It is apparently a mint set coin (probably 1975). It was either culled from a batch of mint sets due to the hazing (light) or far more likely it...
'64-D Lincolns were at one time the most common but over the years millions of them have wound up in circulation. Another very common date was the...
I used to have some '65, '66, and '67 P, D, and S but I couldn't prove where they came from so I just spent most of them. I don't even remember...
I might add that the services err toward calling high grade coins "SMS'. Some of these probably are actually GemBU but they don't want a bunch of...
I wager if you mixed 500 nice '65 quarters with 500 SMS's I could usually separate them with 100% accuracy. It gets way tougher if you mix Gem BU...
I was really referring mainly to base metal coins made for circulation. these are the ones that have been soaring in price. There are lots of...
Coins never were an investment and never will be. But there are lots of coins soaring in price though they never get mentioned because they are...
I think we reached that point about 1975 except for a few highly isolated instances. No silver can circulate because it is removed almost...
There are lots of silver coins left. The FED removed them from circulation in '68/'69 and the public got the stragglers.
Thanks for this. I had thought that most of the melting going on was illegal but it looks like it's mostly just illegal for businesses to...
In 1965 they had not yet perfected bonding cu/ ni to cu. Most of the strip was produced by applying huge pressure hydraulically and then...
There are several 1965 silver quarters and one 1964 clad quarter.
The inside of a 40% clad half is 10% silver and the outside 80% silver.
It's pretty complex and the '65 is far more complex than the '66 and '67. The mint used many different processes to make the '65 SMS and if that...
I'm a hoarder myself but I am also all the other definitions as well. I collected telephone tokens for five years before I even knew what they...
If you aren't systematically acquiring coins I don't think you're a collector. Just throwing states quarters in a jar does not make you a...
