Yep, the 1797 penny and 2 penny are honkers for sure. That was when they minted coins where the value in the actual weight of the coin was equal...
I am not a fan of RCM NCLT items, especially directly from the mint. Except for a scant few, you pick can them up at coin shows 3-4 years down...
I think that schnauzer's post above with the cost rundown says it all. Unless you have a coin whose REAL VALUE is more than $100, it is not even...
I think that the average price might be higher in Group B, because they actually know what they are looking at, and the relative scarcity (in that...
Well, from grading seminars held by the same top-level folks who do the actual grading (I'm talking the top 2-3 TPG's on each side of the border)...
cpm9ball ... My comments on proof coins dealt specifically (as I put in the sentence) proof "bullion" coins. If you are finding proof bullion...
It is uncommon to see die cracks that travel through the design elements of a coin .. not unheard of, but uncommon. The design elements are...
I live in Canada, go to lots of coins shows, and participate in many coin site discussion forums. This topic has been covered ad infinitum for...
Some more on the "model series"
There are still many with the gold coin intact, but maybe not in the US. When gold peaked (or seemed to peak) a few years ago, many sold the gold...
As "coleguy" stated, you do not, and should not, have to send in coins to be certified to sell. Most post-WWII coins, silver or not, will cost...
For me, and pre-WWII Canadian coins, a variety is a coin struck with proper dies, good planchets, on good machinery (in proper working order) and...
There is also CCCS in Montreal .. both have ads in each Canadian Coin News. CCCS has great hard slabs, as well as the flips, and they are very...
Coingeezer ... I wasn't talking about MS Vicky coins, as the original post just said he was looking for a cert'd set .. no mention of grade. Most...
Your largest obstacle is the fact that nearly half on the coins that you want in the set are so common and inexpensive, even in MS (less than $20...
As others have stated, I'm not sure that that you will find any large cent collectors that would trade for a silver maple leaf set. I have...
I can read "NIPA" to the upper left of the hat. It looks like some type of commemorative token with a colonial gent. Penn had a few of something...
I'm not a big fan of any TPG and, due to inconsistencies in the last couple years, ICCS would be on the bottom of my list. They have certified...
Does not appear to be cob ... it looks like it's bronze, not copper and it's not marked like a cob. It could be roman or medieval.
It looks real to me and pretty spectacular.
Separate names with a comma.
