A few months ago I took about 10000 bulk wheats to a local coin dealer. He paid 4-6 cents per coin (6 cents for teens and twenties, 5 cents for...
I would guess MS 64. I'm helping an elderly lady sell her mothers collection and there are two mint state 1840 large cents I'm going to send in...
That sounds like a good reason to liquidate one's collection instead of passing it down to heirs who are not interested in numismatics. I will...
If I had the time and patience I could sell much of my friends collection on Ebay and get more money than a dealer would pay. However, this would...
None were released for circulation but were only in mint sets. You are correct in that they contain 40% silver and are collectable.

I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers but regardless of the holder, one should buy the coin, not the holder. That said, the slabbed coins in my...
Beauty is in the eye of the holder.
I personally am not a toned coin fan but if someone else is then great. People collect things that they have an interest in. Some would scoff at...
Isn't Niagara Falls near Bison New York?
What would make my day would be either NGC or PCGS encapsulating the toilet seat in one of their slabs. Would it get a details grade for harsh...
