I look at all my change and get ten or twenty rolls of quarters to look though per month.
Do you ever/ always sign your work or date it? Very interesting and a nice finished piece.
There are multiple possibilities. The most likely is that the cladding is not well bonded on a small area. The second most likely is that there...
No one imagined any circulation issues could be desirable but it was this attitude which led to the scarcity of 1983 quarters in unc. They still...
While cost is important, it's also important to go with something you really like and that interests you. You can collect circulated or unc...
If you're collecting then it's best to buy which ever you prefer whether it's one, both, or neither. If you're concerned with resale value...
I confess I haven't been looking at many rolls in recent years but the people who do are telling me that there is no real difference between the...
I'm 100% collector but I'm also a speculator/ promoter. I collect a little bit of everything and speculate in moderns.
It's not an '86. From these new images I'm about 90% confident it's an '85-P. The '87 has a slightly different curve to the point of the...
There is an '83 with two cuds that is very similar to this but it can't be that die. With a better picture I should be able to tell, but from...

Small round disks of metal are punched from a large flat strip of metal in the blanking press. These are often referred to as type 1 planchets....
I have seen pictures of these and your explanation seems consistent. Can you account for why it appears to be struck unusually hard or is...
If you're looking for prices than Coin Values is simply a necessity. Indeed, most collectors should probably review this once in a while even if...
I'm having a very difficult time trying to find a source for dime rolls.
Well, you won't find anything new in it. ;) There were some pretty good quarters in circulation twenty years ago. It would make a great...
Thank you very much. ...But, yikes!! I try to avoid giving any sort of advice except to ignore most advice. This goes double when it comes...
They did make 6 proof coins at the Philly mint without a mint mark but it's unlikely this is one of them. Thousands of P and D mint coins have...
There really aren't any hordes of '96-W dimes. Thereare probably a few accumulations of up to 1,000 pieces but this isn't like the '50-D nickel...
