I'm sure you're right that a lotof the most desirable modernbs have not been slabbed. They haven't been slabbed because the market is in its...
Good attitude. It is what collectors do; collect. Some people just can't understand why others collect "common" coins.
I have experience in moderns and you don't. No one has more experience with 1982-P quarters and I'm telling you point blank that a true Gem that...
I agree with 66. It's very nice for a 66 with a nice even strike but the services count bag marks. Oddly enough it doesn't look like a mint...
This modern bashing as well and probably highly misleading. Foreigners have no experience with silver and gold in their pockets either. What...
This is modern bashing even if you hadn't done it before. You simply assume there is an "astronomical supply" that can't be absorbed even by an...
It's a shame there's no "hate post" button so I could hate my last post. I was feeling rather grumpy for other reasons some of them related to...
Sure!!! Of course you're right. All we have to do is keep chasing people out of the hobby by being so exclusionary. Tell all the newbies their...
A lot of mint sets are being destroyed now days. That one is close to being a keeper.
I think these might get more attention if there were a means of identifying the specific die that produced them. This would probably involve dies...
Indeed. And a "pound" of feathers has more weight (and mass) than a pound of gold. Put a pound of something light on one side of a balance...
It's simple enough. They'llbe redeemable somewhere for US dollars right up until they are devalued 50% then another 75% forever and ever....
This is exactly how I started as well. In those days (1957) every denomination was heavily picked over by collectors. This isn't true for any...
If you're searching pocket change buy folders to house a whole collection. Save the nicest coins you find to fill it and it will provide...
A lot of the Krause sets and singles are scarce and valuable now. Of course this doesn't apply to the high mintage coins for the main part.
With the staggeringly high attrition rate on zincs and people pulling coppers from circulation that day could come quite soon. But I do believe...
This doesn't make sense. The economy doesn't appear to be slowing and I've heard of no large effort to round to the nearest nickel. Maybe they...
The coin isn't often seen in MS-60 but is common enough it shouldn't list for $30 I believe. I do find it's fairly tough in nice choice and Gem...
I'm guessing it's a mint set coin. I'm also guessing it's got four nice steps. These do come full steps so it's entirely possible it's FS....
If experience is any guide none of these were BU circulation issues from 1962 to 1980. You're right. I misspoke. I was thinking of coins like...
Separate names with a comma.
