There's a 76-D with a nice doubled obverse (FS-101) that's a keeper, even circulated.
Disagree here. While albums indeed are not great archival storage options, I don't think they're the worst thing. PVC flips and mint (not...
I'll be there Thursday afternoon through Saturday. Friday at 3:45 is VAM Thing XVI. All are invited. There'll be door prizes.
How big you want the groups depends on the value you want per group, and how valuable the base metal coins really are. Base metal foreign stuff...
I only take surveys when I'm compensated for my time.
Yeah, either black, like the old ones they made were, or white. The green insert was not the best choice.
They're locally made (meaning near Sidney, OH), but I can't remember the manufacturer. I have a case of them that I can look at later and find out.
Postage costs will make this difficult, especially if they're low-value ($5 and under) coins. If you can make $20 lots and sell them as such,...
I imagine the plastic is rather low-grade and the shells are brittle. I prefer the PCGS-shaped ones from Amos Hobby in Ohio. They cost a little...
45 was a gift, but realistically, there's very little, if any, price difference between a VF35 and an XF45 for the VAM 1B6.
There was a thread a while back on the PCGS boards where I mentioned seeing coins with both strike doubling and repunched mint marks. This one on...
It will not be possible to confirm an overdate on that coin. The date position might be usable to rule it out, but it's too far gone otherwise.
Hmm... the lower one does look like a possible match. Yours seems to be an earlier die state than what's pictured there (which is a LDS coin)....
Hard to say, but probably not. There's only one 81-D RPM listed on VarietyVista, and yours doesn't match.
Some sort of chemical damage.
Put me down for 35. Not enough spaghetti left of the head for me to say 40, and there's a good amount of wear on the reverse on the eagle's right...
A big part of their setup is raw coins.
If you're interested in US coins, get Roger Burdette's book From Mine to Mint. This covers all the die making technologies that were adopted over...
There could be an injunction against the consignor selling the coins, forcing them to be withdrawn.
I visited the Staatliche Münzsammlung München today. Nice exhibit of medieval and earlier coinage, as well as medals into the early 20th century....
