It was the spring/ summer of 1969. Silver was disappearing sporatically and continually as the price increased and often got above face in the...
When governments debase the coinage they'll usually melt the old coins on hand but usually old coins on hand are a small fraction of all surviving...
This is the fastest way to hook a new collector.
I would strongly disrecommend the Redbook to anyone only interested in collecting moderns. The prices are highly misleading and will probably...
Thanks. Most classic collectors just aren't used to having to wade through so much chaffe to find a little wheat.
Hey! Some of his Lincolns surprise me. It's surprising enough to see spectacular Gems but then he also posts pictures of things I've never...
If that's not a rim ding on the Tunisian coin then it's a keeper.
A lot of the coins in these sets are virtually unavailable from any other source. The FM spared no expense in assembling them and charged...
I love most of the mint products but I almost never buy them from the mint. Just wait a few years and buy them on the aftermarket. They will not...
They're importing our jobs and our wealth. According to at least one Chinese official the problem with the US is that it imports too much...
If the Chinese wanted US coins they'd just make their own. Like they already do. They even make waffled half dollars to sell the a very...

Of course, except in the very highest grades all the memorials are "common". But there are several dates that are acrtually quite elusive in just...
It may be old news but then how long is it going to take before people realize a lot of the memorials are scarce in nice condition? Maybe after...
Cu/ ni is a lot harder. But the reason they wear so much better is largely that the metalis lighter so it has less momentum when it collides or...
1966 dimes were supposed to have as much relief as the silvers but few of them did because they weren't fully struck up and dies were heavily worn...
That's one ugly dime. Ya shouldda sawed the 1966 dimes when they were new. Lots of them had even less detail than this one.
I've never done the math but I'd guess you're fairly close. Maybe just a little low. There is a difference between the coasts for nickels and...
I've got to believe you'll be glad you did in time. Collectors always do lots better financialkly than investors because collectors know which...
Old coins often have value in even poor grades. Modern coins sometimes have a lot of value in low grades but not typically. Moderns were poorly...
