Pretty nice VF. It's a little rough but was well made and is only lightly worn.
The last two years have been good for proof set prices and very very good for mint sets.
[ATTACH] You don't see them in this kind of shape any longer. Indeed, they aren't really common in any condition at all any longer. Almost 75%...
I don't disagree but I believe that there are too many people setting these aside now days to have any value in the future. Inflation will erode...
I guess it's vaguely possible it's a counterfeit but better pictures are needed.
I had believed that was the question. '81-P quarters usually have a blob instead of a MM. They also are commonly seen with the peripheral...

As you learn about the minting process (a blank planchet hit by two dies) it will become apparent what's possible and what isn't. Sometimes...

I've seen only a few of these but most were in poundage back in the '80's and all were worn. I have to imagine they are a lot more worn today....
I don't see too many coins that are worth much but there are several that are quite scarce or rarely seen in that condition. As nice as these...

Most date proof sets are fine but many of 1968 to 1994 sets are often tarnished or have a haze on them. This is exceedingly difficult to remove...
Fed melting is mostly a very new phenomenon and I don't have confirmation yet. That it exists is the only way to explain the disappearance of...
Up until 1999 there were lots of outliers like this. Even though "every" 1969 quarter was worn down to F it was still possible to find an AU. But...
