I traded away a beautiful trade dollar back when the price of silver sky-rocketed in 1979-80.
My coin collection contains 372 coins. Only one of them is uncirculated. I call it "MS-60." In those days half dollars were actually used, and the...
I'm not sure I could even make an educated guess. I doubt if it was more than that. In the late 70s I bought a 1909-S Indian head cent for $150 at...

If you are collecting for profit, I can't advise you. If you are collecting for you own satisfaction, then collect the way you want to.
Is there a website where I can see what an S-4 is?
Yes, it IS hard. I bought a loupe just to examine this coin. I've never used one before. You have to get just the right angle to see the second...
I just bought this one.
