Personally, I would recommend searching through rolls as well. Whatever interests the newbie. Halves, nickels, cents would all be good places to...
It's over $50, danr
1943 cents are notoriously missing part of the O in the reverse. I can't recall seeing many, if any, fully struck. Even in really high grades.
but what coins?
I think that at times many newcomers enter the hobby and buy what ends up being overpriced crap and then starts to educate themselves and buys...
that was kind of my point, bob. The ones they minted are coins that haven't been seen at all and may not go into circulation either. I keep...
I agree with gem. The m/m looks to be the same punch maybe in a slightly different position, but the same never the less. He has told us that...

hobo, the dealer that I work for doesn't price his coins according to any % mark-up. He sells the coin for a fair price for what it is regardless...

I am torn with these issues, Darryl. It just gives me a bad feeling. In the past I have bought multiples of the Mint sets, Proof Sets and Silver...
According to the latest Coin World (August 10,2009), The US Mint has produced more 2009-D Jefferson Nickels. They have stated that they minted...
