Me, too. Can't see spending $674 on a 7.6g gold piece. Maybe someday in the aftermarket.
Yeah, the BU commemorative dollars keep declining. I actually bought a Womens Suffrage, thinking it may (temporarily) take the top spot (it...
Nice! Merc's were the first set I completed, too. Started around 1969 and finished 20 years later, LOL. Congratulations, not an easy accomplishment.
Congrats, I always enjoy your posts. Looking forward to many more.
"Easy Button" was an ad campaign by Staples Office Supplies. The brief case strongly resembles a tube tester, maybe photoshopped a bit. (for those...
Just looked them up on the big auction site, they are a bit pricey.
I would separate by denomination, date, and MM. Then, starting with the silver, post a blurry picture of each one on the "what's it worth" forum...
It does look like a simple die chip but it's a really cool one! I'd keep it myself.
"Well, blow me down!" as Popeye used to say. I just got notified by the mint that the silver proof set is going on sale soon. It is returning to a...
Weak strike on a crummy but very hard planchet? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll guess it's one of the many Olympic coins. Low mintage, low interest at the time combined with too many designs.
When I completed my circulated Mercury Dime album (my first love) back in the late '80s, I moved on to a BU/Proof Dansco set of Roosevelts which...
A really nice set! I've been working on an XF-AU set since before time began and I'm still not done so I can appreciate yours. :)
I'm really becoming infatuated with 19th century proofs. I've got a pretty nice dime collection but none of the above. Congrats!
Very nice. The scratches, such as they are, don't really detract from the otherwise great eye appeal. Good job!
Mid to late 1960's. My mom and dad started saving wheat cents and silver coins, since they were both recently discontinued (lots of Americans were...
Well, you could always put another date (say, 94-s) in the album slot with a mental note that the real one is in the slab. ;)
I understand why you would but I hope you don't. You bring a unique insight to the community. When a thread goes off the rails, move on to the...
I don't think I've mentioned this yet so I will now - I'm amazed by your finds in NYC. My intuition says those really old coins should have been...
I'm not a Morgan dollar guy by any means but looks about right to me.
Separate names with a comma.
