Look at the price for a roll of 1986-D Zincoln cents. I guess not many rolls were saved.
It would still have mirrored fields, just dinged up and scratched. Go buy a 1968-S, or another cheap year of proof cent and carry it around in...
#8 is one that is hard to teach to newcomers. There are no bargains. Garbage in, garbage out. Buy nice coins because they are easy to sell. I...
I think it is more about who you let know that you collect coins, and don't flash them around. Loose lips sink ships.
Is there a site or place to find an approximate value for holders, like NGC Black, Doilies, Regency, etc?
Nice original coins. A couple look like they were removed from Mint Sets.
Washington Quarters don't have breast feathers. More like cross-hatching.
It does have some damage post-strike. That is the problem with Zincolns. I wouldn't buy a Red Zincoln for the world. Just a matter of time...

I sent a 1816/5 bulk handling half in to ANACS without the csrd and it came back MS69. I couldn't see why DC called it a reject, but I was able to...
I think at one time I owned 2% of the mintage.

St Gaudens/Morgan did the official presentation medal. You can pick them up with the aluminum case at a fairly reasonable price. About 76mm dia.
For 100 easy payments of...?
Heavily over dipped. AU details.
64. The box is exceptional with very clear stampings.
Dipping would make an ugly coin worse. The most I would do would be to soak in some solvents and use a sonicator if available to loosen the darkness.
Your are right on - laminated planchet. Worth a premium, but would have been worth much more in mint state.
The only medals I can think of that have a monetary value are the silver Swiss Shooting Thalers. They were struck at the same weight and fineness...
