Those big chunks of plastic serve no purpose other than authentication. I'd crack out an 1895s Morgan in high mint state if I ever get the funds...
Overall, not a bad example despite the stains. As already mentioned I would be in for AU money and no higher.
While I do like and collect them, I wonder how long before these get cancelled? Even though there is a rather sizable following of the series,...

Very nice example. This is a series I pondered as the Seated Liberty dimes I'm on have slowed. I'm lacking 51 for the complete run, almost all...
Which is why I laugh at the number of bidders on rolls of those W quarters. The seller takes them out and rewraps them since the banks have become...

Well done. Further along than mine which starts at 1938 and runs current. Hope this accomplishment motivates you to going back to 1909 for a...
Still, if you look past the environmental damage the details are not bad. Makes for a nice album filler.
Absolutely!
Agree 100%.
The prices you've quoted are an average based on various sales through dealers, auctions and at coin shows. As for the 2012 issues, patience. The...
And a beauty it is.
