I dismantle most of these sets and stabilize the coins in acetone and then store them properly. Usually you can get the coins back in the...
I've long believed the potential for these sets is simply incredible. Some are very highly desirable and mintages are under 10,000. But I've...
Do you ever see any of the old coins from the 1950's through 1970's? I'm told that much of this stuff wasn't saved in unc and after all these...
Krause doesn't even seem to be trying to keep up with later date coins any more. Some of the modern Indian coinage is virtually unavailable...
I think we have a winner.
Well, I believe all 1967 half dollars were a actually made in Denver or San Francisco. Philly was cranking out dimes and quarters and San...
The S mint are proofs made in both the silver or the regular cu/ ni clad. You'll probably have to look to the secondary market for most of...
There are nearly 40 billion quarters in circulation. The issuers rotate these out of storage so that they mostly wear pretty evenly. About...
Perhaps the solution is to go with FM (Full Memorial). This would make every date a little bit tougher and some very tough. Even a lot of the...
Part of the problem is that FS on Lincolns can be quite common for many of the dates so it loses most of its meaning. Actually they could...
The odds of it being authentic are remote at best. There exist only a small handfull of real such pieces and only a few of each. These...
A lot of the old Indian coins appear to be almost impossible to find in unc. Apparently no one cares though. Prices are low on all of them....
The "WE" in the coin on the left is almost equidistant between the rim and the bust. On the right it's closer to the rim. The bust appears a...
Sure. They have to be uncirculated though. I'd be interested in any updates if you can find some. Just looking pretty new isn't good enough....
It may be no consolation but the chances of there having been anything that would be valuable today in that lot aren't high. You could have had a...
Most people just have no conception how tough Ikes are in high grade or even in just nice condition. Sure, a '77 or a '78-D in near gem isn't too...
Pictures can't hurt. I'm not sure what you mean by "shrunken in". The rest of it sounds like damage.
One of the more interesting things about these modern sets is that they often represent the sole surviving population of the coins they contain in...
MS-60's are far scarcer than a '31-S Lincoln in unc. The reason prices on the modern coins is low is because demand is low. There are...
The ironic thing about it is that more rolls than usual were saved. It's just that almost all the moderns come from mint sets so the extra rolls...
