If I were looking for a $200 Ike for a type set, I'd get a 40% 1973-S in MS68. There are enough that it won't be too hard to find one you really...

For coins that are not Important Coins or from Important Collections, both PCGS and NGC will play it conservative when it comes to crossovers....
It'll be interesting and not unprecedented if we see them being coined into some sort of medal.
I'll invoke a question that comes up on VAMWorld now and then when someone posts something that's improbable. "Did you poke it with a stick?" By...
Another opportunity would be to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Les Paul by making guitar-shaped coins. If it's good enough for...
