It's funny that people don't collect these because they assume they are too common to bother. Few collectors want anything common so there is no...
There is no wholesale market for most of these coins because there is simply no demand. If current trends continue the '69 quarter will be...
I see some strange things in this set as well but experience tells me they are all photographic effects. I've never seen a fake or doctored mint...
It's completely normal. I'm guessing the Denver package is a little brighter but has the same issues. You can no longer find these coins in...
By the way all of these except the penny and farthing look salvageable!
This is an exceedingly common set but some of the coins in it are pretty hard to find except in the set. Most of the surviving sets are in...
I live in NW Indiana and have collected coins since I was small (1957). I've always been fascinated by coins that circulate or have circulated...
It could be interesting except pennies don't really circulate. They just travel back and forth in commerce so the location you are in the country...
The lighting makes them look a little scary but those are all in pretty good shape for their age. The '83-P is worth a couple bucks and I'm...
This is a coin that has been on my list for a long time. But, unfortunately it's one I haven't been able to find in quantity or otherwise. Of...

Swiss mint sets are exceeding high quality and can be mistaken for proof. But then the coins made for circulation are exceedingly high quality as...
That is a circ isn't it? Yes, nice coin. It looks like a Gem that has had a tough life starting even with the strike. I'd hang onto it since...
Now days I don't think they are nearly lenient enough to grade that a 67 in for '82's.
You can get more than 50 1965 quarters in a roll if you pull them from circulation today. Banks have a mild heart attack if you take back...
A boat floats on water despite being so heavy. A few coins will float on water as well because they are usually concave on one side or the other...
Most proofs of most dates are FS. A date like 1982 would be pretty tough to find without FS and the problem will be a mark rather than a bad...
That '65 is something!! They won't grade them as Full Step but even the SMS nickels are very tough in FS and someday there will be a demand for them.
There's only one possible solution; identify each of the problems and take steps that will address that problem. Unfortunately most of the...
