As a rule of thumb people don't put things worth more than a coin in a parking meter. This stuff was junk 50 years ago and will be almost all...
I'm extremely lucky in this regard. Most US telephone tokens are Illinois and a disproportionate number of these are Chicago. Being near...
I've forgotten much of what I know about it but it is very common, even exceedingly common compared to the number of telephone token collectors....
This one is definitely chBU and it lists in the new Krause at $11. This might actually be a conservative price since a lot of the post-war...
As a rule most foreign silver has been destroyed in much higher percentages than US silver. I don't know if this applies to Swiss but would guess...
I hate to say it but the '92 is AU-55 and the '97 is AU-58 or MS-63 depending on whether the luster is broken or not. The good news is that...
I doubt you are really seeing fewer '65 to '69 quarters than in the past. Yes, each year more and more of these are accidently thrown away or get...
It could be a misprint but the 1991 set is listed at over $2800.
If anyone is interested the prices on these sets in the new Krause are way higher again. The 1971 that listed for $85 last year is $525 this...
Surely you don't mean you have 30 different aluminum tokens. So far as I know most of the aluminum are very scarce to rare and some don't...
Mintage on this was nearly two million. The problem is that it was apparently never withdrawn and melted like many moderns so most still exist....
The bison nickels won't be a problem. They made nearly half a billion of each and even if you're in an area that they weren't released nickels...
The most dramatic proof error is probably a mid stage 1968 half dollar die cap that was pounded into a proof set and shipped normally even though...
It really does look a lot like my work; tap, tap, scritch, scritch and good as new. ;)
A quarter was worth a lot more in those days. ;) I couldda made good money if I had access to enough of them but it was just a few here and a...
I used to repair quarters. A few taps with a hammer and a few rasps with a file and they'd be fit to pass through a coin counter again. Most...
Indian proof sets starting in 1950 have been dramatically undervalued for many years. Largely it was a matter of the fact that there just wasn't...
It looks polished to me. It's hard to be sure from a picture.
This is my favorite answer. When WC Fields was told his gambling at poker was immoral he answered it wasn't gambling the way he played it. If...
Good news and bad news. The '61 now lists for $30 in unc and Krause tends to undervalue most modern base metal coins quite a bit in unc and...
