Uncirculated means not worn. It is synonymous with Mint State, although Mint State is more descriptive of the coin's condition.
I quite like these to deepen my prime number set. [img] [img]
This showed up in the mail today. :) It's for my $5 Liberty mint mark set. [IMG]
BE does look too strong.
Nothing screams "counterfeit" to me, but one always must wonder why certain coins aren't in TPG plastic, especially this one. In addition to the...
I'd start by poking it with a stick. Some of that green gunk might pop off the coin with a rose thorn. Once you finish your medical experiments,...
I'll bet it is. Got an extra sample of theirs you can bust up?
Unrinsed dip residue caused the coin to spot. Those aren't coming off. Pass.
Very. Many VAM collectors try to do this, especially when the late die states show dramatic trauma rather than more graceful aging, but the best...
I assume you can see the edge from the edge of the coin on all of them. I don't know if the C&C sets have special holders so that you can see it...
Here's what I meant above. A solid, acrylic ring around the coin, mirrored on the left and lower faces. The edge inscription reflects of the...
The Mint screwed the pooch on packaging this one. They should have made a capsule with the outer part shaped like a pentaprism surrounding the...
That's not a flashlight, that's a Myddetlon token (and a beastly one to photo -- I tried).
Yes. I was just surprised at how many silver years there were compared with silver-free years.
This may or may not be surprising, but there are more years with silver Kennedy proofs than without. Only 1971-74, 1977-91 don't have silver...
The back's really nice. The front is nice, but not like the back. No PL. Looks like 64-65 territory from the pictures. The grade on the holder...
I think the greater lesson is to know the size of the market for the coins you collect, and how that affects their liquidity.
In order to be valuable, the coins have to be high grade uncirculated. Circulated 82 and 83 quarters are worth face value. Post a picture if you...
I have two copies of the 4th edition of Guide Book of Morgan Dollars and one of the grading standards. All are new. $10 each shipped within the US.
If you like Morgan Dollars, pick up the Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars. Lots of good information in there. Not an expensive book. It's...
