Another thing that Ikes have and Morgans can't touch is very low prices for very scarce and desirable coins. Obviously MS-66 and 67 are far too...
Just to be clear the coin in the first post is, unfortunately, typical of coins in circulation. It is a beat up, poorly struck, and unattractive...
None of the coins in these sets is fully struck but the services will award MS-66 to the clean ones anyway. They are clean sometimes.
It depends on your perspective. Yes, there is virtually no demand for AU coins and these dates are very available in AU because Numismatic News...
A lot of moderns wouldn't exist at all if not for mint sets. If all the mint sets go bad (like 1975 Japan or 1969 US) then the coins will be very...
I've been burned too many times on mint packaging. A lot of it isn't stable and sometimes coins go into it that aren't stable. I usually...
"Chatter" is a good word for it. I usually call it "chicken scratches" especially when it's around the periphery of the coin. It is indicative...
This is a common problem for some mint set coins. It is appears to be a combination of fresh, sharp, dies and extremely hard strikes. The most...
They have a great display of modern coins.
This is what I like about mint sets. In most cases the coins in sets average far nicer than those made for circulation. In many cases it's a moot...
Thanks for post. 1982 is the date that most S Korean singles become "common". Obviously many of these coins are being removed from the sets.
I don't know but I do sense some of the later dates are less common than people percieve. None are scarce but interest trailed off over the life...
Paper money is very much a vector for disease but coins are pretty clean. Silver's antimicrobial properties make it less likely to carry germs...
Current bid is arnd $1300. Most of these rolls aren't worth the cost of shipping time. It would be wise to ship only the more valuable rolls...
I very much disagree. Of course by the same token if youlook at these markets from the perspective of those making and losing money in them...
I got to see my telephone token collection today and saw I had 146 different of these. I have no idea how many different were made but would...
I have a bag of 1977-C 5p aluminum coins that always listed for pennies apiece. There's nothing special about these coins and there's nothing...
I believe what we are seeing here is the result of a massive demographic change That is well underway in the hobby. It is largely masked by the...
Yes, I believe so. Is modern India really bringing the crazy prices I see on eBay and Amazon? It looks like a bunch of coins going for $5 to...
January, 1979. I believe the grooves were necessary for the token to fit through a complexly shaped opening. An even more complex system was...
