The '86-D is a better date and worth several dollars if it were really MS-60. After trying to scratch something off it probably has no value....
You should run for office. I don't know if you'd do any good but I'm sure you can win. :whistle:
Take a look at the '68-P cent. There are several others that are usually bad but the '68 always has carbon spots on one or both sides. 95% are...
I would suggest that in the short term it depends on how you want to display or view your coins. If you want to see them as collections of...
There is no material that can be fabricated uinto a penny for less than a cent unless it's tiny. One cent isn't really money any longer....
My father used to say that in Germany in 1922 you needed a wheel barrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread but you could pay off your mortgage...
Wow! Good luck, you're going to need it. Even the '68 and '69 are very tough and the others are virtualkly impossible. When such a set...
I bet it's closer to .001% when you consider the interest. Of course we're also teaching people that it's OK to lose money as long as you do...
This country has been losing money making, handling, and disposing of this coin since at least 1975. Just how much pain must we endure?
I recieved a 1968-S clad quarter worn down to VG several years ago. Most proofs are removed before they wear much but they can be overlooked....
The very high grade coins are from mint set, SMS (special mint set) or SF (satin finish). The cents made for circulation have been of very...
I haven't gotten an MS-67 cent in change or in a roll for three or four years now. Even MS-66's are tough for some of these. Thirty years ago...
The coin is, apparently, not a mint set coin. What leads you to believe it is common? It is very early in the year to give up on high grades...
Short term traders should probably be selling and everyone else buying. The buying might make short term moves upward as well. Whatever you do...
Do you think so? There are literally hundreds of super high quality cents made since 1986 that are candidates for MS-70. It seems unlikely...
If it were a '68 or some date that typically had small carbon spots I'd be inclined to overlook it. On a '74-P I'd be much less so.
The chances are extremely high that you have a typical set. These coins are made on different presses at higher force and lower speeds. Dies...
The three tax tokens are exceedingly common. Even in unc these aren't too tough. I'd have to check to see if they're scarce varieties. The...
Aluminum has been a common coinage material only since the onset of WW II. Coinage of most countries that didn't issue silver and gold coins...
THe small date is easiest for me to spot in the lower loop of the "9". On the large date it points down to the mint mark and on the large date it...
