The Morgan Mint is one I would add to your list because their prices are high.
It doesn't look gold plated in the scanner picture. Buying Ikes for $1 is never a mistake.
I would say F, EF, AU, AU/MS.
The Coinage Act of 1792 created the Mint and defined the denominations and weights for US coins [for the first time I believe], but I don't think...
I think it might go EF and would be a good buy for VF money. It looks like some of the mint luster is still present. I can't tell from the photo...
Well, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, but the states were still independent. The Ariticles of Confederation only provided for...
The silver value is $12. The market price will most likely be higher. If you go to sell, it might be at or slightly lower than $12 if you take...
I'm confused. What makes this the first USA legal tender coin if it wasn't minted in the USA and predates the formation of the USA?
Another way to put this in perspective is that I would prefer to own a silver dollar last touched by a miner in California purchasing dry goods in...
I prefer collecting circulated morgans because I like the prices and like the variety provided by circulated vs uncirculated coins [just a...
Maybe the "weak vdb" label is ANACS way of giving you a hint that even though they graded it VG8, if you try to cross it it will come back G6 or G4.
I would take the morgans because I like large silver coins. The old eyes aren't good enough to fully appreciate worn cents.
I'm probably 1/3 collector and 2/3 investor. There are many coins I like available for close to melt value such as the modern gold commemoratives...
That's an interesting way to put it. To be ethically consistent, it seems folks should be for both or against both. Maybe the exception is to...
I would think that dipping an uncirculated dime might ruin the luster on the obverse with unpredictable results on the reverse.
I've probably spent the most time reading about civil war tokens and hard times tokens, although I don't own many of them. Go figure.
Personally, I would just put it back in the folder and leave it alone. A collection in an old folder might have more value to some people than...
That's probably true, and funny in a way. I was going to say that someone looking for the coins won't care, but someone interested in...
That's the problem in a nutshell, similar to the reprints in sports cards. It seems that the coin should be marked in some way in the same manner...
It is one of the better silver commemorative designs.
Separate names with a comma.
