There's not a lot of demand except at the wholesale level. The typical LCS will have two or three of these but might not display them. Every six...
The 40% Unc sets are far more interesting because the attrition is far higher and because there exists a large spread in the quality of the coins....
I don't disagree. A mintage of four million hardly agrees with "underrated". But it should be remembered that a great number of these have been...
I'm in pretty close agreement. I believe the world coin market has some more room to grow especially in those countries that haven't been hot...
Step couldda gone either way. The little gouge and weakness above the third column is what got it. The thing is this coin is very tough as...
I suspect the picture is not representative of what it looks like in hand. It's hard to say but it looks like mint set tarnish on it along with a...
Being unpopular is often key to a coin's ability to become popular. This makes perfect sense if you think about it. Something that is very...
There was a story of a very young toddler in Australia who got a 1958 3p stuck in his voicebox and was never able to speak. In his mid-20's a...
Right now the best deals are foreign coins (especially 720 to 925) and low mintage art bars from the '70's. You can pick up FM anything for way...
Over the years the discounts and premiums fluctuate. Generally I like to buy things with the lowest net cost (largest discounts) and later trade...
Nice coin. It should go 66+ after a dip.
Nobody set aside clad after 1966. Nobody noticed it wasn't set aside because nobody collected it and there were ample numbers of fresh mint sets...
Cool. The one thing I never had in all my years of buffalo collecting is a big hoard to search. I searched a few small hoards but they were...
It's a small fraction of wholesale and a tiny fraction of the combined value of the coins.
A new dryer will break the first time shorty after the warranty expires and will last only about five years. Washers might make 7 or 8. Never...
The mint makes billions of pennies every year so all coins have to be made on very high speed presses. The dies move so fast they simply don't...
There was a great deal of congressional work on the transition to clad coinage. The vending industry had a great deal of pull in the decisions as...
#1 looks best but is MS-65+ not FS. #2 looks FS but is low end MS-65 or MS-64. FS is common on '71-D so does not warrant submission...
It's a very common date that's tough in high end VF. The green might come off with olive oil but the coin seems almost fully priced even with the...
Spectacular reverse! These come a little cleaner but hardly better made. I think it would go MS-66 but 67 is possible. Was it a widely sold...
Separate names with a comma.
