I agree. Most local dealer will just turn around and wholesale this out. You are much better to either sell on Ebay or go to a large world coin...
OP, the coin should have been dipped, then it would not have the scratches. Since it has scratches I believe like Doug that it would be...
To be fair, post strike adjustment marks have always been somewhat controversial. I have read threads about the issue where people are 50/50 as to...
I do not see those as adjustment marks. I see them as PMD scratches. True adjustment marks and added silver are considered part of the planchet...
Yeah, but another post ehre claims the mint HAS stated all the bullion coins come from SF mint, but the cert simply does not say that.

I would also add "market wide" better mean US coins, since ancients have been nothing but up the last 4 years, unfortunately for us still buying....

Hi my name is Chris, and I am a coinaholic but not on the wagon yet. I mean, there are still SO many coins out there, wanting a home in my...
So, to sum up, you believe our economy functioned best in the 1970's, and worst in the latter 80's? Those time frames correspond to your highest...
Ok, good for you, but what does this have to do with collectible coins? You stated you get barbers and SL halves for melt, but what condition? I...
