I never seem to fit any categories. :cool::( I pre-date the "class of '64" by several years, never collected pennies as a youngster, and never...
That's a great resource. Thanks.
The ones I've seen are more in the nature of fantasies made by LA Stamp. Of course there are counterfeits everywhere and it's perfectly legal...
Tokens are not commonly counterfeited yet. If these were inherited from a source that had them for more than a few years they are unlikely to be...
When I acquired a bag of 1982-P quarters from a local bank the vault manager found the request so odd that he contacted several Chicago area banks...
Thanks for all the info. Modern coins are underappreciated everywhere but maybe I'll have to be crossing South Korea and India off the list in...
Thanks for the thread. Is the 500 won really as common as its price would suggest. Did these circulate at all?
I'm more concerned about the misleading prices they publish for moderns. '82-P quarters routinely bring $40 on eBay when they are nice attractive...
The nickels won't really be "readily" available until the cost of the set comes down to the total value of the coins in the set. A lot of coins...
There aren't any other years that are hard to find but there are plenty that are hard to find in nice condition. Most of the '69 and '71 issues...
Redbook grossly understates the value of moderns. Bluebook doesn't even list most moderns in the grades they are typically collected. You'll be...
There are lots of pretty quarters in this thread and this certainly includes a lot of the clads. That '77 is one of them. They come cleaner but...
Welcome aboard. I enjoy Kennedys quite a bit.
The US market for world coins used to dwarf all the other markets put together but they are catching up. Indeed, I suspect that for modern world...
A Gem frosted '66 half dollar has real value and a real market. There are hundreds of collectors and only dozens of specimens. But the corner...
The thing's kindda a mess. I suspect it's what is typically called a die adjustment piece. Most of these are produced from a press coasting to a...
You're right, I misspoke. Five and six steps get easier in '71 but the standard changes later.
I agree. I have seen good deals as well.
1970 and earlier five steps are required for FS. After this it takes six steps because the hubs were redone and many more dies made FS.
I have a lot of respect for Rick Tomaska and have spoken to him. He knows a lot about coins and is very sharp. He's always had a reputation for...
Separate names with a comma.
