I've been dealing with Jake's Marketplace http://www.jakesmp.com since 1994 and The Coin Shop (in Indiana) http://www.coin-shop.com since 2005....
I just bought a 1964 proof set from Jake's Marketplace for $15.50 -- not a bad deal at all given prices elsewhere....
I was on eBay a few minutes ago and happened upon this auction: two authentic 1982 souvenir sets, P and D. These are the sets I was talking about,...
Good luck! Sounds like fun. I've considered collecting mint sets myself, from my date of birth (1981) and up. Generally, yes, mint sets are...
The coin doesn't look right because of (A) the rim and (B) the coin's details look far too sharp for a coin whose color clearly belongs to a coin...
Thanks, Panda. That was my goal was a problem-free piece. So hard to find those. I do now need to bridge the grade gap in my set. I have a Good...
Thanks for the replies! I truly appreciate your comments. Yes, Definitely I am satisfied with the piece itself. More of an academic/hindsight...
Well, I finally bought the last piece of my Lincoln cent puzzle -- a 1922 plain cent, Die #2. It cost me $690 and is NGC-graded in Good 4. It...
Hi, all -- I've been curious if anybody has some educated guess as to what the population of the 1922 Plain cent (with strong reverse) may be....
Notgelds are cool!
That depends on your interest area. $2,000 will buy most people a circulated set of all the Lincoln cents from 1909 through 2010. I would probably...
Imagine what such a book would look like... 1914-D Lincoln cent: 492,514 (who saved them before 1934?) 1962-D Roosevelt Dime: 11,210,012 (so many...
I think SEGS does, too. I also once saw a coin labeled "wiped" in what I recall being a SEGS, but that was 10-12 years ago.
Amazing, swish! Great work on 2 1950-Ds. If I find one I'll consider myself a lucky person! Good luck on completing the rest of your set.
Well, after completing my Lincoln cent collection (which was by far a larger expense than my ch. XF + 20th century set), I think I'm going back to...
Yes, the parenthetical mintages are proof, and are included in the total mintage. However, I WISH there was a way to get a number on coins left in...
Yes -- it was a 1941 Lincoln cent. The funny thing is that "old dates" on Lincoln cents had caught my eye since I was a kid, but for some reason...
Definitely, Abe. It looks like finding a decent Seated dollar without any problems is going to be my biggest expense and challenge, so I'm...
Financeman, Thank you for the supportive compliment. You'll be in the same spot someday. Just take the series one piece at a time, set aside a...
Thank you so much for your insight!
