The mint makes billions of pennies every year so all coins have to be made on very high speed presses. The dies move so fast they simply don't...
There was a great deal of congressional work on the transition to clad coinage. The vending industry had a great deal of pull in the decisions as...
#1 looks best but is MS-65+ not FS. #2 looks FS but is low end MS-65 or MS-64. FS is common on '71-D so does not warrant submission...
It's a very common date that's tough in high end VF. The green might come off with olive oil but the coin seems almost fully priced even with the...
Spectacular reverse! These come a little cleaner but hardly better made. I think it would go MS-66 but 67 is possible. Was it a widely sold...
Yes, but Hamilton Bank is Missouri so there won't be any.
They are all "good" rolls but nothing terribly special other than the '82-P quarter roll. This roll is only a $235 roll but the buyer sees the...

The coins on that invoice now total $1615. That's what dealers pay. Don't expect that at your corner coin shop though since they might tell...
Indeed!!! '82-P quarters often go for far more than Redbook on eBay. Dealer wholesale on the '83-P roll is $550.
I'm still amazed this scam went on so long. The coins in cars reflect the coins in circulation except there are higher chances for smaller coins...
I tend to call pre-'75 one cent coins "cents", and post-74 coins "pennies". But in recent years I often call the new coins "toxic little slugs"...
I probably have even lower but my favorite is a Haitian 100 G silver 1977 Statue of Liberty in Proof; mintage- 214 pcs. Lowest mintage regular...
First the good news. Those new photos look more representative and the coin really is special. Now the bad news. I believe it is too rough to...
The coin has had its rims removed with a knife. It could be a file but the unevenness implies a blade.
Arizona Coin Exchange is paying $2 for AU '82-D quarters and this is a nice example. It would bring a few dollars on eBay. It is also the...
Collectors have preferentially saved S mint coins for decades now.
Wow! You just found a nice roll.
Mint set packaging is four layers and the layers touching the coins is soft "plastic". The coins will tarnish if left in this packaging. After...
A substantial premium has arisen and disappeared on AU walkers over the years. It exists now but few are paying it. There has been a small...
