Now that you mention it I think I have a couple of the '48 50 f. I don't have a lot of the Hungarian post war coins but I got lucky many years...
It's not a good idea to buy coins for profit. But this never stopped me and it never stopped profiting.
This is a common belief but it's not true. The coins are "common" only because there is no demand. Frankly I don't find the Hungarian aluminum...
A lot of these are originally damaged in equipment and machines. Car crushers are a very common source. Only those which are repaired will...
It was damaged and then repaired. Rather than take a loss on these by tossing them in the trash some people will give them a few well directed...
Cleaning is an art and requires a great deal of experience and practice. I could provide some of the basics but it would be inappropriate in...
I wouldn't buy any coin for an investment. But If I were going to regardless of sound advice you could do way worse than Soviet coins......
This will probably be the fate for AU's but it's entirely possible the Uncs will be underpriced early on. I think the Uncs will start stupid...
A BU 1971 quarter goes for $36 a roll wholesale. XF's are quite tough in circulation and anything in nice VF or better is worth putting in a...
I forgot or never knew this. If I remember right my only contact with the hobby in 1974 were intermittent issues of COINage. All I knew was they...
Wow! I'm a big fan of anecdotal evidence, even second hand. I hope you're right. I'd rather nice specimens not be too hard to find. The mint...
I'm figuring most of the production will be Gems. Then being in the tops of the bags assure they'll stay Gem right into the hoppers at the...
I didn't like it much. I sure didn't hate it but it seemed a little staid and plain to me. It did grow on me over the years and now I do like...
There is a RPM for the date but I don't believe this coin is it. There would be a raised line poking up from the middle of the "D".
Wow!!! I thought it was 10 million of each rather than 2 million. I hope I can find one before it's worn down to XF.
I generally agree. Government encourages electronic money so we can be tracked and has inflated the value out of coins. Even the currency is no...
A brand new 1969 quarter that Neil Armstrong left in his locker before going to the moon has no historical significance? How about the '67...
It's not the mintages that make so many moderns nearly worthless; it's lack of interest. How ironic that one of the primary reasons for lack of...
Can't tell from the pics (never really can) but my gut tells me it has a good shot at 66.
You really need to be familiar with each date and m/m and its specific characteristics. As a rule MS-68 is going to be a clean coin with a decent...
