I would say MS-66. I would like to upgrade the one I have that is in an MS-64 holder, but a lot of higher grade ones seem to have a rub on the...
The trouble is the circulated ones are so cheap, it makes no sense for a dealer to package them in a holder and sell. You might find one in a...
I saw one at a local dealer’s shop a couple of days ago. The “odd reed” is interesting, and I would not have known about it until the dealer...
One of best looking modern commemorative coins.
I just looked at the new design today. I liked the old one better. Unless the mint is going to change the design every year, there will be plenty...
The amazing thing about the token in the OP is that the die held together long enough to make so many pieces. That is nothing rare about it all....
The presentation supplied everything by pictures. He might have added the that the really sophisticated guys put reeded edges on the coins....
It really depends upon what the 1909-S-VDB would be worth certified. The coin is not rare at all, and most collectors would rather have a no...
I would wait to buy a better one, if it's in your budget. These tokens come nice. [ATTACH] Here is another one with silver plating. [ATTACH]...
You are paying for color on that coin. I think that's foolish, but each to their own. I wouldn't be bailing them out of that purchase.
[ATTACH] Here is a 1938-D Buffalo Nickel I bought a couple years ago. It's in an NGC "fatty" MS-66 holder. It has a couple more marks, but it...
I got burned on the Gold CAC thing when it first started. Never again! If the coin is in an MS-65 holder, but is really an MS-66, it’s worth MS-66...
Profits from the modern commemorative coins go to the national entities that get the benefits from bills passed by Congress and signed by the...
I dream about buying coins or trying to put a value on something in my dreams, but try as I might, I never bring anything back with me. :)
It was. The 1982 Washington commemorative half dollar was 90% silver, as the Bill of Rights Half Dollar, which featured Madison. All of the rest...
As some of you know, I collect political items also. Here are a few pieces that I have. My late in-laws received this small medal when they...
I have long admired the design on the Statue of Liberty commemorative half dollar. The only disappointing thing is that it's not made of silver.
I have two of these pieces. This one ended up in an NGC holder before I bought it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Then I ended up with a second...
Since modern mints will make anything for a buck or a pound, I suppose the royal mint will issue one, but I won’t buy it.
Given what I had to pay it, it will never be a money maker for me. High grade early copper is closely held and expensive. According to the picking...
