Your wheat pennies would give my wheat pennies an inferiority complex! Nice coins.
PCGS has rough survival rates on pcgscoinfacts.com. If I recall correctly they are based on experts' opinions, but there can still be some inaccuracy.
I've never really understood that. The 1916-D and the 1921's should be complementary goods; if you're buying a 1916-D you're probably in the...
I'm thinking G or VG details (environmental damage/corrosion).
Another issue with the flexible plastic flips is that under certain conditions they can leave a PVC residue on coins. This PVC residue can then...
