Yep Joe, you've definately been thinking too much. lol But, I guess for your "type set" of coins with rays, you'd have to have a Shield nickel,...
Thanks for the tip, Susan. That's another one I can add to my blocked seller list. LINK
Absolutely stunning, GD. Beautiful set. Love the way you have them displayed. You just made my day. :)
No doubt about that, Penny. I have many examples in the grade range you mentioned. They are definately highlights in my collection. One...
It might change the weight. Depends on how thick the plating is. All coins don't weigh exactly the same to begin with. Highly polished coins...
Here's what an original, unaltered, uncirculated 1878-S recently sold for. LINK You really shouldn't try to assign a grade to a coin that...
Hi susan, What are the dark specks and the dark splotches under the mobcap? You will want to mention the rim dings in the auction.

I can promise you, it will be one of the best buys you've ever made. You won't regret it.
guy, There are many ways to collect Lincolns. A year set is one coin from 1909-present, regardless of mintmarks. A date/MM set is one...

Welcome, It's a little hard to say for sure what you have. If you could post some good clear pictures, it might make it easier for the folks to...
We must be. A friend of mine saw me purchasing some Mercury dimes at a flea market a while back. He said; "Hey dude, what're ya doin'? Buyin'...
Way to go, David! :cool:
The "real price" is what you paid for it, right? One thing will always stand true. The value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for...
