I just purchased 92-98 silver proof sets for a total of $180 including shipping. It is the best price for this set that I've seen for awhile....
Yes, I would probably rate it a VF20. I paid $70 for a VG8. I would think that it is worth $90-$100.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
It is definately a nice find from circulation. You can get 91 proof sets for $10 or less. Thus, the 91S cent is probably worth less than a buck....
Thanks for the info on the 1996-S dime. I bought two 1996 mint sets in 2008 for $7.15 for both. I wasn't aware of the 96S dime and just...
If you have a good auction house in your neck of the woods, you may want to explore that route. I've bought many a coin at auctions that were...
Elaine must know. She is the mint.

It all depends on the dollar. I'm going against the grain and predicting that it will increase in value over the euro. Thus, silver and gold...
Can we convert to metrics in the US before discussing the switch to a 100 point grading system? I'm still amazed that we can't convert to metrics...
You might be right about the cents but they are far outweighed by the other ones (check out coinflation.com). I'm also a little curious about the...
I purchased a 1854 California gold token (bear on back) for $90 at an auction in 2008. Big mistake, it was fake. I'm not a gold collector and...
Since coins (except the nickel) have metal values far below the currency value, it helps the mint when coins are lost or collected. It is like a...
Of course us collectors want the mint mark and date. It is important for countries to control their money supply, which includes tight control of...
I haven't seen anything on this either but if it is true, I'm sure that Elaine would know.
