Thank you for all your advice. I know it's really very difficult to say for certain what silver futures are like, or else we would probably all be...
I've been vacillating over starting an annual collection of regular, uncirculated American Silver Eagles for a while now and am just not sure if I...
That is a beautiful album and some great photos! I have vacillated on building this set, because I already have a completed Capital 20th century...
You could probably finish the album for somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,500 to $3,000 tops if you don't include a gold page and keep to Good...
LOL... "rubbed doubled die"... I'll have to remember that! :rolleyes:
We all remember P.T. Barnum's quote...
True, but to my knowledge I've never heard of a filled-die obscuring a VDB being worth anything more than curiosity. There aren't any "valuable"...
Not QUITE all! Lest we forget those made 1909 to 1917!
You're quite welcome. Just make sure you recall that Lincolns 1918 and later have the VDB, so your 1917s won't have any VDB!

In my opinion, I would A) hang onto that coin and B) buy any key dates/rare pieces that you want to acquire now. As bgcoins wrote above and as I...
Except for the 1981, 1996, and 2006-2010, everything was $4 to $10 each. The 1981 set me back around $15 back in 2004. The 1996 was around $15...
Thanks a million, Kanga!
But still, to have the 1937 through 1942 sets in ANY type of holder is an accomplishment to cherish! I imagine it must feel pretty great to have...
Wow, you got those on layaway? Amazing deal! Are they in original paper or are they in Capital holders?
Thanks, Dimefreak. I started off buying mint sets for the first few years I was in the hobby in the mid-1990s and simply diverted interests but...
Well, I completed my goal -- a true lifetime of mint sets. I couldn't help myself... I was born in 1981 but when I was at the coin dealer I saw a...
I've had the best luck searching rolls of half dollars. I also once find a wartime nickel in a roll of nickels. Otherwise, dimes and quarters...
I have never bought one myself, but I'll tell you this: I'll never buy a raw Trade dollar, not even sight-seen. The Chinese forgers are getting...
I've been flattening the back of the staples on my 2x2s since I was a kid. As mentioned earlier, it reduces the risk of scratching other coins...
