SuperDave, thank you! Link doesn't work, but I found the page easily enough. I see the "engraved wing" on both my coins. (For comparison I have a...

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear they don't all have the broken R. And if it's a rare feature for a '79-S Rev '78... woo hoo! Wish mine graded...
I'd never heard of the "broken R" before this thread. Guess what? Both of my '79-S Morgans have this feature. And both have the Reverse of 1978....
I panned for gold in the early 1960's. And I still have it... [IMG]
It's fun (and sometimes aggravating) to look at old price books. I've got a 1990 Whitman Handbook of dealer buying prices. Makes me wish I'd...
I'm surprised the Canadian Mint doesn't edge-serialize some of their low-mintage coins -- especially given their high premiums. Other government...
Same for the Capped Bust HALF dollar 1807-1836. It reads "FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR". [IMG] [IMG]
Not available yet. Probably not until this Summer. Then they'll be VERY easy to find at the USMint:...
Maybe you think the US Mint ships with the US Postal Service? Of my 3 recent orders, 2 went FedEx and 1 went UPS.
Their Omnia silver round is a tribute to old Spanish cobs aka "doubloons". (the scratches are on the capsule) [IMG] "In Omnia Paratus" (ready for...
It looks the same as this photo from the Scottsdale website: [IMG] https://www.scottsdalesilver.com/store/product.php?productid=13
2016 Platinum Eagles. But don't just blindly buy 'em. Watch the mintage limits & premiums. And I plan to play the Centennial Gold "lottery". Buy...
I'll guess $250 - $300 (about uncirculated condition). But if it's Mint State (MS) condition, according to the latest Greysheets... MS60 is $305...
Yup, Excel. But instead of one big file, I think it's more manageable to have a bunch of smaller files ($1, Walkers, Franklins, 25c, 10c, etc).
+1. You can get a brand-new pristine 2016 for about $22. Or for about $26, get a nice 1988.
I think it's a "mistake". Should be $3,950 for that MS69. That'd make sense for their MS70 price of $4,950:...
Generally, YES! Home ownership is more important than a coin collection -- especially if you're raising a family. But I would NOT sell my coins...
A bit off topic... In 2017, I would MUCH rather see a series of WWI military medals -- commemorating U.S. involvement April 1917 - Nov 1918....
If it's silver, I'm in.
