Unfortunately, that will probably be true. The mint charges way too much for the copper-nickel commemorative half dollars at over $50 each.
The 1950 Proof half dollars are hard to find in nice condition. Many of them were not well made from the beginning. The mint personnel had made...
Given the price of gold, you might be quite surprised at what the gold pieces are worth. The two five dollar gold pieces in the U.S. capital set...
Here is a photo I took of Burnside's Bridge, which is shown on the reverse of the Antietam commemorative half dollar. I stood on the spot with the...
I bought this MS-65 many years ago, right after the market collasped cira 1990. It's in an old "fatty" NGC holder. [ATTACH]
I think that this is a genuine example. There are fakes. The prices on these have gone up and down like a yo-yo over the years. When I was paying...
How are those small premiums attractive? If the $3,000 gold bubble pops, those pieces lose value so fast it will make your head spin.
This California fractional gold quarter. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some collectors didn't like this 1874 With Arrows half dollar when I bought it because it has been dipped. It didn't bother me at all. [ATTACH]...
Just because the third party grader didn't mark the problem on the holder doesn't mean that some buyers, such as I, are going to ignore it. It...
It has EF-AU sharpness, but it has been cleaned, and surfaces appear to be pitted. Enjoy it as it is. Spending grading service money on it does...
I have been a very dedicated type coin collector. I have all of the type coins listed in the NGC registry, but I have to say that I was getting...
I would have to do more research, but this is a 1902 "short" Edward III Matte Proof coronation set. The Matte Proofs kind of blend in with the...
Here's the one it took me 50 years to get. The 1796-7 Draped Bust, Small Eagle half dollar is the "holy grail" of type coins. I wish it were a VF,...
My experience has been that the very modern (1960 and later) coins graded MS-65 are disappointing. I knew a dealer who was selling MS-65 graded...
The third party graders don’t think that Proof coins of this era qualify for PR-68. Those that float on water grade PR-67.
I can't play until 1679.
If I get a 2025-S in my 2025 silver Proof set, I'll be happy. If not, I guess I'll have to buy a clad Proof set, which won't make me happy,...
Duplicate post.
You can call something "rare," but if no one wants it, most collectors are not going to care. I have a couple little silver tokens that a fellow...
