The cases are not actually sealed. You can pry them apart and take the coins out if you want. Someone probably took the SBA from the set and...
The previous posters have some great suggestions, but I'd also add the official ANA book to the list. It's not going to line up exactly with PCGS...
Sadly, I think this seller actually has some numismatic knowledge. I noticed that all the blatant AT coins are simply labelled "toned," while the...
IMO gold is way overvalued. Equities should handily beat gold in the long run, though I would go for a broader index than the Dow, like VTWSX or...
The "we buy gold" place near where I live is much better than the pawn shops in the area. The pawn shops are terrible and have absolutely no...
Makes sense, since some people collect them as coins rather than just pretty ounces of silver. I think you might find some of the less popular...
If it were my coin, I would either keep it as is, because I don't really care about the grade on the slab as much as the coin inside. Either that...
Huh, really? I like it. I'm not sure I like it enough to pay $529 for it, but it's nice.
Consider yourself lucky! I haven't found a decent shop that's truly local (like, within 30 minutes drive of me)!
Typically, a bullion dealer will buy at percentage below spot and sell at a percentage above spot. Spot is roughly the price they could sell for...
Very nice coin. :) The good thing about it not being a "monster toned" piece is that it was probably nice and affordable. I wish I had pictures...
If you skip 42/1 and 42/1 D, that should be a doable set. If you want to add some challenge (and probably also expense), go for nice toners....
Haha... no. :)
I was thinking maybe it was carved.
I see a very worn/damaged 1964 cent with a die clash. The die clash is what gives you the faint image of the reverse.
I was going to guess it was an adjustment strike. Also, nice lamination.
I've seen this before and probably even posted as much before, but this is one of the most beautiful Walkers I've seen, hands down. No idea why...
Looks like it's covered in casting bubbles, too.
I'm with the consensus: looks good to me, though that might change with better photos. :) That's typically what you'll get with bag or album...
I'm gonna go with die clash as well. Those marks look way too sharp compared to what I see here:...
Separate names with a comma.
