Many of mine are sentiemental. Sometimes I'm amazed what I can remember about some of them that I may have received as a kid. My earliest...
I've only owned one of the pedigrees and it was a Battle Creek that was a completely plum purple reverse with faint neon green highlights. I...
Oh, I'm discussing the business strikes people are chasing and you're talking about proofs. Regardless, 100k seems to be about the cut off for...
As someone who has been working on the US Type Including moderns registry set for 16 years, which is now up to 136 slots to chase (73% complete),...
Lighthouse makes nice albums with pages like this that hold 9 slabs per page. The large sized one can hold four pages like pictured above, so you...
I remember this thread. Was wondering what the charts look like now.
Heard they made an additional 21 million nickels in November so the mintage ticked up. The Philladelphia mint nickels are up to 58.3 million...
They're much lower mintages than the normal so people equate that to being "rare". Assuming 100 years from now people are collecting Jefferson...

My initial reaction as is common with these decisions is just another hearty, "meh". There's been better subjects. There's been worse. I...
Yeah, go ahead. I've opened up quite a few of these for the sake of grading. Just do it low over a padded surface. Use a thumb nail and work...
Of course they would tarnish. Who knows what was used in the paper of those things. There was no R&D into keeping coins untoned at that time...
Yeah call me paranoid but I wouldn't trust that unless my own mother had it on a Sigma tester in front of me. From a distance the shiniest one in...
