Thanks for all the info. Modern coins are underappreciated everywhere but maybe I'll have to be crossing South Korea and India off the list in...
Thanks for the thread. Is the 500 won really as common as its price would suggest. Did these circulate at all?
I'm more concerned about the misleading prices they publish for moderns. '82-P quarters routinely bring $40 on eBay when they are nice attractive...
The nickels won't really be "readily" available until the cost of the set comes down to the total value of the coins in the set. A lot of coins...
There aren't any other years that are hard to find but there are plenty that are hard to find in nice condition. Most of the '69 and '71 issues...
Redbook grossly understates the value of moderns. Bluebook doesn't even list most moderns in the grades they are typically collected. You'll be...
There are lots of pretty quarters in this thread and this certainly includes a lot of the clads. That '77 is one of them. They come cleaner but...
Welcome aboard. I enjoy Kennedys quite a bit.
The US market for world coins used to dwarf all the other markets put together but they are catching up. Indeed, I suspect that for modern world...
A Gem frosted '66 half dollar has real value and a real market. There are hundreds of collectors and only dozens of specimens. But the corner...
The thing's kindda a mess. I suspect it's what is typically called a die adjustment piece. Most of these are produced from a press coasting to a...
You're right, I misspoke. Five and six steps get easier in '71 but the standard changes later.
I agree. I have seen good deals as well.
1970 and earlier five steps are required for FS. After this it takes six steps because the hubs were redone and many more dies made FS.
I have a lot of respect for Rick Tomaska and have spoken to him. He knows a lot about coins and is very sharp. He's always had a reputation for...
The mid to late '60' and 1970 are the toughest with FS. 1971 is easy and after this the requirements for FS goes up because there would be too...
Those are very nice clad quarters. From the pictures I'd guess the most likely three are the '78, 2nd '82-P, and the '83-D. All of them look...
I've got a set of 322 different amusement tokens I'll sell for $120. Then you might as well take about 4 lbs of pretty nice mixed amusement...
I wouldn't worry too much unless you plan to sell old coins in the next ten years or so. Old coins are great and are often scarce or historic and...
The same thing appears to be going on with moderns from all over the world. Krause lists them at junk prices but they go for big bucks in the...
