it is also true that a rare raw coin is more valuable than a graded common coin as well. The slab does nothing for the value. One should also...
agreed, but the finish is the same as the bullion no matter what the Mint called them. You can't tell the difference except for the mint mark.
Unfortunately not true. in 2006-2008 the Mint offered Uncirculated finish SAEs with a W mint mark in addition to the bullion versions without a...
Doug, you eloquently make your points as always. Yes, I think you're weird, but that has nothing to do with this discussion. ;) While I...
Ripley, I have to ask you about that coin you pictured. The slab says 2007 -W without the W mintmark. That is worded like it's an error coin...
If it's the same, Merc, then why is it not with the dimes and half dimes in the Redbook? why are they listed before the regular issue United...
Doug, I always try to listen, understand and learn, but that makes me question things (and to your dismay at times I have demonstrated this)....
These are dictionary.com definitions of the word set: - a collection of articles designed for use together: a set of china; a chess set. -...
It's a $5, does that make a difference? (You said a lot of wear for a $2.50)
is that flat strike or wear? It looks like wear to me, but I have never graded the $5 Indians. If that's wear it's no better than XF-40 and maybe...
I personally thought "Dog Farts" deserved better than a 6 seed. LOL
I sit corrected. I was looking at the Disme mintages and values, not the Half Disme. Both coins make my point as they are not part of any set,...
I disagree with your premise, Doug. There are several coins that have value, low mintage and don't belong to any set. For example: 1792 Half...
You've never seen a circulated proof coin, Mike?
hey guys, I know that you all like the brackets and playing them. One of the local radio stations here in Chicago runs a yearly "tournament of...
hardened? I guess I didn't read closely enough, but I didn't know that these rings were hardened
an opportunity to make money on the coin as well exists once you get that 65 FBL slab. Mecha makes a good point that the wise buy the coin not the...
forget the color, that is a fabulous strike for a 49-D!!! The color is also awesome, but you don't see 49-Ds struck like that one every day!
no and no. This coin has neither the mint mark nor the diagnostics of a 42/41-D
good point, I did neglect the difference in composition
