If it's the same, Merc, then why is it not with the dimes and half dimes in the Redbook? why are they listed before the regular issue United...
Doug, I always try to listen, understand and learn, but that makes me question things (and to your dismay at times I have demonstrated this)....
These are dictionary.com definitions of the word set: - a collection of articles designed for use together: a set of china; a chess set. -...
It's a $5, does that make a difference? (You said a lot of wear for a $2.50)
is that flat strike or wear? It looks like wear to me, but I have never graded the $5 Indians. If that's wear it's no better than XF-40 and maybe...
I personally thought "Dog Farts" deserved better than a 6 seed. LOL

an opportunity to make money on the coin as well exists once you get that 65 FBL slab. Mecha makes a good point that the wise buy the coin not the...

no and no. This coin has neither the mint mark nor the diagnostics of a 42/41-D
good point, I did neglect the difference in composition
some of the nicest coins I have ever purchased are AU-58. Sometimes I prefer them. In fact, we have done entire threads on this very subject:...
no, I don't Doug, that would be ridiculous. But look at the pic. Look at the luster on the Half vs the rest of the coins. Like the old sesame...
Ripley, I hate to say it, but the Half Dollar in your 66 Special Mint Set looks like it is a business strike. The luster doesn't seem to go...
It really depends on you, but typically (as Rusty pointed out) a moved mintmark is more of a sub-variety, but one that I think people have missed...
