It's not simply a matter of the mint being willing to saddle the economy with a worthless coin but it's also a matter of it being impossible to...
This is considered a variety. The experts were guessing 10,000 to 12,000 based on the numbers turning up in Sandusky and Pittsburgh. I've...
The quarter has nearly 6.5c worth of metal in it which is far more than the '32-S quarter had when it was released. Of course in those days the...
There are not very many true DDO Roosies. You're most probably seeing coins with mechanical doubling which is usually caused by vibration of the...
Thanks for the clarification Conder101. It was a very bad time for people who were interested in circulating coinage. Not only were most of...
Yuck. I hate it when deals go bad. Sometimes it's my own fault for doing the wrong thing early on. A lot of complaints are stupid petty little...
"" Be aware also that some of the dealers who sell very high grade modern coins don't buy these coins back at current market prices. So before you...
Yes. For the main part it applies to most modern (1965-'98) business strike coinage. It also applies to many of the ultra-moderns as well. Even...

They're about middle of the pack for '90 to date date "D" mints. The "D's tend to be easier than the "P's. If they are nice strikes then the...
The coinage act of 1965 wasn't passed until midyear. Before that the government had instituted a date freeze and said the 1964 date would be...
The reverse shield is like a magnet for picking up marks, especially the top of the shield which is flat. This area is a high point and marks...
So any coin that doesn't impress those who collect 19th century US silver is "uncollectible"? This seems like a very narrow view. Now, not only...
That's a beautiful coin and probably from a mint set. I suspect it graded MS-66 and I agree. Even though it has attributes of a higher grade...
