If investment is not the goal in this case, why would someone never open them? You could wrap up a brick or a lump of coal and never open it also.
The first coins in the thread are large dates. Post #4 small date is a Philly coin. What you are wrong about, your post reads as if one of those...
Understand the age of the thread, replying to the poster above me. If it's only going to be worth the silver value, it doesn't matter if you clean it.
Yes eventually one day they will be opened and most likely end up in a future Coin Star. When you take into account 20+ years of inflation, you...
Coins are tactile. There is pleasure in holding them and looking at them. If a guy wants to keep them in sealed paper tubes and closed bags and...
What does it weigh? That's usually very valuable information. If it's real, it's worth less than $300. Maybe $275. If there is a true doubled die,...
I realize people say: It's not always about money. (This hobby.) However, you are talking about coins. That' money and the values of these coins,...

I used to have one where the D was VERY far away from the normal placement. But as mentioned the MM was hand punched into the die and that one was...
We should be able to vote: Vomit, for certain posts.
I figured if they stopped printing it (which I am in favor of) I would have heard of it. This article was updated to June 2019, but I guess no...
I like the 22D as well as 1912/12D 1913/13D 1915D 1916S. Good stuff.
From the political link that will probably be deleted. "suggested that Tubman be bumped to the $2 bill, which is no longer printed." Has the $2...
I never said it was. I was just relating a common story told to coin buyers at flea markets.
Have you weighed your coin? If it weighs anywhere in ball park of 5.67g it's a quarter. It's almost never missing both sides of the clad layer....
