Moderns are the best "investment" going. But anyone who thinks coins are good investments are the same people who bought Gem morgan dollars in...
I seriously doubt that's wear on it. It'll come off in isopropyl alcohol. It's a decent strike and other than a little chicken scratching...
I think MS-65 is a reasonable grade. You don't see them this nice very often. I've gone through rolls and can't recall a nicer one.
As you know nice attractive examples like your's are seldom seen. There isn't much demand for them though.
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
Doubloons are grossly underrated as a collectible. They are a lot of fun with numerous rarities, scarcities and highly desirable issues that are...
Some coins mmust be removed from their OGP. I have a superb Gem 1949 Polish set that welded itself to the plastic and is utterly ruined. These...
This is a real cherry. Either a very very picky collector spent it or it just got away from someone. You'd have to look at a few hundred...
If they got a computer it wouldn't be necessary to white out the price in every individual catalog and write in a realistic one. They could just...
I like 'em all except Effigy Mounds and Ozark Waterways.
I rarely speak at all about Krause anymore because they apparently consider any press to be good press and they are simply horrendous. They quit...
For what it's worth, I've heard rumors for many years that some countries and some coins are not allthey are purported to be. This applies to...
These are not so common as you might think in Unc. The 1974 isn't scarce like some of the other high mintage dates of the 10Y still circulating...
It's difficult to judge a coin by a photo but my best guess is that it's a mint set coin struck on a burnished planchet.
I wasn't aware of this. Better figure MS-66 FS then.
It's very nice but believe it or not this date comes even nicer. It is FS and probably MS-66 with a good shot at 67.
I've never seen the Alcoa token before. It might not be scarce but it's not common.
Thanks for the link and posts. Can you post any pictures of the alcoa tokens?
Thanks. I had thought there was a lot more aluminum in these alloys.
Cote calls this "municipal trade currency". Most are issued by the chamber of commerce or the other civic organization but also by the town...
