Most of the pre-'69 Yens are tough in AU and higher. The '64 and '65 are a little easier and the later dates than these can be found in AU. As...
Thanks for the picture. The bottom loop of the 8 is certainly interesting but I don't think it's a DDO. I doubt an expert would disagree that...
If it ever gets as popular as the small date it would probably be worth 20 or $30. The small date is represented in about 10.1% of mint sets and...
I doubt it but a clearer picture of the "8" might change my mind.
It appears the rims might have been filed a little as well. It's hard to tell on a coin so worn though.
Now that you mention it I think I have a couple of the '48 50 f. I don't have a lot of the Hungarian post war coins but I got lucky many years...
It's not a good idea to buy coins for profit. But this never stopped me and it never stopped profiting.
This is a common belief but it's not true. The coins are "common" only because there is no demand. Frankly I don't find the Hungarian aluminum...
A lot of these are originally damaged in equipment and machines. Car crushers are a very common source. Only those which are repaired will...
It was damaged and then repaired. Rather than take a loss on these by tossing them in the trash some people will give them a few well directed...
Cleaning is an art and requires a great deal of experience and practice. I could provide some of the basics but it would be inappropriate in...
I wouldn't buy any coin for an investment. But If I were going to regardless of sound advice you could do way worse than Soviet coins......
This will probably be the fate for AU's but it's entirely possible the Uncs will be underpriced early on. I think the Uncs will start stupid...
A BU 1971 quarter goes for $36 a roll wholesale. XF's are quite tough in circulation and anything in nice VF or better is worth putting in a...
I forgot or never knew this. If I remember right my only contact with the hobby in 1974 were intermittent issues of COINage. All I knew was they...
Wow! I'm a big fan of anecdotal evidence, even second hand. I hope you're right. I'd rather nice specimens not be too hard to find. The mint...
I'm figuring most of the production will be Gems. Then being in the tops of the bags assure they'll stay Gem right into the hoppers at the...
I didn't like it much. I sure didn't hate it but it seemed a little staid and plain to me. It did grow on me over the years and now I do like...
There is a RPM for the date but I don't believe this coin is it. There would be a raised line poking up from the middle of the "D".
Wow!!! I thought it was 10 million of each rather than 2 million. I hope I can find one before it's worn down to XF.
