It's a fun set to put together and some of the coins probably have real potential but in only $500 worth of dimes there won't be too many...
It's a great coin with a fantastic story. Experts estimate 10,000 were made and released but I suspect this number is way too low. The coin...
I've been collecting these since about 1960. With the various doubled elements on them and the numerous chips above the various parts of the...
This one's easy. It's the 1969 (yr 44) Japanese 100Y. They minted about 325,000,000 of them and put fewer than 7,000 in mint sets. Mint sets...
Very cool. Is the quarter unc?
Don't get suckered in by low mintages on moderns. Even where the mintages are truly low it's usually because they are mint set only coins and...

The first prestige set was 1982 and most of these contain some silver coins. Some 1976 sets are silver. The others are all clad, cu/ ni, and...

Due to the melt ban in this country it is illegal to even have a wholesale price. If you can deliver significant quantities out of country then...
If there were no melt ban in effect the wholesale price of these would be around 8c each and they would be used as alloy and chill scrap in the...
I may be mistaken but I believe all the half dollars with the 1965, '66, and '67 date were minted in Denver and San Francisco. If memory serves...

Coins can get caught up in machinery like a clothes dryer and get the edge worn off as well.
You're going to find it very difficult to impossible to pick up silver for less than melt. There are a lot of very desirable circulating or...
I've had this link for some time. I'll just have to get around to registering.
