I have to disagree. ;) I would define modern WORLD coins as any coins struck after the coiuntry switched principally to base metal coins. For...
Thanks for the opinion. I'm not extremely familiar with the services. I might undercount a little because I don't like ugly coins even if they...
It's the commonest cause of a coin being "PL". Basining is flattening the surface of the reverse image die so that the fields of the coin lie in...
About 1.5% of these are PL. Almost all the Kennedys can be found PL though some are quite elusive. The '70 PL's are a little more dramatic...
What state. I can give you an opinion probably and it's possible I can be confident. Most people would be amazed to know how extremely little...
Are the '82 and '83 issues really Unc? Most times these dates are sliders. They aren't worth all that much but you just can't find Uncs and...
I'd hang onto Indian coinage since there seems to be increasing interest in India.
I believe you're mistaken. I have the mint reports but haven't read them in years. As I remember San Francisco struck all denominations from...
I think there are still plenty of modern world coins that are grossly undervalued. Most of these have very high mintages and very low survival...
We waste countless billions in waste and inefficiency to keep a few people working in Massachusettes. This waste destroys tens of thousands of...
'65 halfs are kindda complicated. I'll talk only about the SMS. These were made by several different processes as the mint sought a replacement...
The rims have been filed or ground off. Sometimes people do this to hasten wear for pocket pieces.
When I started collecting coins with fewer than ten million examples were considered rare. Everyone wanted one or a few rolls of them. Everything...
Nice attractive VF and better early issues are quite likely to develop a premium if a market ever emerges for clads. Nice VF '69, '71. and '73-D...
I think a lot of collectors will be surprised how few of some of the later coins were saved as the interest in the states coins decreased. There...
Very impressive. I've collected these for years.
The Shell tokens and other gas tokens are a lot of fun. The Mr President tokens have three varieties and they can be tough to find in pristine...
Most of the silver coins came pretty nice usually. A few like the '54-S will often be weakly struck by worn dies but it's the exception. This is...
There is such a thing as VEDS or very early die state. These coins can be stunningly attractive as the die isn't even smoothed yet from repeated...
The '71-D is a good choice. You might consider a '76-P type I if you can find the right one. Usually I suggest peoiple buy good strikes from...
Separate names with a comma.
