Production costs for coins may have surged more than almost anything else. Of course the thinking that underlies the concept of the production of...
It's interesting that production costs of nickels was only considered to be about double the production cost of cents in those days. Now days...
The dust bunnies are to be expected. I'm surprised the silverfish didn't eat the box.
The Proof set I bought instead lists for over $2000 today but experience tells me the Gem '58 Krone is 20 times scarcer.
It's surprising how elusive many of the Norwegian 1K pieces are in Unc. I made the mistake of passing up a nice unlisted official looking 1958...
I have very few sources other than deduction, inference, and mintages. A lot of it is just doing simple proportions. It all should be considered...
I would estimate that about 10% of the F and better pre-1980 quarters are mint set coins. This is based on things like the quality of the coins...
This is mostly true. A lot of the problem with mint sets is that the mint always described their manufacture in terms that made sense to the mint...

I couldn't agree more. But I've believed this since about 1975. Now I'm a tired long and like whoever used to own the coins in the first post...
These dates represent the lowest wholesale prices of clad quarter rolls. Even nice choice coins like the '65 are hardly worth the postage of...
Very unlikely. Coins in this condition never circulated concurrently. Sure, in '76/7 it was possible to get a few samples like this but these...
Remarkable!!!
It took three employees just to take cash for this new computer. One to examine the bills, another to double check him, and a third to make...
It is disgusting. Even though cents are toxic and literally less than worthless people are getting even richer by having this garbage...
I never really noticed 720 was all that popular. Certainly it was in Mexico. Perhaps it's that if you take 900 silver and toss in 1/ 4th its...
Most of these got a lot of wear too.
The coin has been filed. The edge as well has been filed. These are not real uncommon. I'm not sure why people do this. It will be quite...
