Commidaddy, why not get everyone a birth year set? This past Christmas I assembled a set of higher end circulated and a few uncirculated...
I personally would dig into them. I doubt there will be a shortage of these in rolls as soon as the initial rush is over.
If you think the Morgan would grade a 64 or better and the peace is well struck and a 65, they may be worth sending in. Neither are rare by any...
Well put. I think the mint is under the impression that all people want is change. That is part of the reason the state quarters took off so well....
Sorry for the explosion. I guess I just have a bit of a problem with cleaning coins and couldn't resist!;)
I cannot see the dates. But if they are common like I suspect, it probably isn't worth your money to slab them.
Did you manage to get any without those "water spots" we're so accustomed to seeing on the new Lincolns?
I have the same collection and hopes as you. I also try to use them in commerce as much as possible. I also realize they either end up in a stash...

I usually use a wire brush to clean my coins unless they are copper. Copper coins require sandblasting. After that is complete, soak them in...

Great work! I wish I had 1/10 the artistic ability of yours.
After 2001, the mint produceed Kennedy's exclusively for collectors. The reserve has plenty of half dollars currently in stock. If they ever run...
I would have to say the Walking Liberty Halves are the most overlooked series in my opinion. Many can still be purchased in higher grades very...
I think SGS should jump on this craze! At least they would give the coin a grade.
Not a super deal, but the best I've seen so far. I'm still going to get mine for face at the bank or local gas station. If you can send any coin...
I personally believe that if you are getting melt or less for your 90% coins, you are going to the wrong place. There is no reason to get less...
Now, before I start I want to say I don't think it is in any way an easy task running a coin shop. I do believe however that if you eat, sleep,...
I think is's great to see these old threads come back. Many newbys are not aware of the worst places to buy coins. Better to learn from someone...
As I read this thread, this quote kept going through my head at full volume. Thank you!!!:cool:
