The simple fact is most mint and proof sets are worth far more dead than alive. There just isn't much demand for intact sets but there is a...
My guess is they go through hundreds of sets at a time and pull out all the sets with a very nice cherry coin and varieties. This will be about...
You can probably get 10,000 BU 1977 Ikes without disturbing the market too much. It would be harder than you think but it can be done.
The '76-P tI Ike from the 1975 mint set, rolls, and bags wholesales at $80/ roll. I'm sure you can get much more for nice choice rolls whether...
Here's half your problem. You don't seem to be aware that as these sets flow onto the market they have been destroyed for half a century now....
You're missing the points. The coins aren't available and for the main part the sets are gone. There is only one way for moderns to survive and...
OK. I understand your point now but I believe you are mistaken. Indeed, my experience and knowledge say you are mistaken. These coins simply...
This is the great thing about all moderns; you can collect them even in Gem condition on a shoestring and they are challenging enough to be fun....
Most of your numbers look pretty plausible but the idea of being able to pick up 25,000 1973 mint sets is not. The kind of interest necessary toi...
Some of the Kennedy's are just as tough as the Ikes. Try finding nicely made and well preserved '82-P's for example. But almost all of them are...
I really don't know where you can acquire quantities of Ike even approaching these levels. Some of these dates do exist in bag quantities but...
I don't really disagree with your post but it can leave some with the wrong impression. If you wanted to put together 10,000 1878-S or 1904-O...
There's a tremendous aray of "stuff out there". You might consider an untapped field like municipal trade tokens. These are actually cataloged...
One hearstell but I'm doubtful there are any BU bags in storage. The mint has used FIFO accounting since 1972 that mandates that stocks are...
This isn't true. They can be sold as bid but buyers expect them to be all nice BU's in sellable condition. Many coins straight from mint sets...
I wouldn't suggest holding onto circulated examples unless they are varieties but right now the market for clad half dollars is actually pretty...
Indeed! :cigar: Mostly though I save the Gems and varieties when I can find them. My favorites are specimens with a clean shield on the reverse.
I wouldn't rule out 67 based on the first photos but it is solid 66 in my opinion. Any other date 67 would be a shoe-in but this date comes so...
Nice coin but this date comes nice. It looks like a solid 66 to me. I prefer them without the distractions around the edge near the rim but...
Wild guess; MS-67 but no PL. Most of these have little scratches but this one seems to hae only the planchet marking. Many of them are very...
