Thanks for clarifying that. I was just making a least amount of thought statement there.
I'd have to agree from the consumer's standpoint. If anyone knows of a shop that sells at grey sheet prices, let me know! I'll travel for that.
Honestly, if you don't roll search, I'd be surprised if you find more than one silver coin in circulation per year. I know I haven't for probably...
This just raised a question in my mind. Have you ever been outbid on ebay, and completely amazed at what the guy paid? And then I can't help but...
This may sound like a bit of work, but you could purchase rolls of silver dimes, quarters, or halves from a dealer, and cherry pick the best ones....
I can agree with this. Anyone who has ever dug up coins on a metal detector trip knows they usually need something. A tumbler may be a bit extreme...
I'd check the web, but you're almost always going to pay somewhat of a premium, even on Franklin halves. You can still find "64 Kennedy halves in...
Yeah, I thought of it, and did compare it to my '21 in almost identical shape. I therefore do not suspect authenticity issues by looking at the...
I in no way insinuated that, but in your defense I should have finished the story. I simply meant the option of either numismatic versus bullion...
Mint mark or not, nothing from the forties is rare in just about any series. But, on a positive note, you picked a beautiful and fun to collect...

Wow, this thread had really derailed. Buck to what rguinn originally seeked advice on (if he's even reading this anymore). If you plan to invest...
I think anyone would agree that paying the least mark-up would be the best for investment purposes. I'd also like to add that you should also...
Very nice!
This is probably the easiest way to familiarize yourself with the particular grade and coin series. Like Kasia stated, it would also benefit you...
I'd buy it just to have something to laugh at. I see this seller is from Malaysia. Kind of late to get in on the action. Ebay's gonna "crack down"...
Fer real? I didn't see a $ sign, but I can only assume. Knowing what people posted here, I might have issues sleeping at night doing that to...
All price guides have their discrepancies, mainly due to PM value fluctuation and the time lapse between editing and reading. I personally see...
I do not see an issue with the coin other than the surfaces look excessively cleaned.
Some of the responses seem to be a bit on the high side. I can't see spending more than $2.50 per roll honestly. Even when Lincoln cents were hot...
