Most of these prices are quite low. Three or four times face is considered "good" for most dates. 1967 quarters go for $155 a roll and the...
Many world coins trade in bulk at prices between about $2.50 and $12 per pound. Some can even be higher or lower but most coins traded by weight...
There's a fairly simple answer. A large percentage of Unc and high end AU coins were brought in by speculators or caused to be brought in by...
I do wish I had tried harder. I asked only at a couple banks and got the wrong person each time. They made a beautiful display under the...
These "Bank Sets" were fairly popular back in the late-'80's/ early-'90's. The prices were set by the individual banks and sometimes had a...
Something's horribly wrong here. The coins look fine for a '76 mint set and they probably all originated in a mint set. But they didn't...
'89-D cents come very nice in the mint sets. Many are even highly PL. The typical coin is an MS-66 making high grades of this date common....
Yes. This. These spots form quite easily and a large percentage of '75 mint sets have a badly corroded Philly quarter.
There are a lot of tired longs. I'd guess the spot on the right side obverse did it in. Without the spot it looks like MS-66. Now days...
Just take out the dimes and quarters while throwing them on towels . When they dry dump them in a bucket and take the bucket to the bank....
He will be missed in the hobby. Condolences to family. RIP.
...And like most garbage, waste, CO2 production, and political nonsense a few people get wealthy at the expense of everyone else. We spend 3c...
That's what I like about these; they're easily identified, scarce enough to be challenging, and common enough they can actually be found. I've...
It's not that unusual to get very high grade coins in circulation. I used to set aside every Gem I found during the year in circulation in an...
You can easily get $12 per roll for nice original rolls of most of them. There are a few that bring as much as $20. ...Not many. You'd...
Good point. Some coins are all MS-65 or better so the term "Gem" loses its meaning applied to them.
I knew inflation would hit me pretty hard with so many safety deposit boxes full of quarters. Then there's the rent every year and the premiums I...
That's way cool. I've never seen anything like that. Are you sure they're real and how would I obtain them? It does "appear" to be real...
Yeah, a lot of certified "Gems" just means they aren't scratched up real bad. It used to mean that they were well struck by good dies and had...
The Redbook overprices old coins and underprices moderns. In addition to a few other states coins I'd hang on to any 2005 or later Gem.
