Hold it..... $1,000 face value is what....4,000 quarters, right ? Each has...what....1/4 oz. or a bit less of silver ? So that would mean...
Yes, that might be possible.....hate dragging that all over to shows and LCSs, so maybe best to catalog it and see who has interest. Thanks !
I don't have a complete bag, mostly stuff from parents/grandparents.....a couple of those brownish/red rolls of quarters with a silvery feel. I...
Morgan's have collector/numismatic value, too, just that you are paying a much larger premium for them relative to the content. I "play" with...
My Newest Pal: an 1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar....MS-66 and CAC, too ! :D Some of the Morgan experts here have suggested going for a somewhat...
Thanks JP.....I'm really not seeing the strike weakness, what should I be looking at compared to maybe my 1884-CC ? BTW, beautiful coin, yes !

Jaelus, so you are talking about PF and DMPL and other coins like that early in a dies usage ?
I agree with your point but in this case the "inflation" at least has something visible. We can debate whether or not twin MSDs that are exactly...
Touche.....:D But seriously, you're not saying that we're going to keep seeing gradeflation ad infinitum are you ? Let me use the Saint Gaudens...
OK, so they're grading on a curve, so to speak. Ah, the curve...you never thought it would happen to you (fans of "The Wonder Years" TV show...
But toning is a unique thing -- and one I don't like -- that some people not only like but chase exclusively. So the TPGs are now incorporating...
I see your point here. Me personally....I don't like toned coins. To me, their blotches and blemishes. Maybe I'd like 1 or 2 rainbow toned...
