I really like the Acadia puck but I'm originally from Maine and still spend many summer vacations in the Bar Harbor region. It is intersting to...
As mentioned by Condor, I use the redbook for all the other information other than the value. I find it quite handy but I like Krause better....
It may have already been mentioned somewhere else but they should try to put an actual number on the striked set. It could be like "7 of 100,000"...
Since this is a serious thread, I thought I would add some serious wisdom. You should only buy coins with perfect packaging and a laminated...
This is a tough one. The O looks funny to me. Thus, I'm going to fold.
Nice coin. The reverse is real nice with a couple of dings on the obverse. I'll go MS-63.
They fake slabs too.
Not to be disagreeable, but I wouldn't use the red book for valuing coins. I would use ebay completed auctions.
It looks real to me but I like to see it "in hand". I've been meaning to buy one for a long time but haven't been able to pull the trigger.
It is only a matter of time when someone creates an "app" for your cell phone that allows you to photo the obverse and reverse of the coin and...
I recently paid about $20 for the entire 1980's S minted cents. Thus, they are probably worth about $2/each assuming mint state.

I think that cointalk hit the nail on the head with reason that our government moved to 40% silver on the Kennedy half until the end of the 60's....
I think that you did well. Hopefully, you'll get a few more 40% silver coins in the roll.
I wrap all my sets in zip lock bags and then place them into proof set boxes. I get them from the coin wizzard for a pretty good price.
For the same reason that the first reprint is worth more than the last one. It doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to make cents.
Well said for a guy that likes quarters. After all, the pucks are just big daddy quarters of straight silver.
Straight from Wikipedia: The Coinage Act of 1965, Pub.L. 89–81, 79 Stat. 254, enacted July 23, 1965, eliminated silver from the circulating dimes...
I purchased one on day one. I'm now looking at the Perry Puck. I figured that they may sell 25k of these pucks considering the increase in value...
