It's listed as 35c but all the other Instant Winners are specifically listed as such.
OK, I found the catalog. It lists 39 issues including the Instant Winners. There's no real information here. It lists each of the regular...
I've seen the listings in the FM catalog but remember no details. Usually in games like this the winners are very tightly controlled and the...
There's no "proper price" for any coin. A unique '76 Ike proof minted in Philly exists as well and would bring a good price but who knows how...
Something strikes me that I never thought of quite this way before. Modern collectors already tend to be a little more contrary than other...
Mint sets have been getting destroyed indiscriminately for decades. The markets were saturated because everyone who wanted a mint set bought five....
They range the gamut from low mintage to high mintage and none saved. There are coins that were produced accidently or inadvertantly as well as...
I used to see some pretty nice looking XF bust halfs for a few dollars. I always trade stuff when they start going up so I'd have missed most...

The reality is exactly the opposite. New hordes of old coins come to light continually. Individuals rarities are discovered or rediscovered....
No doubt there will be increased demand for the older coins.
Your standards are arbitrary, mine are not. You can't tell what a date looks like by pop reports. With moders what you are really seeing is how...
I'm sure you're right that a lotof the most desirable modernbs have not been slabbed. They haven't been slabbed because the market is in its...
Good attitude. It is what collectors do; collect. Some people just can't understand why others collect "common" coins.
I have experience in moderns and you don't. No one has more experience with 1982-P quarters and I'm telling you point blank that a true Gem that...
I agree with 66. It's very nice for a 66 with a nice even strike but the services count bag marks. Oddly enough it doesn't look like a mint...
This modern bashing as well and probably highly misleading. Foreigners have no experience with silver and gold in their pockets either. What...
