Ed - what exactly do you mean by coins for collectors ? Do you mean Proofs, commems, mint sets or all of the above ? I suppose it doesn't...
I agree with Jim, the needs to be sent to NCS. Whatever you do, do not attempt to do anything yourself or you could throw about $800 out the window.
I would agree that the half has XF details, but it looks to me like it has suffered some corrosion at some point making the surfaces pitted. I...
I don't know who says that but they are definitely wrong. DO NOT clean the coins ! As for value, we need better pics to be able to judge,...
Probably not, but it does appear to have been harshly cleaned which would be enough.
Then you should be aware Frank that what happens to coins in the ground varies greatly depending on where they are. Not all dirt is as acidic or...
Really ? Then apparently you didn't notice that that the index contains every Buffalo nickel ever minted with each one in grades from 63 thru 67....

At one point the '99 sets were over $400. I once sold a set to a member here for $275 and they thought they got the bargain of a lifetime. The...
How many times do you have to see these facts before you believe them ? [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] And if...
There are several right here on the forum that you'll probably have better luck with. Mark Feld, The Penny Lady, Lost Dutchman to name a few.
I wouldn't pay much attention to the Numismedia guide if I were you. Even Coin World's Coin Values only list the coin as being worth just over...
Paul it seems that you interpret my words incorrectly. I have never said that I think that I think the toned coin market is a fad. Far from it....
Good job :thumb:
