Actually an '83-P can sell for $25 even in AU if it is well made.
Indeed! The next generation of collectors may or may not collect clads but one thing for sure; they won't avoid them because they aren't silver....
Hard to tell from the picture. Perhaps someone tried to carve their own mint mark and it's worn oddly.
The percentage of coins that are held out of circulation for over three years is very tiny. The percentage over ten years is far smaller. You...
Perhaps their first reaction to seeing something unusual is to seek expert advice. I'm sure there are numerous reasons people come here asking...
I don't really understand what's wrong with the price guides but I've spoken to some of the publishers. This was back in the '90's when they just...
Now that's an understatement! ;) I've been collecting circulating clad since 1996 and find it simply fascinating and a lot of fun. Most...
The '87-P looks like it might have mint set crimping damage on the reverse but it might just be an optical effect. This damage is caused by the...
800,000,000 minted but only 500,000,000 survive. Of these 450,000,000 are in only VG to F condition with most of the rest in G or VF. Ten years...

Nothing too special. Little better grade and much tougher date than most coins you see in circulation. It will take a couple hundred rolls of...
This is called "coin collecting". People who like to collect one of everything often like varieties. People who collect coins and like one of...
It's in a little lower grade than most '97 quarters. In the coin hobby you need to find coins that are in higher condition or much higher...
Beautiful coin. I'd grade it a very nice high end VF (VF+). It could be an SMS strike but even seeing it in hand might not confirm it. You'd...
It's in remarkably good condition for a '74 quarter. It looks like a solid mid-range XF with only minor damage. Only about 1 in 100 '74 quarters...

The "spaghetti hair" came in steps but most people consider it to be starting in 1995. The eagle reverse series was complete in '98. How the...
