Yes. This is what I mean. There are Russian coins in poundage so they can't be all that scarce. We need to remember though that poundage is a...
It's still listed as being common all the way up. It's 50c in XF.
I'm just reporting what the new Krause says. I'm not saying I agree with it or that I have any special knowledge of most of these coins. Some of...
This is another coin listed at big bucks in the new Krause. It has to be Unc though and in my experience these are subject to a lot of...
People might be surprised how much some of the coins in this thread are worth now days. Even "cheap" coins like the AU '40 3k are going for...
I always used to say it was RS Yeomen, then John J Pittman, then Herb Hicks, then me. Of course it probably isn't true but I say it anyway. I...
Thanks all. I think a lot of the credit goes to Charles Morgan and Hubert Walker. I was never able to identify the markers for these so...
Exactly! Collectibles pricing is based primarily on demand and predicting future demand is usually about as accurate as predicting a game of...
It's a 1954 proof set from India. Many world moderns have been simply exploding in price. No, it's not because demand is exploding but...
Yes. I agree. Cent and half dollar sweet spots are higher than the other clads and nickels. There are more of these and nicer coins were saved....

I think many people might be putting too much emphasis on a term like "conditional rarity". Sure a 1982-P quarter could hardly be more common in...
It looks like it got away from a mint set. It might be (or have been) MS-66. Except for a little strike weakness it loiks very good.
I've never seen one.
Keep in mind that if there's damage an acetone soak will reveal it. It can be hard to tell especially with aluminum and aluminum bronze. Cu/ ni...
I'm a big fan of nice attractive 1969 quarters. They don't even have to be Gem, just something that's nice enough someone might want it in a...
Boy, these come just horrible. If you can find a Gem it's worth a lot of money. Some of the varieties have value as well.
Well preserved older clads tend to turn a golden color. Usually it's a very attractive gold and sometimes not. The newer clad seems to have more...
I don't think I ever knew that but forgot if I did. Thanks.
