I know a few dealers who just indiscriminately cut up mint sets for the till. When I ask them about Gems and varieties they say they don't care...
And this is one of the reasons attrition on moderns is still staggeringly high. You could take a collection of high grades you just inherited...
There are some memorial cents that come extremely nice and MS-68's aren't too tough. The '79 just tends to be scratched, gouged, poorly made, or...
You're right though that MS-65's really aren't at all "rare" and will never be worth a lot of money probably. There are probably close to 50,000...
Nice coin though. It's a nice solid Gem+. There aren't many like this left because this date tarnishes but nobody collects them so there's...
Actually you still can. Most dealers don't know moderns well enough to do more than look for small date sets, cameos, and the like. The best...
You might think this but it's not true. Lots and lots of rolls were saved but the coins are almost universally a little weak and struck with...
It's an interesting quarter. Finding this date with so little wear is quite difficult because almost all are worn and because the mintage was low...
This one might be hard to grade from a photo because it might have too dull of luster. I went 67 because the coin is so good but I could easily...
That is fantastic. Those are beautiful coins, too. The one appears to be nice even wear XF. Are you near Sandusky, OH? Of course the XF has...
Wow! Have you found any of those in the last 20 years?
I like Gems in any condition but especially in BU. I mean I like well made coins either free of marks in high grade BU or with nice even wear and...
Funny thing is that nobody saved coins like the 1971 nickel and now most of them are gone so they're tougher to find than something like a 1939....
Lots of BU rolls are unsearched, of course. Don't forget though that the seller might have had an entire bag (100 rolls) and if there were no...
Until this thread I forgot I even collect them. I have only 8 or 10 different that I got all at once many years ago.
Any '67 quarter rolls are worth $155 and '83 are $550 wholesale.
About 1 quarter per roll now days has what I call a "collectible" eagle reverse quarter. By this I mean the coin is not a cull or otherwise ugly....
Yes. A lot of coins like this end up in the hands of dealers when the heirs bring them into the shop. Usually they are forced to buy them in a...
Yes. Those quarters are in remarkable condition and must have been released in recent times. But to put this in perspective back in 1964 most...
I doubt it for the simple reason that most coin dealers believe moderns and clads are uncollectible. Most people believe these are so common that...
