If you want a little history on the Philadelphia Mint, here's a page with some basic information:...
Coins minted in Philadelphia traditionally had no mintmark. It was the first mint, and since it was the only mint at the time, no mintmark was...
I didn't like the toning on the "before" coin, but similarly, I don't like the "after" result either. If you were bent on cleaning it, a really...
We love to see pictures. Given the large number of cents produced that year, it wouldn't surprise me if there were clashed dies. Your coin...
Anokanite, That's a very insightful question, and not one that would be commonly asked. I'm glad to see you put mental effort into the question....
Looks like a nice VG. Has the original look that so many coin collectors seek. Please don't attempt to "improve" it by cleaning. As so many others...
I have not. I can tell you that, 99+% of the time you'll be disappointed. It depends who you buy from, and what price you pay. If you pay a...
Welcome to CoinTalk! It's quite a broad field. My original suggestion would have been to get a copy of the "Red Book" (As FreezerBurn...
Doesn't look too bad. Maybe a bit high on the prices, but not terribly so. I agree with green's advice: Spend a little bit on books about coins,...

If you're collecting them, it makes no difference. If you want to re-sell them, then leave them sealed. Littleton has notoriously high prices, but...
I was just coming here to suggest that site. Cameron Kiefer did a marvelous job with it. I sent him pictures of a slab he didn't have in his...
Personally wouldn't eBay them. After fees and stuff, you'll be missing a lot of the value. But, whatever works.
I agree with your views. While 6 steps is nice, if the rest of the coin looks terrible, then who cares? There are some people who care only about...
Congratulations. Silver melt for that lot is much higher than $13.
Thanks for posting. I rarely go to the books to authenticate a 1916-D dime, but I've bought a few of them without issue. I agree that...
