Collectors collect. Most of us define a collection of something that interests us and then proceed to acquire one of each. This can be anything...
You're not going to find an MS-67 '83-D in circulation but this is chiefly because this coin is rare rather than there are no uncs in circulation....
I wouldn't keep typical heavily worn '70's coins but it might be a good idea to hang onto nice XF and better ones. Some of these dates are much...
People are still putting bags of 1964 nickels in circulation but not many '65's were ever set aside in the first place. A roll of 1964 nickels...
Finding nice well made attractive '65 nickels is getting tough. I consider only about a third of them sufficiently damaged to consider "culls"...
It's the "not knowing" that leads to getting hooked on coins. By the time you do know you'll find that searching, collecting, and studying coins...
Oh! And if any of the coins are nice Gems save them too. Especially those dated between '05 and '10. High grade coins can be quite valuable...
Actually that's quite OK. Many of us got into this for pure financial gain and stuck around because it was so much fun. Some of us have made a...
There could be some neat coins and possibly even valuable varieties. You could buy folders and fill them with the nicest coins of each date....
Some are even eclectic and odd. ;)
Each date of cent has its unique characteristics. I consider the '79 far tougher than the '73 because it is usually heavily marked. It's true...
Way cool. I was so poor and so cheap that I couldn't afford a 27c Whitman folder for my buffalo nickels and had to make a holder. Later I...
The coin is pretty nice. It looks like it may have carbon spots which would kill it but if not then my gut tells me it's a nice Gem. It doesn't...
They aren't that "junky". Nice average circ examples go for 25c each. These aren't nice enough for that but if they were well mixed with better...
Yes. A lot of them did. Ikes were even worse sometimes since they were spun in drums to knock off "finning". I've seen fresh bags of '74 and...
An AU '83-P can be worth this much. A Denver would have to be Unc.
Unfortunately it's a somewhat more common date. We have a couple experts here who might be able to tell you if a Gem (like the 500 w) might get a...
Cool thread but I tend to think the dump is where most Redbooks belong. They can't report prices accurately and try to create markets rather than...
Well, that's just great. Welcome to the best hobby in the world. If you're going to stick around I change my advice. Rather than just dumping...
If the Kennedy's are shiny or there are lots of 1982 and '83 issues they could be worth a substantial premium. I wouldn't worry much about just a...
