I wouldn't necessarily say that a 1940-D is a "key date;" that distinction goes solely to the 1932-D and 1932-S. That said, early date branch mint...
Not worth it, imho. Would probably come back AU, so not even worth the trouble.
See below: http://ebay.us/j1HiuJ Good luck!
I actually do keep the pre-1982 memorial cents, though not because I expect to ever actually melt them down. There's something oddly reassuring...
I've used them before for a major purchase (over $2000) and didn't have any problems.

Japan made a trade dollar for a very brief period in the 1870s. Super pricey, though; the only way I managed to get one at a (semi) reasonable...
Good-4.
Beautiful collection! I've been trying to assemble a set of the LMU gold coins but the cost is a bit prohibitive, given how many countries were...

I'm a huge fan of the 10 and 20 pesos of the Mexican Republic. Tiny mintages overall, yet not nearly the price of American double eagles of...
I wouldn't do it. The example in the pic looks decent enough, but I've seen way too many fakes posted on Ebay from Chinese sellers to take a risk...
I had a similar experience, except that I switched from US to world coins. In many cases, I've found some amazing coins with tiny mintages by US...
I'm going to be honest: I do this, not expecting to actually cash in, but simply because I like the idea of having money with an intrinsic value...
Gorgeous seated liberty examples! Due to budgetary restraints, my highest grade example is an AG-3 1846-O; jealous in the extreme!
First off, keep in mind that compared to the combined total mintage for the St. Gaudens double eagle series, the eagle version's was rather small....
If you want an album with additional slots, try the Whitman two album set from a few decades back. Be warned: it's MUCH harder to fill than the...
My issue with Russian coinage is the pricing. For whatever reason, it seems that a lot of the imperial-era silver and gold coinage is priced at a...
