Indeed, many younger people are sensitive and we were all impressionable. Discouragement of all sorts are common in the hobby and not new but...
As a rule I would strongly advise against collecting any coin as an investment and that applies here as well. There are pitfalls that are...
I think I used to have or might still an '18/'17-D. It wasn't a great example because it falls just below being positively identifiable.
Sure, sounds like a fun a set and cheap. I think you might find some of these coins exceedingly difficult to find restored. Not because of low...
I did have a really nice VF '13-D type II in that first set but it looked out of place to me.
Very nice. There's a lot of meat on those bones. I put together a set mostly from circulation and much later another set from stock but both had...
You may well be right but it could have happened at almost any point as long as 40 years ago. It could have happened then and it could happen...
Remarkable! I believe the rest of that will come off in olive oil.
Eventually people will figure out that nice attractive looking moderns are really tough and they've been misled by three generations of dealers...
No, it doesn't really make sense but you can buy modern sets (especially '86 proof sets) and disassemble them at significant profit. Buyers know...
This is largely chance, no doubt, but despite high mintages the coins are elusive even in high end Fine condition because they weren't set aside...
I can't tell what condition these are in. What I have trouble finding are the 20's dates of all the silvers. The 6P'sare only slightly easier...
Many people would be surprised to find out how tough the early years of the .500 silver are in really nice condition. This same applies to some of...
AI both raises and lowers your IQ by 50 basis points. Neat thing about it though is you can run almost any post through it to translate it!
I vaguely remember when they started making these. I believe I have several different versions of it, but probably none have much value....

I wouldn't take this topo seriously but I've long believed barter economies were probably supported with some other medium of exchange for larger...
Never try to match wits with Copilot. "Oh, I got it—and I savored it. That was a mint-condition pun, struck with precision and just the right...
I'm confident it is environmental damage. There was quite a bit of problem the first few years with clad layers separating. Initially they...
Just to be clear here don't cut up all your sets and dump the tarnished ones into circulation. I really wasn't trying to mislead anyone. Rather...
