It's tough to tell inside the plastic but I tend to agree with MS61.
If you have an open mind and a little bit of risk-taker in you, you can try to "unclean" the coins. Carry them around in your pocket for about 6...
Avi, Kennedy halves are beautiful coins. If this particular one inspires you to put a set together, then it has been very valuable. I presume...
The gain on sale is taxed at the federal level at 15% if you are in the 15% tax bracket, and at 28% for all other tax brackets.
It's easier.
That would be my concern also. The like-kind rule applies only to business and investment property, and the IRS gets to determine what qualifies....

I'm not sure how someone can ever become adept at cleaning unless they actually clean coins. It would be foolish to start with high valued coins,...
I wouldn't take anything for granted in light of the homeland security regulations. Check out everything with both the local and US authorities...

It isn't clear to me whether or not ultrasonic cleaners do anything to coins. However, it's not a good idea to use it on a valuable uncirculated...
I agree that the direction is up, although I don't have any idea how high it will go. Silver probably won't be far behind gold. It was an...
There is no doubt that there is still a lot of silver around, but at what price? A lot of silver that has been "used" probably could be recovered...
I think the designs will look great if they can actually put that much detail into each coin!
Coins are more fun. Bullion is easier, and you will get approximately the same return as the increase/decrease in the metal less the dealer...
