The 80% sounds like a line, that he had no intention of honoring, just to get him interested. A real dealer doesn't take a photo of himself in his...
It's a little heavy. The scale could be off, or, the coin could be slightly thicker and heavier than normal. If you weigh a number of copper cents...
The quarter and nickel look like proofs. Is it a mint set or a proof set?
Agree about the strike on the reverse, and there are some scratches on the obverse. Retained some nice original mint luster. AU55/58 seems right.
When he gives you his offer (X), you say, 80% is= (Y). Then you get to hear his rap/pitch. Well, blah blah blah. "Why should I sell you my coins...
That's a good link. But I don't think the OP's note grades that high. Circulated with a fold. Oh, $35 circulated binary radar repeater. Nice.
Around 1/2 trillion cents (500 billion) have been produced after they ended the wheat backs. 1959-present.
Just because something "can" sell for a certain price, doesn't mean it will. Yes $600 is MS the higher end of the range as I indicated. $500 in...
The date looks interesting. Is that common on Walkers?
Bahamas and Panama coins are the same size and weight as US coins, as well as 1:1 money conversion with US money. In a little better shape the...

Those ex jewelry coins won't grade and unless it is super rare it won't be worth much over melt. Maybe if someone needs a hole filler at a...
I think there's usually around $300 worth of gold in the 5's. ($320 at current prices.) This coin can sell from $500-$600. I think buyers want it...
I'm not an expert. But this coin has more "added S's" than any other. Something looks off. Has it been examined by an expert and passed?
OK mine were all very crisp. Curses foiled again. On a 74 it was very thick with serifs.
Silver fluctuates. Right now it's about 13x face. ($1.28 for a dime) As for the thrift shop, if you can cherry pick the dates and condition coins...
Now I have to dig out all my 71-S's. Thanks for the extra work.
That field around the rim inside the denticles should be empty. What is that stuff? It looks like melted gold. [ATTACH]
I have some of these in MS that I got in change from my old LCS. (61-62) Yours appear to be worn and scratched. XF-AU. Sorry for the crappy photos...
