The incidence of Gems I've seen in mint sets closely parallels the population reports of the grading companies. Dates with twice as many Gems in...
I've cherry picked thousands of these since 1973 long before anyone else was and it's one date I've never found a really nice example. Even...
And most people think $10,000 a pound for equally scarce moderns is "crazy". But what's a few million if you've got it and want an 1822 half eagle?
Yes. Very common and the most common era is around 1972 to 1977. Before 1980 most of the coins were loaded by hand. It's much less of a...
This is actually quite common.

Prices on these have been soaring for a few years now but are only up about 60%. The premiums are up far more because $1 is still a significant...
Other than BU's and varieties they'll never be valuable. The '76 tI, '73, and '73-D have a small value (2 or $3) in XF/ AU but otherwise regular...
The worst sets are the '68 to '71 and the '74 to '80. The SMS's are starting to go now as well. I used to find 2 nice gemmy coins in three...
There is a growing list that are worth saving all the way down to MS-63. As long as they are fully lustrous coins like '76 tI Ikes are worth $4...
These markets are highly complex. Any date Ike is worth $3 wholesale now. Most people think they are worth $1 but even nice circs with no...
Actually the coins in these sets are going bad and getting worse by the day. There probably won't be any undamaged coins in sets before too many...
There are lots of coins in there that have almost no value right now and are unlikely to get more valuable but to understand these markets will...
You have to be careful with Austrian 19th century silver. A lot of it is quite common in BU. I don't know anything specific about the Florin,...
Just to be clear "toning" is the development of color as exhibited on the more expensive coin. I would personally prefer the less expensive coin...
I avoid saying I don't like any coin but the toned example in this specific case doesn't appeal to me in this photo. I would buy the the untoned...
Silver coins from all over the world were invariably saved in substantial numbers but when the world switched to cu/ ni after WW II people stopped...
Do you own any lustrous BU NZ cu/ ni of this era? These coins almost all got into circulation and are gone now or heavily worn. XF's are...
Not one employee at JM was stupid enough to pay $1.25 each for 1942 nickels, I wager. I suppose it's possible they got mixed accidently. May...
I don't know but I've never heard of one. Catalog prices for moderns are becoming meaningless as collectors compete for what's available. Early...
