These markets are highly complex. Any date Ike is worth $3 wholesale now. Most people think they are worth $1 but even nice circs with no...
Actually the coins in these sets are going bad and getting worse by the day. There probably won't be any undamaged coins in sets before too many...
There are lots of coins in there that have almost no value right now and are unlikely to get more valuable but to understand these markets will...
You have to be careful with Austrian 19th century silver. A lot of it is quite common in BU. I don't know anything specific about the Florin,...
Just to be clear "toning" is the development of color as exhibited on the more expensive coin. I would personally prefer the less expensive coin...
I avoid saying I don't like any coin but the toned example in this specific case doesn't appeal to me in this photo. I would buy the the untoned...
Silver coins from all over the world were invariably saved in substantial numbers but when the world switched to cu/ ni after WW II people stopped...
Do you own any lustrous BU NZ cu/ ni of this era? These coins almost all got into circulation and are gone now or heavily worn. XF's are...
Not one employee at JM was stupid enough to pay $1.25 each for 1942 nickels, I wager. I suppose it's possible they got mixed accidently. May...
I don't know but I've never heard of one. Catalog prices for moderns are becoming meaningless as collectors compete for what's available. Early...
Interesting. Thanks. These markets sure have evolved a lot in the last 40 years.
That sounds like far too much and a couple thousand sounds more like a proper price level. However, it is entirely possible that for some reason...
Quarters are still the "workhorse of circulation". They aren't worth much any longer due to deficit spending but they are the largest coin and...
There have been no silver quarters in "circulation" since 1970. When you find a silver quarter in change it's because it just got into change by...

Anyone collecting these mint sets knows this isn't true. Since 1965 the exact methods to make these sets and coins has changed again and again...
The quarter is very nice. I think 66 is a shoe-in and 66+ quite likely. It has a shot at 67 but it's hard to say from a picture. There's...
It's a nice enough set but it's not "unusual" or truly special. The quarter will grade 65+ or 66 (maybe even 66+ but I'd need a better picture...
It's likely plated. It's not impossible that a silver bicentennial planchet was struck in 1975 while the '74's were still being minted but such a...
There are a few really top notch cents in the souvenir sets. Especially the Philly. I have an '82-P cent that is very PL and mostly clean. The...
