for as long as I worked in retail and all of the odd finds I had, I too have never found a proof coin in circulation. I did once find an S-minted...
Personally, were I to evaluate the coin to buy it, I would be a bit conservative and grade it as F-15 and at the upper end of that grade. If you...
oddly, these are D mint nickels. None of which have shown up in circulation to this point.
eventually dan, yes. Even the "rare" silver dollars of the early 1900s eventually came to light when the government cleared out the stockpiles in...
Awesome coin, Charmy!! I haven't ever seen one in-hand, but those pics take me pretty close!
I think that this will cement the fractional buffaloes as coins in high demand. They will never be common, and people love this design.
well, truthfully, an additional 7.4 million coins takes a 24M mintage and makes it a 31M mintage. Relatively, the number hasn't changed very much...
hobo, the dealer that I work for doesn't price his coins according to any % mark-up. He sells the coin for a fair price for what it is regardless...
Not a fair question as the last coin I purchased was a G/VG 1921-D Walker and I bought it for $230, only $10 over what the dealer paid for it only...

I am torn with these issues, Darryl. It just gives me a bad feeling. In the past I have bought multiples of the Mint sets, Proof Sets and Silver...
According to the latest Coin World (August 10,2009), The US Mint has produced more 2009-D Jefferson Nickels. They have stated that they minted...
that's because it isn't the clad composition that you're used to seeing. This coin is a 40% silver clad. The outside layer is silver bonded to a...
A coin is a proof coin or a business strike coin whether worn or otherwise. The reason you see a grade of PF68 for example is that the grader...
My initial reaction is this: Look at the 1938 D and S, the 1939 D and S, (especially the 39-D), and IMHO I would also look at the 1942-D. These...
Technical Grading Service??? Is their motto "We don't market grade coins!"?
You know what just struck me, Doug? It's funny, but where the grading sets are lacking is likely in the key dates, hence the overgrading. Maybe...
Isn't that an awful lot of coins, Doug? To have one of everything in every grade?
The only thing that bothers me about this year's set Dan is the fact that there is the potential on the part of the US Mint to flood the market...
It's called Marketing and that's the Mint's job, sorry!
