My all time favorite coin is in my profile and is my avatar on the NGC forum. It is a gorgeously toned Battle Creek Morgan Dollar that I have...
Looks like an attempt to counterfeit a quarter eagle to me.
What you guys call arguing, I call a healthy debate. Unless it degenerates into petty bickering and name calling which it has not in this thread....
You must type quicker than me.;)
It is so disturbing that NGC bagged coins that come so commonly rainbow toned from mint sets. I really don't see why they bagged the quarters at...
The Official RED BOOK A Guide Book of BUFFALO AND JEFFERSON NICKELS is a great reference written by Q. David Bowers. I highly recommend it.
A gorgeous quarter indeed. I love the deep magenta and orange patina on both sides. Todd's photos really show how important a good coin photo is...
Wonderful write up of my favorite commemorative coin. Since we have great photos of the Lafayette Dollar, I guess a photo of Krider's 1881...
I think it would depend upon the extant population remaining in that grade. Certainly with a mintage that low, the coin is scarce, but if the...
These are your statements. The first one I disagreed with. The second one is acceptable. I have and will continue to define scarce as a degree...
I don't believe you and I am qualified so I don't need to ask anybody. I hope you don't mind that I find the definitions on Heritage's website...
BNB, I already gave you my coin which was the $50 Gold Panama-Pacific Octagonal. Another really good choice would be the 1792 Disme which is...
I certainly understand the difference between rarity and value. However, I don't know of any truly rare US coin that is not also valuable. I...
I was referring to US coins and stated so in my post. In general, the prices of ancients must be lower because the number of collectors is far...
Are you in charge of the numismatic dictionary these days because those are not the accepted definitions. These come from Heritage's glossary:...
I hope you understand that when the OP asked for rarities valued over $500, he did not mean to invalidate or marginalize your collection. He was...
Price and rarity are not always directly related for the reasons already discussed and I never stated that rarity is the sole determining factor...
Not joking at all. Price is a reflection of supply (rarity) & demand and is absolutely an indicator of rarity. A very high level of demand can...
I really don't understand the hostility shown in this thread. The OP asked for your opinion as to which coin you value as the most rare/precious...
Because it is the finest pedigreed Jefferson Nickel collection sold in the open market to date. Take a look!...
