So, I go to the bank today and ask for a couple of rolls of cents and a roll of halves. The half roll was a (what do you call it? a shotgun...
Right, 90%. As of today, melt value is just under 10 times face value. (So, to a semi-newbie like me, 13-times seems reasonable). Instead of...
And in those cases, do we ever see an AU-58 priced more than the MS-63, if it's a superior coin in terms of strike and eye appeal?
ask the seller! Why not send the seller a message, asking if it the mark is in the holder or the coin? His answer, via email, will be the proof...
Welcome! I see it's your first post. Congrats. And what a great find . . . I haven't seen a war-nickel in change in years! I'm a bit new here...
May I also recommend Jefferson Nickels . . . . which is the only series where you can get most of the coins going back to the start (1938) in...
I'm guessing my take home lesson is: "my analysis is correct for the general case" but also: "I have to learn which dates are weak strikes"? Or...
I might add . . . it's a cheap way to make money, since there is no shipping charge and no premium. My credit card gives 1% back on everything ....
Hey -- have you been reading my mind? ;) On wheaties (correct me if I'm wrong) I tend to look at both: cheek/jaw separation; and lines in the...
OK, all that makes sense, but: What if you find it difficult to get to a show? (And/or what are the costs, including transportation, to get to...
I do a few things if I'm seriously considering a purchase that's more than a trivial amount of cash: 1. I look at ValleyCoins, see what price...
I'm trying, I'm trying . . . that third one has _me_ flat out stumped, too! Just to clarify (if I may) -- is this a regular circulating coin (or,...
What a great idea . . . I'm on a diet, and my kids eat too much junk food . . . what a great way to get rid of it!!
In praise of Jeffs Agreed. Of all the coins in common circulation (i.e., cents thru halves), the Jefferson nickel series is the one that --...
Do you like playing different roles? (Weren't you a king, or king of a dungeon earlier?) Do kings like to be psychiatrists? And you're the...
I'm kinda shy (in person) among new people, and the tellers at the bank in which I usually make transactions (during lunch hour) is usually pretty...
I know you didn't ask _me_, but . . . to me, it does. I'm not sure I'll ever own the main Lincoln Cent keys . . . (1909-S, S-VDB, 1931S, 1914D) ....
I was wondering if _anyone_ had the same impression that I did! Arizona Jack wrote: "Those are georgous and highly desirable coins" -- so (to...
Yes, yes, I know that. (And everyone here's been saying). I understand the theory. I'm just amazed that the coins that *I* posted are desirable.
OTOH, though, would you find giving it a new paint job repugnant? ;)
