That's the thing. SMS cents never have good contrast even on cameos. That yours has enough to photograph at all bodes well for it. It also...
Wow!! Quite a set. That cent looks like it might be a real score. It is hard to tell from a picture and this goes double for SMS cents.
Nice attractive '69 and '71 dates are tough in F and better. The '82-P that is well struck by good dies is a keeper in VF. Other older coins in...
Thanks for the report. I made this show only once, 1989 I think. If I remember right it was in August though?
I got a bunch of these (1970- 1987) that have a total Krause value of $1500. If anyone wants them cheap, give me a PM.
I've seen this set before but it is not very common. I've seen only a couple and have no opinion on their quality and no knowledge of their...
Thanks. Somehow I had missed this.
The '77-D roll is by no means common but is a little more readily available than about one fourth of all dates. If it's an original bank wrapped...
A few are interesting in VF, some in XF, more in Unc, most in chBU, and almost all of them in Gem. The easiest way to determine the toughies is...
There is a little premium for these but you need 100's of them to be worth shipping. I'd just spend anything that isn't a variety or better than...
'91-P and D are both very tough. They came as fantastic Gems but they'll almost all have scratches.
These come very nice in mint sets though the Denver is tougher to find without marking and the Philly often has strike deficiencies. About 2% of...
Some original clad rolls are almost impossible even in typical condition. The best example of this is the '69-P quarter roll. There aren't any!!...
I agree there were many millions saved. But $10 was a great deal of money in those days and when there were no buyers at all by 1970 these got...
Only 15 years ago nice high end XF's of this date weren't hard to find. Lots of these had been set aside over the years since it's the oldest...
World moderns are still getting destroyed in huge numbers. It used to be a customer would walk into the coin shop to sell coins including a roll...
Finding nice attractive '82 and '83 issues is not easy. Some people are in a hurry to complete their sets and would rather pick something up on...
It has a very nice reverse though...
It appears to be a decent enough XF/ AU. It might bring a couple dollars on eBay but dimes get little enough circulation you can find a nicer...
Some great posts here. I always liked the '65 to '67 coinage because there is so much variety to it. They used numerous processes and...
