It's hard to tell from the picture but I think your coin does have some PL attributes. Experience tells me it won't be enough to grade PL but I...
About 60% of the '78 dimes made for circulation are gone now and the survivors are in F to VF+. A few nice XF's can still be found with a lot of...
I believe the '78 dime is one of the better dates. It had a high mintage so almost none were saved. Most were poorly made and ugly anyway. In...
You can almost cross a dealer off your list for all time once you search their stock. Most change very slowly. Cherry picking foreign dealers...
To be FB at PCGS the split between the lower bands must be visible all the way across. It's hard to be certain from your picture but it appears...
In the old days there would be many nice examples of old coin in circulation for many many years unless collectors were saving them. In 1962 it...
The 1970 mint set is one of the worst for tarnishing. It is probably for the best to remove the coins and soak them in 91% isopropyl or acetone....
There used to be a pretty neat and active web site for collectors of NZ coinage I spent time on. There were lots of very knowledgeable...
Wow! All of these I've seen are bad now. Often it's every single coin that is bad.
I think the question is why are worn barbers attractive despite the wear while less worn moderns tend to be ugly and banged up. There are numerous...
Tough date but it's easy with steps. It's also a tough call but I'm guessing it's 65 FS. It's not nice enough to get a bump for being tough...
I can almost see people looking at the obverse for the first time and wondering how an old quarter can be so shiny! I think this is great for...
I'm sorry to hear of this. Good luck.
Redbook is way too low on moderns. They are as low on moderns as they are high on classics. The wholesale price of a chBU '83-P quarter is $550...
For a few dollars one can set aside stacks and stacks of new 1 Y coins and every indication is that a few people are. But I don't think you'll...
No. There are, I believe, four different large bronze medals which are made by the specific mint. There are two used regularly and two for the...
The souvenir sets come in a blue or greenish envelope with souvenir set stamped on them and usually a date written on by hand. Inside is a single...
I've never even seen this one before. It is probably either extremely low mintage or was made in more recent times. The second one is a real...
Yes. Exactly. It's surprising how much difference there is in mint sets between the two dates. The dollars are far better in the '76 set and...
People will be surprised how hard it is to find a lot of moderns. Right now they're easy because nobody is looking. With so little demand the...
