My only plan: buy low, don't buy high.
I was at a local store tonight and in the "cent exchange" box I saw a glimmering 2016-D cent! That's only the second one I have seen in the wild!...
I'm actually stuck in the middle, in what some people call the "flyover region," so I see occasional Ps, but I'm usually flooded with Ds.
I've read other Bowers books and find them completely exhaustive (and a little exhausting given all of the information to ingest) and fun to read....
Wow! Having only seen a single 2016-D cent, and no P cents, in change for all of last year, I hope I at least see a 2017-P somewhere, sometime.
I understand the viewpoint and the horror at learning about Belgium's 19th century African transgressions, but I also don't blame coins for a...
The JNDA book, issued annually by the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association, has a section on "Occupied Territories Coins," but is only...
Nice! I haven't seen a wheat penny in my pocket change for countless years. Finding one used to make my day. Sadly, my days haven't been made for...

Gold and silver becoming worthless would probably follow some form of horrible collapse of civilization. It's extreme, yes, but in that case...
If gold and silver ever become worthless we'll have a lot bigger problems on our hands than worrying about what to do with shiny metal.
They are still cool coins and worth having, but yes, as others have said they are not worth the price of grading.
Ugh. It's stories like this that keep me from buying anything over $20 on Ebay. I hope it all turns out well.
Even if an individual, you would think they would at least extend you the courtesy of replying in standard English.
Yes, you're correct. In this case buying from the mint right away would have saved more even some 16 years later. The price may continue to fall...
That's very interesting. Quite a while ago I purchased a PCGS certified (I think in PF69 CAM) 1999-S Connecticut state silver quarter for $20. I...
