This has been one of the easiest scores in the junk box for a long time. They'll throw other things in with a more recognizable face value once...
Thanks for the heads up. This article appeared many years ago in, I believe, Coins magazine but it has been rewritten slightly.
You'll also find when you get to uncirculated coins that they will vary somewhat by date. Some dates come nice so hard held to a strict stan-...
I think it has to be eagle reverse clad quarters. I doubt even today there are 2000 serious collectors. There are another 10,000 now days trying...
I've been coin roll hunting since 1957. Never before have there been easier pickings of numismatically great coins than there are today. These...
Collect what you like and ignore the profit angle. The better you are at collecting the more profit you'll probably make anyway. Learn the value...
Krause does US and modern collectors a tremendous disservice. A disproportionate number of world rarities are in the US because our large middle...
The nickels will not be worth their metallic value until the government legalizes their destruction. Their primary value is as chill scrap in the...
I didn't notice the chipping of the die. I think I've seen this before.
It's in NJ if memory serves.

That's a nice solid but low end Gem. MS-65. If you looked at 100 '78-D's in mint sets there'd be only two or three nicer. This date come...
I'm not sure this is true. I'm not sure it isn't either. Most slabbed Kennedys are going to be very high grade. They aren't worth the cost...
There are several factors working against this coin being a valuable coin. It's not so much the high mintage (2.5 million) as it is the high...
We have to have the nickel to bridge the gap between the dime and quarter. The simplest solution is to make the nickel out of aluminum and...
They've wasted so many millions of dollars making worthless slugs that it's only right they should waste more millions of dollars looking for ways...
I don't believe more than a handful were struck twice. "Proof" is often defined as having multiple strikes. The SMS's were also stuck at...
I think you have about the best possible plan here. One of the things you'll see pretty quickly is that the mint set coins will have better...
Welcome back to coin collecting. I'd suggest that you look through mint sets to make a collection. It's fun to search rolls and if this...
In this case I was referring to somewhat older coins; the 50c and 1E minted from 1924 to 1968. These were very heavily circulated and even though...
Separate names with a comma.
