Is it my eyes, or does it seem the blank planchet is too big to be a cent planchet? It seems too much space for the real cent to fit if centered....
So CT members are "not representative of anything"? I would think that most CT members are knowledgeable collectors, and I value their viewpoint...
Massive success? Do you mean for the lucky ones who found them in rolls and then sold them for 1000% profit? Based on past comments on CT,...
That's what is ironic. The U.S. Mint came out with the "S" biz strike quarter in 2012, two years after the first "P" & "D" issues. The Mint then...
Perhaps you enjoyed hunting, but some who found them charged ridiculous prices. Those who were collecting them to round out their ATB collections...
That is so ironic! The U.S. Mint played games with us collectors on this idiotic "w" quarter hunt for 2019 and 2020, then when it would actually...
#10 has seemed to be the most emphatic of all CT members' pet peeves. Fun Factoid: I had an argument on line with an e-Bay seller who insisted...
I agree with most others that the First Strike, Early Releases, etc. are just a market ploy by the TPG's to make more money. The fact that the...
I agree. The Franklin Mint puts out decent "stuff". The problem is they are virtually worthless, any value is in the eyes of the beholder...
It's too bad that both are not business strike or proof. This comparison just indicates whether or not you like the shininess of a proof or the...
Learned a vital lesson from years ago. Purchased beautiful blown glass from colonial Williamsburg, and decided to have it shipped. First thing...
No mint marks on Lincoln cents for 1965-1966-1967. Mintmarks (except for Philadelphia) were resumed in 1968.
It's tough to grade since there is major wear on some points and not much on others. Guess that's because this was a coin that was not minted for...
Got a cc privy Morgan in my cart at 9:00 a.m. PT, and after numerous "bad gateway" messages I received a notice in my cart that the coin was no...
So a reasonable guess for possible coin shortages - Basic "hoarding" principles. The "Law of Reason" never applies when a sizeable number of...
Since I now live in southern Nevada, I will try to purchase the Morgan with the cc privy mark. Not very optimistic though.
Since I collect coins based on genealogy, they mean more than just a regular collection. My daughter has expressed interest and is more than...
If this was a Mint error, wouldn't there be hundreds or thousands of them before the "error" was discovered? Deliberately altered PM? Seems too...
Anyone who holds a coin like that is no "coinhead" much less a serious collector. I cringe every time I see someone holding a coin in the palm of...
As I've stated quite a few times before, the Lincoln cent should be issued only in collector form - enhanced uncirculated and proof. Canada...
