You're right. They've all been panned. Even my favorite, the buffalo nickel, was largely scorned initially. The early designs were especially...
I started a world silver type collection 1800 to date more than 30 years ago. There are a lot more of these than you might think and most are...
To each his own and it's very easy to understand why many people don't care much for clad copins or any modern circulating coins. While their...
I don't think either is the case. If the FED had melted any we should know about it so it's most unlikely any cu/ ni were melted other than a...
Stewart; It's simply astounding howe overlooked the Ikes have always been. Oh sure they got lots of attention when they first came out and...
Any coin at all can be a sleeper and for practical purposes the term "sleeper" is just a coin that might experience large increases in demand. Of...
It could be a rare variety and would be quite valuable as such. There are more likely possibilities though. There are still unknown varieties...
That sounds cheap. The last I looked these wholesale at $18. It was a low mintage mint set and few rolls were saved. A lot of the few...
I think one of the most overlooked coins of the age is the '82-P quarter in near gem or better. No, not necessarily what gets slabbed as MS-64 and...
Yes!!!! And this is why many moderns have increased hundreds fold; they are rare. They have very low demand because most of the hobby...
Common coins have never been good investments. What is an 1871 indian cent in about good condition and porous worth? The same applies to what...
It's most assuredly not THE DDO. From the picture I can't tell if it's a true DDO or not but lean toward not.
A cud can be defined as anywhere the die steel has broken off and some people do call the second two internal cuds. Whatever you call them...
Everything is perception. 1965 quarters are percieved to be common so almost every one ever made is in circulation except for the 750,000,000...
No! The coinage hasn't so much been picked over as the silver coins have been selrctively removed from circulation. "Picked over" suggests all...
OK. I think I got you now. In other words you can only use quarters to replace five dimes. I hate it but you're right it does work.
I should add that while I love dimes as a collectible I've never been fond of them as a circulating coin. This especially applies to the clad...
OK. This can work but it works against the consumer to round up all the time. Some stores will take advantage by not having quarters and always...
Post #29; Yes, but you can't get 5c in change or 15c in change. Every other number could be managed but the typical counterperson at...
So what do you do with the 50,000,000,000 quarters? There would either be some convoluted rounding scheme that sometimes cheats the seller...
