Things I've never had include: -half cent -seated Liberty coinage -trade dollar -anything gold -pre 1800 US coins There's probably other notable...
Is the Cherrios thing a special variety like the Cherrios Sacagaweas? I think I'd settle for a non-Cherrios MS67+ RD... PCGS's price guide has...
Cool die clash! I don't think I've seen die clashes that pronounced on such a new coin. Not sure on value though.
VF30? I hate trying to grade Lincolns between VF and AU. There's so little difference between grades compared to other series.
I'm interested to see if they'll make a 30th Anniversary ASE set like they did for the 20th and 25th anniversaries.
I'd keep 'em, but that's just me. The "S" mint marks hold a special place in my heart for some reason.
I think the funniest part about the whole situation is that they essentially assigned a numerical grade to a nail. I oughta go to Home Depot, buy...
I like the Air Tite holders for my more valuable coins because they guard against damage plus they look pretty neat with the black ring inserts.
I was 1 for 5... Yikes! Nice nickels by the way.

I can't easily rank these, so here are my top three in no particular order: 1) Wheat Cent 2) Capped Bust, especially the eagle on the reverse 3) I...
Cent- Wheat Cent Nickel- Jefferson Dime- Capped Bust Quarter- Capped Bust Half Dollar- Walking Liberty Dollar- Morgan by default
Man, that's unfortunate. You'd think that if it was cleaned that they'd be nice and still give it a numerical grade (even though they really...
MS65; very nice.
I'll go MS63 on account of the scratch on the bell. Nice coin regardless!
...this coin possibly began its life of commerce. Back in the summer of 1815, a bank in New Orleans sent an order to the mint for quarters....
I second the acetone suggestion that @SuperDave made. Acetone is very good at removing organic compounds (like PVC) but doesn't react with silver...
And you want to take care of it quickly because the PVC will react to form hydrochloric acid, which isn't friendly to coins. Here's an example of...
@SuperDave thanks for the heads up.
