Np, but hopefully you will get better answers than my simple one. Tom B and many others here are the real experts on that issue. I just wanted to...
In my experience, they are much further off, (and usually higher), than a greysheet. Honestly, I never use any price list for US coins other than...
Lol, you are telling me to study coins? Sir, I do not believe you understand how long I have done so, and how many publications I own that enables...
All I can say sir is KNOWLEDGE. You have to do your own research, educate yourself on the market, and determine this yourself. There is no easy...
"Hon", the pricing of copper and nickel coins versus silver and gold has to do with RARITY. Look up a US mintage chart some time and see how many...
