I assume you're talking about CENTS, not pennies. If so, then I further assume you're talking about the change in composition in 1982. If so,...
IMO once you crack them out the grade labels are essentially worthless except for your own personal reference.
First, what grades are you considering? Or a slightly different question. What is the minimum grade that you would find acceptable? If the...
Because the one in the original packaging could be a PF70.
I got out of coin collecting during the silver spike of 1980. I didn't return until after the spike of 1990. I didn't even pay attention to...
I sort of avoid the situation in two ways: 1. I'm an ANA member so I can submit to NGC without having to join. Still have to pay the...
Here's how I look at it. You are buying the coin. The grade pertains to the coin only. Yes, a scratched slab is annoying, and from what I can...
It looks like it's been cleaned. PCGS will only slab it as "Genuine" at best :D Yes, I have. On the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska....

For a seller to intentionally lie about the mintmark is courting trouble in the form of negative feedback. Most likely they just don't know any...
I only vaguely remember meeting him. I was very young. But I have his flight log and through my mother I got somemore of the story. He flew a...
There are several important factors in valuing war medals. Medals for heroism command a higher price (not a consideration with the one you...
Is that a true representation of the obverse and reverse of the same coin!? If so, it looks like the obverse either: - got photoshopped. - was...
I was looking at my raw Unc Jefferson Set in preparation for scanning all the coins (I don't use a camera on stuff like that). My last coin in...
I won't be going. I blew my budget at the last show I went to so I have to sit around waiting for it to refill. But MFD will be there, probably...
Separate names with a comma.
