops. Then you have them graded---21X$15.00...
If you want to invest in the "silver market" ASE's are one way to go. They are coins minted by the FED. but they can be bought at almost spot...
The truely bad thing is yes people believe what the media says/sells. I'm sure there are enough people out there that don't know the facts about...
This coin looks like the scam of the week. The seller even states that it is almost impossible to verify. The mint does NOT plate coins. The mint...
Get a copy of the Red Book and it will tell what "cents" are rare/errors/worth keeping in circulated condition. The 1974-S is the last year...
I have opened numerous proof sets and they come apart quite easily. I use the blade of my pocket knife to ease the edges apart. You have to be...
