Thanks y'all. I really honestly have no idea where I want to go next. I'm in the process of trying to decide that now, and will be picking up a...
Just for future reference, Overton only covers early halves (1794-1836). Wiley and Bugert is pretty much the only reference for Seated Liberty Halves.
It is interesting, yes. I don't think I would have paid anywhere near that amount - I probably would have paid $15 for it.
I think I used around 100 pennies per pound, because I didn't know exactly how many are in a pound.
With the purchase of the incredibly elusive 1952S tonight, I completed my Franklin half dollar set. Every coin is a minimum of 64FBL, every coin...
At that price, it works out to about 3.6 cents per penny. This is a fair to strong retail price for common date circulated wheaties. You have to...
My most recent purchase is a straight clip. This happens when the planchet is punched from the edge of a strip - and is discussed in much more...
I don't understand your question/comment?
I actually got a Zachary Taylor in change the other day. But then I spent it. Sorry, I just can't get excited about these.
As that is a significantly different topic, maybe you could start a new thread on the subject.
Snaz, what is this keywords feature and how do I use it? I hate putting all this work into threads and then having them fall into the abyss of...
Thanks for the compliments, guys. This one is graded EF-45, and I paid $130 for it. I am perfectly content with the price, and cannot wait to see...
I bought 4 or 5 of these (from a different seller) a couple of weeks ago. They make great Christmas presents.
Just bought this cool one off Teletrade.
Of course, its a half dollar. I saw this on Teletrade the other evening, and I loved the look of it. In the process of trying to decide which...
Great info. Roger Burdette has written a couple of articles on this subject. My favorite is the one about proposed half dimes. The mint chose to...
I know all about the Type II - I wrote an extensive thread on them here: http://www.cointalk.com/t72184/ Which is why I was so excited to hear...
A 1957 MS type II? Do you have pictures and documentation? They have been rumoured to exist, but no Franklin expert I have talked to has actually...
I don't understand your question? All proof halfs from 1957-1963 (and most of the 1956 halves) are all type II.
Its interesting to note that 3 of their 12 biggest mistakes involved copper turning in the holder. That's 25%. That's a lot. If they can eliminate...
