OK, I'll try this again. The rotated die coin census calls this a rarity 7 (4-12 known). It comes with a 180 degree rotation so this is...
These are retailing for $1,500 now. There are dealers paying over $1,000. If you can find a nice roll with nice choice coins it might go for...
Rolls are hard to find but sell for only about $30 each or less. Arlan Kramer runs ads in the back of the coin papers and supplies good quality....
There are '65, '67, '70-D, '76-D, and '81-P DDO's. These are easy to see and most are quite rare. The PUP (pickup point) for the '81 is the...
Quarters are my favorite for searching for just the reason you say: These coins wear hard. This means that the older coins in nice condition...
Most dealers do bust them up and a lot of proof and mint sets have been destroyed this way. The big dealers will sometimes bust 1,000's of a...
It's mostly the big dealers who bust up sets like this because it's not extremely profitable. It is more profitable for these dealers because...
It may be sneaky but if you think about it, the mint gains nothing from it unless collectors find it interesting. Indeed, all the extra work to...
Good luck, though it doesn't sound like you'll need it.
There are lots of proofs in circulation. These are encountered quite regularly. If you pay attention to the differences between the price of...
This sounds like a safe bet except their production limit could be well under the demand. These are massive sets and apparently are a little...
There are several things that can cause each of the conditions you describe but the most likely candidate for the wet feeling is a mercury...
There are quite a few pretty good clad Roosys. The most valuable would be the '82-NMM and this one does show up with some small regularity....
Depending on date and denomination about 2% to 10% of proof singles are culls. If someone is cracking sets to sell rolls then the culls can not...
Mint sets have a very high attrition and this is especially true for those ordered early in the year. Many people buy these just to cut them up...
Some date mint sets have a lot more errors than others. More than 1% of 1969 mint sets have a Denver quarter in the Philly slot and no P...
If you like these coins then it might be a great "investment" to buy the coins in NGC or PCGS holders so that you can be a little more sure of...
Ultimately the value of your set will be the combined value of all the coins in the set. In the mean time it's entirely possible that there...
One factor might be that both mints of the keelboat coins were very poorly made. Many people looked through roll after roll to find a nice...
Yes, it's true. The top of the type II just appears to be "flying away" to me.
