Thanks for your suggestions! I appreciate your feedback. The Capital set is pretty basic, and it does not specifically require any of the Draped...
Well, I have completed my Lincoln cent collection (except for the 1909-S VDB, which I'm saving for a little bit at a time) and decided I needed a...
By the mention of "large coins," I'm betting you have some replicas.... If that's so, these would have no value in the numismatic market and a...
I like the Red Book for all the rich information everybody else has said. As for grading, I'm surprised at that MS 67 (at the very least) hasn't...
Much to the dismay of many! I wish they hadn't promoted the 1909-S VDB so much...
"Not that there's anything wrong with that..." :) Beautiful coins!
Hello, GDJ -- Thanks for the information about Green; I actually wasn't aware of his passing. Still, I did find the commentary interesting, as...
Hi, everyone -- I saw this on Numismaster today: http://numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=9813 How exciting if this is...
I've been hearing about this for years now. Japan, Canada, Australia, the U.S, and virtually every nation in Europe are all seeing...
Yes, One Coin, prices are down for many collector coins, but that's largely because of the economy. Bullion coins have done remarkably the past...
I'm turning 29 in a few weeks and have been active in the hobby since I was 11. When I started, I almost never saw any other young coin...
Pilkenton, Good point. Frankly, the value of many older worn bills from the mid-20th century on is so nominal, it probably isn't worth the effort...
Did you measure the "half" bill? I think if you have 51% or more you are allowed to still use it as legal tender....
I read somewhere quite a long time ago that some common-date Barber halves in XF grades actually rate on the Sheldon-Breen Rarity scale as R-3 and...
Yes -- $190,000 in MS-67 Red according to Bowers' "A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents," published in 2008. I'm sure the 26-S goes for more today :bigeyes:
Looks like it's been a LOOOOOOOOOONG 31 years for that Lincoln cent.
Well, I suppose if the 1909-S VDB "isn't rare," the 1922 plain, 1969-S doubled die, or 1990 no-S proof are "rare" (if we are talking about what...
That's the point I was making a minute ago -- the demand for a coin like the 1909-S VDB is incredible and will remain so. However, I admire your...
I think what Arizona Jack is saying is that, in terms of a coin being "rare," the 1909-S VDB cent is not a "rare" coin in the sense that only a...
Thank you so much for the heads up, Poppa. That's a scary thought....
