I usually recommend mint sets as a starting point. For most date clads you'll find a nice attractive specimen after looking at eight or twelve...
That was probably an old friend of mine who sold the coin. I don't want to mention his name since he might prefer to remain anonymous. We talked...
I might be getting a little off topic here but it's something most people aren't aware of and is at least tangentally relevant. I got...
Outside of just a very few dates almost no pre-'98 clads were saved. People saved som kennedy and ike coins and bicentennial quarters and...
Silver won't work in most vending machines any longer. It's not impossible that a deflation would lead to banks being unwilling to accept silver...
Another fine point many forget is that the gold based monetary system failed and the fiat system is still in use. This is ironic but the bottom...
It's really not just clads but all modern coins; all coins minted after 1964. A lot of people today who are advanced collectors still have a bad...
Frankly I'd predict the clad dimes will have their day in a much bigger way than Kennedys. The half dollars were never widely used and peopletend...
Fortunately I read ahead in this particular case. I rarely do. It's really impossible to predict the future. Sure, some things are highly...
It's an interesting variety. I don't believe I've seen this one. Stock tokens with wear are quite unusual.
Yes. It is a stock amusement token. Most were used in video arcades in the '70's and '80's by companies that couldn't afford their own tokens or...
In 1964 a bag of '50-D nickels was worth well in excess of a quarter million dollars in today's money. There were more than 2,000,000 of these...
Some of the clad will likely prove desirable in MS-62 and there will be numerous varieties under a lot of demand pressure, most probably. I do...
You're missing my point. It's not the mintage that matters. Those very high priced Russian moderns were made in staggering numbers. None of the...
Here's how I usually put this. A '69-D is exceedingly difficult to find in AU. Nice AU's are far tougher yet since most of these were lightly...
I've met so few of them that I'm not sure exactly what I'd do. As a rule of thumb it appeared they already had a boyfriend. ;) Give me...
No. A clad is like a woman you meet at the park and she's wearing clothes. This isn't to demean women who don't wear clothes but as a rule you...
Oh, come on. Almost all coin investment is in the old coins and key dates. Until the las few years you never heard of anyone buying moderns...
Being "king" may seem an enviable place to be but it's come at a high price. No, I don't regret any of the work I did or friends I made along the...
Nobody has that sort of quantity. It cost 25 c to set aside a 1965 clad quarter and in those days a quarter was like real money. Even in 1972 25...
