I'm always VERY suspecious when I see a fairly rare coin of apparent gem grade unslabbed. There's usually a reason and more often and than not...
Well, well....IMO, somebody is going to over-pay for that coin. Indeed it is well struck, but the dies were sharpened in 1915 and some detail was...
Jack is dead-on correct here and his quoted price on the 63 is about the max you could expect from a dealer.
If you're ready to drop that much money on a coin....BUY IT IN PERSON! No matter what, buy it from a reputible dealer. The main place I deal with...
I'm seeing a bit more copper of late. I think a lot of people are emptying the jars with the bad economy. I'm also finding more 80's AU/BU red...
Me too coop. I save all nice AU/BU cents I find while searching. I almost have a complete roll set from 1980 to 2008 by doing this. I'm pretty...
Why not the 82 coppers? I find loads of them....I too hoard copper cents. I'd venture to say the majority of my coppers are actually 82's.
The reverse change is NOW, in 2009. No more Memorial cents will ever be produced, 2008 was the last year for them.

I ordered them on the release date at 1:00 and they were backordered.
Exactly, why would the mint make a billion of the type 1 09's if banks still have boxes of new 07's and 08's lying around? ....not to mention the...
I've never liked albums for proofs. Too much air can get to them for my tastes. I put all my proofs in Airtites. If you must use an album, put it...
Oh well, it's the lowest mintage Lincoln cent since the 1955-S. To me the price doesn't matter, I would have even paid more to have them in my...
Jez, what a moron! DUH!
A fun little woody! What do you think about the grade?
Yes, it will neutralize the acidic protons and it will form sodium acetate but you WILL still have free acetate radicals in solution. So,...
Not really, it means the coin exhibts no signs of wear. I've pulled quite a few MS coins out of circulation.
