They've been using them for a few years on prez bucks and some early large cents. would be nice if they would use them on other coins upon...
Well that one above didn't get regraded a 67+RD, but I still think it's a pretty high end example of an MS67RD VDB. That didn't keep me from...
I don't think i've ever seen a post-1982 woody Lincoln. I'm not sure it's possible since the composition changed to a zinc coin that is just...
In addition to the 1908-S IHC with struck thru metal posted above, Rick Snow had a 1908-S IHC that was double struck which was pretty neat, though...
That would be really cool, maybe package it along with a WWII 100th anniversary commemorative coin. That said, I hope I'm still alive to see it :)
Very cool!!! Any 1908-S IHC errors (or 1909?) in your collection??? I saw a few available in the past, just never pulled the trigger as I really...
They won't sell out tomorrow and they still won't be sold out 11 months from now. The Mint can't even sell out the more popular Liberty designs,...
Definitely pick them up and go through them!!!!!! "waste" of money??? come on... if you can get them for face value they will never be a waste...
Correct, each time a family member who owned the coin died and passed the coin to the next family member, under current law the basis should have...
You should be able to get a good premium for the VG examples. The AG-G coins not so much, but definitely don't sell to a dealer or refinery for...
That's pretty much why I asked my previous question, if there was a gouge cut on the die, the mark on your coin should be raised up on your coin....
I can't tell from the pics, but is the mark raised up above the surface of the coin, or is it incuse like the coin's design? I'm guessing it's...
I'm keeping mine in the safe deposit box. If something major happens as you suggest, I bet my canned food in the pantry will have more value than...
Thanks, the 1908-S IHC grading set was really fun to build and also taught me a great deal about grading Indian Cents. Todd of BluCC took great...
1909-S $5 Indian in PCGS MS63 This was the first coin (and only so far) that I paid over $10,000 to acquire. It's really pretty though :)...
It's all about condition. I've paid as little as $5 for some lower grade circulated examples (the Greysheet current values the coin around $10 in...
Correct, if you don't keep records on your cost basis the government will in most cases assume your cost basis is zero and you'll pay capital...
Unless the Buchanan coin sells out the 15,000 max, I don't see any reason they would raise the max mintage on the Mary Todd Lincoln coin. I see...
Almost every single AG-G Barber I've ever seen has little to no reeding because it too does wear away. Here's a pic of a group of them I had...
They should be relatively easy to find. I see them at local coin shows pretty often, still in the original government packaging as the 2-coin set...
