I'm a big fan of nice attractive 1969 quarters. They don't even have to be Gem, just something that's nice enough someone might want it in a...
Boy, these come just horrible. If you can find a Gem it's worth a lot of money. Some of the varieties have value as well.
Well preserved older clads tend to turn a golden color. Usually it's a very attractive gold and sometimes not. The newer clad seems to have more...
I don't think I ever knew that but forgot if I did. Thanks.
It's typical for these sets to have damage and the Krause price does reflect almost pristine coins. Modern collectors primarily are seeking coins...
Holy smokes those are some really tough sets. These coins were among the first moderns that were recognized to be scarce in nice condition....
'76- $60. '78- $60. '82- $55. per Krause. I believe the '76 and '78 might be undervalued a little.
These were hard to find before the states coins came out in '99. Only about one coin in 400 was a '76. Since '99 the incidence is soaring...
Collectors need to exercise common sense and do due diligence. Just looking at a couple dozen '01 proof sets will disclose that this coin is not...
Get rid of the dollar bill and the vaults will empty like magic. Banks will be forced to actually distribute the coins so they can be used.
Good luck. The hobby will be waiting for you when you return.
I love silver coins and silver but these are strange times when most of the exception value is in cu/ ni and other base metal coins. As a coin...
There is one thing I might add that's not widely known. In 1976 the mint came to believe at the last second that they were required to produce 14...
Great thread! I'm not sure what I can add to it except that Ikes are really a great collectible and grossly underrated. Gems are pretty...
There's no question average quality for 1965 was lowest. I'm not so sure this applies to the finest quality or their incidence however.
The old catalog lists these at 50c except the last one is 35c and the first is $2. Usually 50c tokens are fairly scarce and can bring anywhere...
There were a lot of strange things going on in those days. It just wasn't unusual to see coins that appeared to be struck by proof reverse dies.
Almost all moderns have a few PL's made each year. They can be exceedingly scarce and some are not very PL. They are far more common in mint...
You might try finding the "common" Gems in the raw. About 2% of dates like the '76-D and the '77 and '78 issues can be found in the mint sets as...
Wow!! There are some really great coins there. The '84-D appears to be a type "d" so it's not from a mint set.
