Unfortunately the “O” mint mark is incorrect. It should be a single “C” which stands for made in China. The sad truth is these fakes have been...
We should all be glad that once 2020 is over, no more coins bearing that date are made in 2021. If that were mint policy, none of the “modern...
The price didn't increase until 1965 when the Special Mint Sets were priced at $4.00. There was only one 40% silver coin in that 1965 set.
Yep, These pieces are right down there with the "California gold" pieces with the bear and "Eureka" on them. Modern creations.
Here is a 1956 Proof set in the original mint envelope. The issue price was $2.10. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here is a 1955 Flat Pack set. Some 1955...

Yea, tell me about it. And the Internet does not help much. It's the first time I stumped Google.
My opinion of the OP coin is that it is an AU piece that has been lightly cleaned. I don't know that it would get a straight grade. Here is the...
You can see why I made my "I refuse to carry their water" comment. They invited me to their FUN luncheon for years. Then they cut me off their...
