Well... ...This is sort of true because of the vast numbers of coins in circulation and the relative difficulty in finding the few that have...
After my experience yesterday I'm not nearly so confident that the '73 reverse exists on the '74. Of course, these were just a couple rolls so...
Well, it took a while to find enough examples of the '73 and '74 reverses to make a good sample but I'm not sure what I was looking at when I...
Shoot. Let me get back to you on this. I have only one specimen of each at hand and one appears to be non-standard (poorly struck). It...
The die shop would have been pretty busy in 1974 ramping up production and working on new dies and die changes for the steel, aluminum and bronze...
The difference between the '73 and '74 reverse is very subtle and will appeal only to a specialist. On the '74 there are a series of little...
May I suggest getting a $2 folder and filling it with one of each date and Mint Mark. You'll soon know what to expect and see things that stand out.
If the coin is really BU as it appears then it's a $9 coin and very much worth saving. It's relatively common to the other coins of the series so...
I've long thought the old silver quarters would do extremely well from an influx of many collectors of the states issues. Modern collectors tend...
Yes. It is typically demand that wakes up a sleeper whether the demand is from collectors or speculators. But this demand can build up for quite...
Four fold increases in a year are pretty tame by the standards of moderns where even the rarest coins can be priced for a dollar or two. The...
The 2013 Krause lists it at $20 in Unc and $5 in XF. The 1966 issues are listed at $5 as well. Many of the Romanian moderns are up substantially...
They wholesale about $1.25 now. If you can get them at this price or less it's a steal. I believe someday there won't be such a big discount...
Indeed! And when they are seen they are typically in F to low XF condition. Krause used to not even list prices for Uncs since most are so...
These are all common in circulated condition. I do like the cu-ni in Unc and it's not uncommon but it is underpriced.
Each collectors has his own idea of what a coin should look like. If a coin was "marred" in some way from the ideal he was less likely to want it...
Nice specimen! Believe it or not this is only a little better than most of the smalldate cents used to be in the mint sets. But nice ones have...
Believe it or not few collectors were much concerned with quality of uncirculated coins before 1978. Any collector worth his salt would always...
The Algerian 100 F and other denominations were all made in substantial numbers; more than 21,000,000 for the 100 F alone. The reason they're...
If anyone deserves the best of luck it is you. With 120,000 people you should have a very good chance. Do you plan at this point to have...
