Are you doing type examples, or one from each mint and year? Some of the series dragged on and on...
Welcome to the forums, btw. If you have a scanner, you might want to scan the quarter. Even in badly worn condition, there are some telltale...
This is one of the reasons I started a thread about the US Assay Commission. Would you be more comfortable with the proposal if the mint new that...
I would be much more comfortable with his 'creations' if he edge stamped them or put some other identification device. At some point down the...
I'll go in with $281... good luck everyone (at getting the 2nd closest guess)!
The Assay Commission was abolished in 1980; a time when the US was no longer minting circulating silver and hadn't started to mint bullion (aside...
What I'd like to see is one of the 1951 2-wave varieties. Anyone here happen to have one?
Sounds like she may have been using an older coin book as her pricing basis. Silver has thrown a lot of those values wildly out of whack. As for...
Dealers often have asymmetrical knowledge about the coins that they are selling. After all, they have time to pull out reference books, go online,...
I picked up a 1951 the other day. I was pleasantly surprised to find it in a dealer's melt bin, and happy to save it from a hot fate. I am...
I picked up an 1851-O in a pile of foreign coins. The date was pretty well worn away, but the mint mark made attribution easy. I don't toot my...
I'm not the biggest fan of the Presidential dollars, but I wanted to see get an inexpensive multi-coin slab just to check it out. This caught my...

As I posted in another thread - would a tissue test work to tell them apart?
Slabs do make storage easier. If you're keeping this in a safe deposit box, I've found that slabs fit quite nicely and offer superior protection...
Huh. I saw one of those (in similar grade) at a PM dealer today. I didn't pick it up b/c my ol' Krause catalog had the 1917 listed as a fairly...
I shouldn't neglect the other coins I purchased today: including a 1908 Canadian 5 Cents, a 1937 New Zealand Florin, a 1913 Canadian 10 Cents, an...
jjack> I also picked up something from Latvia - a 1996 10 Latu, 16th century variety (in presentation case). The book isn't mentioned at all in my...
Wouldn't our tax revenue be better spent on providing helpful services for the elderly and poor? While the British custom is charming (and rooted...
62 grams of 'pure silver' puts it just under 2oz? I'm assuming 0.999 here? But I guess it could be sterling. Figure it at 90% and you'll probably...
