It happens in lots of ways but many times a dealer will tell a customer to just spend some of the coins and the customer will insist on getting...
I really don't see that so much. I could say bad things about lots of moderns but try not to say anything bad about any coins. So long as a...
I only point it out so that newbies can see the attitude that has led to the current situation. Also I get a chance to sing the praises of the...
I shouldn't post in the morning. I knew you weren't trying to bash moderns. There's really nothing wrong with it even if you were but I would...
One of the things that has always attracted attention to any collectible is age. The older beanie babies from the 1980's were worth more than the...
Way Cool!!! Good for you and great for the customer. One of the reasons so many moderns are scarce is dealers have been telling people to...
People have been bashing moderns since 1965 and this is more of it. If they didn't want to "strain at gnats, trying to determine in 1000 new...
I don't know how I missed this. A collection of these would have some limited value and could be valuable depending on whether or not there are...
Most of these are very nice. I especially like the '83-D (sm motto), (2nd) '70-D, '82-P, '70-P, '77, and and '69. I'd love to own the '83-D.

This is blatant modern bashing in several ways. I suppose it's true that if you want to impress older coin dealers who have something to sell...
The vast majority of mint set coins are marked. Some are severely marked and most are lightly marked but better than 98% have marks. Most marks...
These appear about in about .7% of '88 mint sets. This one is typical in its rotation but is unusually nice. Most are charitably MS-63.
Perhaps I should have said that so far as I know all mint set coins are washed and dried. The information on mint set coins and packaging is very...
"Everything" is different with mint set coins. Dies are changed frequently so they're always new and the coins are struck more slowly and under...
Of course you're right. But collectors shouldn't think that this guide is in any way reflective of scarcity. I'd wager that you wouldn't find...
Very nice. Most appear to be mint set coins and select examples at that. With Kennedys the finest examples are clean at the top of the shield...
These prices appear to be assigned almost randomly and do not reflect the relative difficulty of finding nice clad quarters. By far the toughest...
