Nice coin. Any capped bust quarter without major problems is a tough coin. Its hard for people nowadays to understand that the quarter was not a...
I would think deflationary, since the FDIC would likely need to increase insurance fees charged to banks if they had a major incident. This would...
I just think he's cheating. :) 69 to 70 is not so bad, (just look for a tiny blemish). Much harder, (at least to me), would be 68 to 69, or 67...
I have only ever used the "report post" icon to call attention to swearing, threats, or spam on posts. Getting in internet yelling matches is...
Brutal. I do have a few other sources if someone is looking for this I could check. I bought mine for I believe $40.
Well maybe when you post, "discussion above" you may link to the post you are referring to, and not post such a message directly beneath postings...
Actually, after thinking about it, I am not too surprised. Think about it, even if we assume the same amount of collectors today as 20 years ago,...

I was referencing Paul's post, and in it in the first paragraph he used "64.9 vs 65.1". That is why I used that. I understand your point about...
This was a plastic stencil like you see at craft stores. It had every year, and he got another for letters. You lined up the year under the hole,...
My main comments Paul is you are correct of course there are high and low end within a grade. However, trying to say there are people who can...
Maybe they went out of business since their customers "hadn't bought anything from them in a while". ;)
