Souvenir sets are in no way similar to regular mint sets. Coins for souvenir sets are just pulled from the regular production lines. This is...
They've been doing this since 1965 and then calling them regular uncirculated coins. In a sense they are no different since they are...
It doesn't work and the phone companies don't want it to work. They won't stop them and do numerous things that just encourage them. If people...
If you count every line as a "step" then a full step nickel is 21 steps. I never saw one though a few are close. Of course more modern nickels...
You can still get very nice Ikes at little premium by searching dealer stock and mint sets. Mint set Ike are typically well struck but finding...
I'm impressed you have a coin that is Unc, and a tough date.
I should mention that I have seen odd looking 1974 quarters that are more "silver-like" than most dates. I'd guess it's more likely one of these...
40% silver planchets existed at least by 8-12-74 when ceremonnial specimens were struck for the various designers including Ahre's quarter design...
Yes. Various. But most importantly there's a 1977 40% BS quarter. Remember that quarters were struck into 1975 simultaneously with 40%...
The US Congress has made no sense in years. Perhaps they think making cents will stop anyone from noticing.
I never seem to fit any categories. :cool::( I pre-date the "class of '64" by several years, never collected pennies as a youngster, and never...
That's a great resource. Thanks.
The ones I've seen are more in the nature of fantasies made by LA Stamp. Of course there are counterfeits everywhere and it's perfectly legal...
Tokens are not commonly counterfeited yet. If these were inherited from a source that had them for more than a few years they are unlikely to be...
When I acquired a bag of 1982-P quarters from a local bank the vault manager found the request so odd that he contacted several Chicago area banks...
Thanks for all the info. Modern coins are underappreciated everywhere but maybe I'll have to be crossing South Korea and India off the list in...
Thanks for the thread. Is the 500 won really as common as its price would suggest. Did these circulate at all?
I'm more concerned about the misleading prices they publish for moderns. '82-P quarters routinely bring $40 on eBay when they are nice attractive...
The nickels won't really be "readily" available until the cost of the set comes down to the total value of the coins in the set. A lot of coins...
There aren't any other years that are hard to find but there are plenty that are hard to find in nice condition. Most of the '69 and '71 issues...
