Thanks for all the replies! It's just that I also can't imagine those who buy coins solely for their silver content and don't care about the...
I know there is a rather complicated formula (any math is complicated for me!) to determine the difference melt value of any coin. But how does...
What??!! I beg to differ! (And I beg a lot!) o_O
Yes, and it's all a part of game theory that economists use to determine who gets the better deal. Plus, what is considered money has come in...
All this makes me happy I don't get my coins online. I know, some of you don't have a choice. I'm fortunate to have coin auctions, shows, a shop...
There is an auctioneer in Liberty, Missouri, that holds large auctions of coins every few months. In fact, he has one coming up in a couple of...
Yes, I'd recommend it. Just know that it has no information on grades below MS60. For that, I guess you'll have to refer to the Red Book that...
I would hope these are all MS60 or above, since I've been told in another thread that if they aren't, they aren't worth anything above melt.
Even if they're FBL? And really, raw Kennedy halves are of no value?
I don't see auction houses as being "cost efficient.". They may buy your coins at a lower price because then they can sell them and tack on a...
I understand the official Red Book of US coins go down to the lower grades, but I'm talking about the one that is only about the Franklin and...
Okay, I bought the book because, like a lot of collectors, I have some Kennedy halves and I'm also interested in the Franklin's. But I don't...
Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to pin down.
No, that's not what I'm asking. I don't care about collecting them or their value. I'm wanting to know, since it's done at the mint, why isn't...
So it happens during the minting process, and yet it still isn't called a mint error? How does that work?
Just curious, why is MD considered worthless while other doubling isn't? Aren't they both mint errors? Maybe I don't understand what a mint...
Actually, when we talk about an acetone soak, we mean pure acetone, not nail polish acetone.
You are so lucky! First, because you can actually see the word WE in the motto, which is usually worn down to being unreadable. And second, for...
I know what you mean. I still don't see it, even with the overlay.
But of course!
