This reminds me of the guy that would put a quarter eagle in a batch of cents and then sell the rolls with the buyer hoping they'd get THE roll...
I like the year 1916 since it was my mothers birth year but putting together a high grade set is well beyond my means.
I'm only 62 as well and really haven't had much interest in modern (post 1964) coins other than completing sets (Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt,...
I'd look for any higher grade ones pre 1940. Anything with a mint mark prior to 1930 will have some value; especially teens. Now if you have a...
So if the population for a EF45 1959 Jefferson is 1 then it should be worth thousands!
I'm sorry that you have to be so defensive here. I think the majority of us older collectors agree with most of what he said. I too got hooked...
I'd like to see what my 12 gauge would do to a Lincoln but I'd probably never find it.
That's a lot of posts. I hope to live long enough to reach 1000. Nobody likes me so I won't even go there.
Must have had deep pockets for that one. Pretty coin!
Unless you can find some rolls that were locked in a bank vault for 60+ years you won't find any. EBay is full of people selling the proverbial...
I guess everything depends on how much you want to spend. If you are on a limited budget then Jefferson's or Roosevelt dimes are good. If you...
Agree with the previous comments. If the reverse had full steps it could be worth a bit more but definitely not worth the cost of grading.
It's funny how the TPGs use a different standard for dipped copper and silver coins. Although, there are straight graded dipped copper coins out...
Looks like a dipper to me too. This is a good example to illustrate that the TPGs aren't infallible when straight grading silver coins.
You're correct. The silver one is peppermint.
Worth a dollar.
From my perspective here, the quality of the images make it impossible to do any competent comparison. The best approach would be to label each...
I would find it hard to believe that one of the major TPGs would do the proverbial "bait and switch". They already do many millions of dollars in...
Does that 1966 Peace dollar have chocolate in the middle?
Looks legit to me. This is a large motto variety which is very common. The small motto variety is scarce and considerably more valuable and the...
