Found this in change today. Not an error collector, so I'm just assuming this is a die break as it looks a lot like the Arizona quarters with the...
I sure wouldn't put more than 5% into metals....too unpredictable, even during the best of times. I'd reinvest where I already have investments...
Thats a great walker! Nice buys. Guy~
You're not alone. If I'm going to pay 1000 bucks on gold, it's going to be a numismatic coin, not a bullion coin. I don't think they look bad....
I looked and my P Alaska quarter also has the same feature....the extended material between the 4th and 5th claw. Whatever it is, it's not part of...
I don't know, I like that look on Lincolns. I have a lot that have naturally toned that color, but mostly from the 60's and 70's....they seem to...
I guarantee that isn't right. You could buy three real St Gaudens high reliefs in high MS grades for that amount. I'm betting it'll be around 1100...
I wouldn't have photographed it that way. But, like Doug said, for a circulated example I don't think it's going to hurt it. Unless he just...
More than likely they were just scrap. If nothing else, you got some useful money out of a bunch of coins that might have otherwise spent an...
All coins will tone eventually. If it's 150 years old and blast white, it's more than likely cleaned. I'd let them tone before I cleaned anything....
Right...but, if you were standing outside when you said it, you'd be a nut. This guy is obviously a nut if he thinks so strongly about the coin...
Throw my name in! Guy~
I love that part. I know I'm in a jealous rage, probably like everyone here, over this common cent. I hope he posts more imaginary rarities for...
Or it's just a silver proof. Thats my guess as they're common enough. Guy~
Well, you're doomed now. Once you buy a Capped Bust half, there's no stopping....ever. Guy~
Nice half cents, Toad! I'm a big fan of the Drapped Bust half cents myself. Wish I could find more. Guy~
I'd almost bet thats exactly what happened to the majority of the coins listed. That's always my biggest headache when working a show....trying to...
I don't know much on ancients, but if I had to guess I'd say because of the thinness of the coin a cupped shape adds to it's surface area...
I always thought that's what the arrows on the obverse represented. Guy~
Nice coins, clembo! I've always liked the Seated quarter with rays design. Wonder why they didn't stick with that look? Guy~
