Looks like something possibly sold through Littleton.
First of all, welcome to Cointalk! And, welcome to the collecting of mint sets. There aren't that many of us out there. I don't think you have...
I agree with everyone here. Proof and mint sets were low for a few years, and recently have seemed to dip a bit more yet. Selling them now would...
I have to agree. I think it would have affected the sales in 2009 with the low mintages, had they gone to regular finishes at that time. Many...
Agree 100%. Just for the heck of it, I'll place a ton of bids on things I plan on buying, for about what I'd expect to pay at a coin shop. Rarely...
I am a member of ANA and NOW (Numismatists of Wisconsin). I am not an active member other than attending NOW shows. Our local coin club does not...
I almost consider it a lost cause that I didn't join sooner. I remember buying silver lots on a regular basis for way under melt. I believe you...
1) YES 2) YES, with possibly a special designation. 3) Under slight magnification, unless it's an early strike (it would be more obvious) 4)...
While it is true that ebay may have affected some businesses to the point of closing their doors, I can't help but think many were not staying...
Very true! The guys at work looked at me like I was nuts when I told them what I paid for the '09 Lincoln commem with a $1 face value.
I had E-10 in my car two weeks ago, when I went to the local coin shop. Best I can do.
This looks like someone got bored at work, and put both of the coins in a hydraulic press at the same time.
I say let the people pay premiums. I'll pay a couple bucks over melt for an ASE with a few scratches or dings in it. It still weighs the same as...
This is completely normal. Only select post offices are distribution centers (usually in larger cities), where all out of town mail goes to from...
Ditto
If you are looking for the difference between proof and businees strikes, Chris gave you the answer. If you're trying to decide whether you have a...
I agree completely. I would definately upgrade to this coin if I saw it in my local coin dealers display. I cannot figure out what caused this....
Being that bullion coins such as ASEs are being collected as regular coins these days, I can see someone getting a near perfect (or perfect)...
There's really nothing illegal about it. Immoral,yes. I certainly would not do any sort of business with this establishment.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Some of these facilities are producing counterfeits good enough to fool the TPGs. They are using the same...
Separate names with a comma.
