I see it as a low-end AU50, and the sale price would be "AU53/55 in a PCGS slab" territory. The buyer's remorse won't set in until the new owner...
Um, because there wouldn't be an S on it? San Francisco went to Proof-only on Dimes in 1968; all San Francisco strikes before that were...
It's only weird until you've seen a few hundred of them. :) This is what environmental conditions do to clad coins. You'll see every denomination...
This is a clash: [ATTACH] Even better, it's a Proof! [ATTACH] Sold for $446.50 at FUN. I'd have paid that for it in an instant....

I'm seeing (without spending a lot of time on research) a couple questionable authenticities, a *lot* of polished pieces (Circulation Cameo...
PVC isn't the problem. It's the phthalates - the plasticizers used to make PVC soft and flexible - that are the problem. Are these boxes soft and...
I hope that's not a "legit" numismatic forum....

It's either a die gouge or a strikethrough of something hard enough to dent the die. Does that meet the definition of "variety?"
Value is wholly dependent on condition and rarity. No two coins within the very generalized list you've given will be in any way related to the...
Well, the fact that he immediately responded, giving you his phone number to directly communicate about it, made my thinking journey along...
Separate names with a comma.
