I would suggest nice attractive examples of all the BU Ikes. If you look at a few of each date you'll see all Ikes are not created equal and all...
I don't believe they really do anything shady. I wouldn't advise anyone except beginning collectors to buy from them because their prices aren't...
The best bet for cheap with Jeffersons is to look for nice gemmy coins from new dies but have a little reverse marking. Of course what's cheap...
It wasn't what the Hunt brothers were doing that was a "scam". The scam was perpetrated by the COMEX which changed the rules in the middle of the...
There were two major blowoffs with the first being in '80 and the second in '89/ '90. Prices were very strong in '86 but retreated slightly before...
I believe there's one in the whole country but it's open only a few hours per day. Paul Green used to write about getting coins here. I...
My personal opinion is the BU coins are almost sure winners if you get truly high grade coins. Of course this presupposes you don't just get the...
Interesting coins. We see the older issues here but they are almost invariably heavily worn. How's the market for Iceland now? I'd guess...
I believe they're all marked in a sort of code on the outside.
There are no laws currently being enforced regarding melting any US gold or silver coins. It is illegal to melt pennies and nickels. There's a...
Some sets are best left in the original mailing boxes since many people check through individual sets looking for the finest specimens and...
I believe this date is grossly undervalued. The potential demand is huge because of the Ghandi coins in it and the world-wide appeal. Many of...
There's no real controversy about whether these coins are legitimate or not. A few well respected numismatists had a knee jerk reaction in...
Sorry for missing the post. It appears you are correct with the 10 and 20 k. Krause lists the '70 mint set at $2,050 now.
They're really an interesting collection. They tend to be a little frustrating though because some mint and proof sets lose almost all their...
I collect them and callthem "mint set tokens". There are hundreds of different tokens that have been used by world mints in mint and proof...
This is exactly the problem. The doctor was wrong then and might still be wrong. If the penney was pretty new (as it probably was) then it might...
One single zinc cent can kill a mammal less than 18 lbs. This includes virtually all babies and a good percentage of toddlers.
There's enough zinc in a single penny to kill a mammal less than 18lbs. A penny doesn't stay in the stomach long and might pass through...
I thinkit would be a major blunder. The savings would be nominal at best and would decrease the value of the coins in many collectors' eyes...
Separate names with a comma.
