Interesting. Thanks. These markets sure have evolved a lot in the last 40 years.
That sounds like far too much and a couple thousand sounds more like a proper price level. However, it is entirely possible that for some reason...
Quarters are still the "workhorse of circulation". They aren't worth much any longer due to deficit spending but they are the largest coin and...
There have been no silver quarters in "circulation" since 1970. When you find a silver quarter in change it's because it just got into change by...

Anyone collecting these mint sets knows this isn't true. Since 1965 the exact methods to make these sets and coins has changed again and again...
The quarter is very nice. I think 66 is a shoe-in and 66+ quite likely. It has a shot at 67 but it's hard to say from a picture. There's...
It's a nice enough set but it's not "unusual" or truly special. The quarter will grade 65+ or 66 (maybe even 66+ but I'd need a better picture...
It's likely plated. It's not impossible that a silver bicentennial planchet was struck in 1975 while the '74's were still being minted but such a...
There are a few really top notch cents in the souvenir sets. Especially the Philly. I have an '82-P cent that is very PL and mostly clean. The...
There's not a lot of demand except at the wholesale level. The typical LCS will have two or three of these but might not display them. Every six...
The 40% Unc sets are far more interesting because the attrition is far higher and because there exists a large spread in the quality of the coins....
I don't disagree. A mintage of four million hardly agrees with "underrated". But it should be remembered that a great number of these have been...
I'm in pretty close agreement. I believe the world coin market has some more room to grow especially in those countries that haven't been hot...
Step couldda gone either way. The little gouge and weakness above the third column is what got it. The thing is this coin is very tough as...
I suspect the picture is not representative of what it looks like in hand. It's hard to say but it looks like mint set tarnish on it along with a...
Being unpopular is often key to a coin's ability to become popular. This makes perfect sense if you think about it. Something that is very...
There was a story of a very young toddler in Australia who got a 1958 3p stuck in his voicebox and was never able to speak. In his mid-20's a...
Right now the best deals are foreign coins (especially 720 to 925) and low mintage art bars from the '70's. You can pick up FM anything for way...
Over the years the discounts and premiums fluctuate. Generally I like to buy things with the lowest net cost (largest discounts) and later trade...
