The first one looks like the results of an abraided die, or, as stated, a filled die. The second looks like a Heavy Die Transfer. When a die...
I love this part, where I say; "It sounds like a dug coin that has been cleaned", then we are told that it isn't a dug coin, and then others...
Assuming you have the 9 coin clad proof set, I would estimate the value of the 1999 Mint and Proof sets to be $80-$100.
Or not. The market for 1909-S VDB cents might increase at a faster rate than silver bullion. I know this might sound odd, but would creating a...
That is correct. Possible, but not likely. Nickels often develope the same tarnish as bronze coins. You have to also consider that a 183...
LOL. Yes. I would think that might be a concern.
Great detail on that one, Jim. I can imagine that it must have been lost nearly 80-90 years ago.
Hi, Ryan. I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying that you don't know if $180 was too much? If so, you should never buy...
Wonder what caused the rim damage just below the date, on the coin with the missing chunk of clad layer?
I don't think there can be much doubt but that there are more people that collect Lincoln cents, than there are who collect Morgan dollars. I...
Hey, Speedy. I don't look at my coins with a microscope, so I don't know what varieties I have. I do, however, think that variety collecting...
"Values" are usualy determined by recently completed auction prices. It gets harder to determin values, when you start to narrow a coin's...
Interestingly, there are people who will guess at your answer.
Possibly stolen from a collection. I collectected for many years, only to have everything stolen by one of my wife's relatives. He used most...
The strike on Proof 1922 Peace Dollars should be strong and there should be no underlying marks. Friction on the high points or contact marks...
Very nice.
I suppose the Indian Head Quarter Eagle, and Half Eagle (1908-1929) give me the most trouble.
I would recommend that you assemble a date set. One coin from each year of issue. You could afford nice coins, and be proud of what you had...
I wouldn't describe it as "rare". There were 316,479,520 issued for circulation. Hard to grade from the pics, but it looks like a nice...
Right (as usual), Doug.
