I didn't address this adequately, please let me try again. Storage in rolls is poor for the long term. If the coins are loose in the roll them...
By "bid" I'm referring to the Greysheet which is the pricing guide used by dealers. Most of the sets being destroyed are older sets that are no...
Not necessarily silver, just old and in demand. Imagine the price that first dime would have brought if it were the only available date of a...
I consider them similar in that they were released about the same time from 1963 to 1979 for a high percentage of the unc Morgans available. Those...
Interesting thread. I've read it all but pg 15, I should have looked at it long ago but figured it was something else. There is a high...
This is essentially correct I believe. They adopted FIFO accounting in 1972 and they were still releasing brand new 1965 coins in 1975 so...
It's highly unlikely they'd melt them unless there is a structural change in coinage demand or the value of the dollar. They'd store them for...
There were more than 40 billion dimes in circulation but this has dropped significantly. If these coins are surplus than all the coins in...
It's unique as far as the market is concerned yet attracts little interest. This doesn't support the contention it's common it supports the...
Modern keys aren't like Morgan keys. They are more like Morgans than other classic US coins but they are different. All modern key dates of...
It's simply too early to know. There's a huge inflow of coin to the FED. When this turns around and these are released it remains to be seen if...
It's the obvious answer but the wrong conclusion. Most of these rolls are generated by the big wholesalers who buy huge quantities of sets...
The problem with the older nickels is that there were many millions of each date saved out when they were issued. Then over the years there were...
Of course you're right. It doesn't matter much what causes the demand just the total. This is especially true in the short term. In the long...
That's really kind of my point. Moderns have to achieve their prices with almost no demand. Much of the demand that does exist isn't even what...
I've seen offers of $15 for AU '83-P quarters. I'm pretty sure the advertiser wanted solid AU and better and would have refused just a bunch of...
Krause does especially poorly on moderns and often very dramatically undervalues them. There many moderns that bring many many multiples of the...
The hubs were getting pretty old in 1968 and had lost a great deal of detail so these coins usually have a somewhat "mushy" appearance which looks...
I was hoping you meant the quarter. There appears to be an unreported RMM on the '84-D quarter. The cent appears to be machine doubling.
