This is most unusual. I've not seen a '68 penny without carbon spots in many years in the mint set packaging. 95% of these are just terrible...
Look at enough mint sets and you'll see these delaminate. I think it's usually caused by exposure to acidic enviroments but am not sure. If you...
These sets are composed of four layers of plastic and the inner two contain plasticizer. This was especially bad on the '68 and '69 sets but...
Russian coinage was extremely lightly saved and the mint sets were widely dispersed and suffered very high attrition. Dealers often cut these...

This is pretty common on the '60-P but far more common on the '60-D.
It's not a rare one. Comparable telephone tokens generally go for a dollar or two. There are very few telephone token collectors so even...
This is a relatively common error like two Denver quarters in a '69 set. Someone might have an interest in it but don't expect a large premium.
His problems were insignificant compared to his potential. He'll be missed. RIP
I believe every single '68-S cent still in mint set packaging has carbon spots now. 95% of them are ugly from all the corrosion so you're very...
I'm mostly looking at quarters but I check everything that comes my way and do go through dime rolls sometimes. I'm looking for gem and...
The heavily worn ones can be worth a substantial premium if the wear appears to be natural. I've seen the '45 to '85 one before. There must...
If they were actually gem you'd be in good shape. They aren't.
If it's a sealed bag then it's probably a solid date BU bag. Somebody recently opened up a bag of 1977 Ikes and found a couple dozen in high...
Nice. This is a tough date and there are lots of others as well.
A "souvenir" would be a token representing a place. Since there is no such place as this or this token is not actually issued by such a place, it...
Are you sure it isn't just silver plated?
A lot of the Australian and New Zealand moderns are pretty tough in pristine condition but these two were both heavily saved because they were...
Ironically these countries you mention all have some legitimate coins that will do quite well in the long run. Collectors tend to focus...
There are several anomylous '81 mint marks and these can be difficult to differentiate if not in hand. These just have a lot of different...
