Depends on a ton of factors. Wonder why 69's have no premium? Its because everyone is hoping for 70's, so a 69 is really a reject. THey slab en...
Yeah, I couldn't remember which one error folks yelled at people about. Doubled was in my head, but too many people like to correct grammar on...
I would argue its semantics. To me, if the mint never meant to make it, its not a variety but an error. The mint did not intentionally make the 55...
I would say the two almost all US coin collectors know would be the 1955 DD and the 1922 Plain, (though many do not know its really an error, and...
I never said people have not made money at it. I am simply pointing out real estate is tied to local politicians. It is not in any way portable...
