This is a great set and a great album to do it with. People love the 7070, and with good reason, but Dansco just isn't keeping their stuff in...
This is a good list, except that I disagree with the entire premise that there are 10 “must have” coins for every collector. Go and float this...
I certainly hope it is unique toning.
Nope, just worn flat. Maybe worth 5 cents if you can get someone to take it as a nickel.
I'm only going by what I've been shown. Put the coin in my hand if you want my opinion of the coin and not the images.
I like yours better. I'd say yours is 66+ or maybe a 67. Also, to everyone else looking at this coin: this is the first year of issue. The...
That sounds like a fun project, even for those who don't primarily collect gold. I'm missing quite a few centuries, myself. :)
I have a number of world proof sets from my birth year at home. While I'd like to keep my age private, I will say that my Soviet set is pretty...
Are you kidding? I don't believe it's natural, but, if those colors were legit, that is absolutely a monster coin. Here it is, for reference:...
Hard to tell what it grades due to the lighting, but I’d spitball it at 63. That would put it at about $350 or so raw.
You weren’t kidding, @Cazkaboom : I see everything from nice toners to original circulated to cleaned and damaged coins in your initial posts. :)...
You’ve gotten good advice on strike variation already, so I’ll just add my opinion of the 2 coins you posted. Though the reverse of the second...
Really? Someone’s gonna be in for a $3000 disappointment, then. I voted AT in spite of the old holder due to lack of elevation chromatics. I also...
66, but that’s purely a guess based on strike and surface quality. I’d need a better read on the luster to be sure.
My guess is probably not. Every issue is online for ANA members already, and that’s where I’d expect the primary interest and market to be. Your...
Regarding Breen, is his book considered a reliable source? I used to own a copy of his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S and Colonial Coins. I sold it...
Great coins everybody! I don’t have a Julian II to share, but I checked Vcoins and found his AR and AE coinage to be really affordable. I...
I don’t understand why people buy directly from the Mint anymore. Maybe once in a while, there’s a limited issue that’s worth snagging early, but...
For a second there, I thought @cpm9ball started down the path of the dark side and was showing off an ancient coin, lol. :) Happy birthday, @Al...
Great pickup! I also really appreciate having the original case, as @physics-fan3.14 said. I have looked at Maundy sets Victoria that come with...
