Like Eddiespin said, there isn't much market value, but they are too nice to spend. I would still keep them. It's only 40 cents. You can always...
Not my area of expertise, but it looks like a cast copy of a 15th-16 century Spanish coin. Ferdinand and Isabella maybe??
I tried a couple diff flat staplers about 25 years ago and was not impressed. Maybe time to try again. I know club members who swear by this,...
When you play the MS70 game, you're basically betting that you can get enough coins slabbed at 70 to make a worthwhile return on your investment...
Baseball offers good advice. After you staple the 2x2, crimp the staples with a pliers. I've been ding this for 30 years. Buy a chap pair of...
I am guessing that you are searching for the rare 1990 no "S" proof cent. First of all, your coin doesn't look like it's a proof. One thing to...
