I agree. There are tens of millions of people collecting clad quarters from pocket change and there's a very small jump from collecting these...
World mint sets are often a great deal. People didn't save many of the coins minted between 1945 and 2000 but the mints made BU sets of coins....
I'm a big fan of modern Indian coins and hope this thread does nothing to discourage anyone from posting them. I've got a very gemmy '54 proof...
Just delete b & c and change it to; the coins go to many counting houses at the behest and under the control of the regional FED branches....
You guys have it basically right but the FED branches do very little in handling coins now days. This job is contracted out to the counting...
I concur. Almost all 1983 to date proofs are DCAM and '82 to date are superb. I think they might have peaked back in the '80's but every coin...
Some areas of the country are doing better than others. Places like MT ID and eastern Washington might actually need additional coin and could...
Well, the thickness of a clad dime is more variable than an old silver dime. Weight is determined by the thickness (and compo- sition) of the...
This date appears to be well represented in FED storage. If they get melted it's a great date but until they do it's best to consider this...
You have half of a regular 1980 mint set. The other half has an envelope with blue stripes and the six Philly mint coins for 1980.
I hate to see anyone buy any modern coin for "investment". I know this isn't really what you're talking about but when this consideration is a...
I had a hunch it would go 69 but it's hard to grade proofs from pictures. You shouldn't be extremely excited about this though since '83...
One thing not mentioned yet but that is well known is that the reverse design is the same as the Apollo 11 mission design worn by the astronauts...
Nice BU cu/ ni Greek coins of the '50's can be quite pricey. The '54 5D lists for $50 but, of course, this one isn't unc. While it lists for...
I like Ike. I even think the reverse design is pretty good art. The obverse isn't bad art when you consider what Gasparro had to work with....
With no more information than this I'd guess it's probably plated but it could be off-metal (valuable) or counterfeit (worth a few bucks).
How would you grade this dollar? I found this post on "How would you grade this dollar?" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for...
The coin has light wear and is poorly struck. A buffalo nickel that looks like this would grade VF at best. But the services do allow for how...
D'oh. I should have responded much earlier to this. You're right that th mint set coins are very often no better than any others. Indeed,...
It could be a while until it's known if any of these were overlooked. They also have to work themselves out of the pipeline a little or any...
