I haven't heard anything about the cent actually being discontinued.
Yeah but when they were put in the lucite the set was probably only worth 2 or 3 dollars. Until the Hunt brothers in 79/80 these were only worth...
Pretty much every time I have seen a complete set of nickel 3 cent pieces, the 84, 85 and 87 have been proofs. Same for shield nickels the 79,...
I think they are probably proofs, and after slabbing (for around $30 each) will be worth $2 each. I that is worth it to you, go ahead.
No you weren't being unrealistic, the idea of "numismatic value" was what was unrealistic. 1940 - 62 quarters in G to Fine are readily available...
And hopefully they are being charged a rate that will handle all current and future costs. Here where I live the water company is owned by the...
A guinea is NOT a big chunk of gold, would only be about a quarter of an ounce. 8.35 grams .246 oz of gold

I'm going to assume all these images are of the same two coins. Both of the ones in the first image are Wide AM.
Through the base of the R is a die crack (die cracks and die breaks are NOT the same thing, unfortunately many people use the two terms...
True, but for the most part I don't bother looking at thumbnail images, just too much of a hassle.
And he did so just 5 minutes after initially posting it, and just 3 minutes after the first response asking for pictures of both sides of the...
What I find interesting is that the proofs posted in post #30 appear to be from two different obv dies. I also note the PF 64's and PF 65 have...
But does "issue" mean strike, or sell? The law already says that coins have to bear the date of the year in which they are struck. This could...
Very nice, a scarce little grading certificate there.
Thank you, I was about to make the point again that that is why I prefer the term Post Strike Damage. Anything that happens to the coin after the...

Separate names with a comma.
