I wouldn't suggest holding onto circulated examples unless they are varieties but right now the market for clad half dollars is actually pretty...
Indeed! :cigar: Mostly though I save the Gems and varieties when I can find them. My favorites are specimens with a clean shield on the reverse.
I wouldn't rule out 67 based on the first photos but it is solid 66 in my opinion. Any other date 67 would be a shoe-in but this date comes so...
Nice coin but this date comes nice. It looks like a solid 66 to me. I prefer them without the distractions around the edge near the rim but...
Wild guess; MS-67 but no PL. Most of these have little scratches but this one seems to hae only the planchet marking. Many of them are very...
Something doesan't seem entirely kosher with that '75 penny. I'd love to see a picture or hear a description of the metal at 11:00 O'clock. Does...
I fear your preferences are going to make it difficult to profit. It's not necessary to specialize to make money but you do need focus. You must...
I think that's just the angle of the photo. You could almost shave with those steps.
Should go 65 FS.
The fields of the die are irregular after being hubbed. There are waves and areas at different heights and angles. In order to show the...
For the main part the production of PL's requires that the dies are ground before being put into use. Philly used to do this with a few dies from...
Indeed. I've been wrong about this unprecedented increase in demand for 30 years and it's possible I'll never be right but the fact is that when...
I slammed Krause earlier in this thread. I just spent an hour looking over the first edition I've seen since the mess that was the 2015. They...
As I said several posts back about why it wouldn't be productive for us to try to reach some sort of consensus; we have very different...
People can collect what they choose. If they prefer 2c pieces or silver eagles to clad quarters it doesn't mean thgey hat clads. But it's not...
Of course there's a natural state for everything. The natural state of a pendulum is at its lowest point because it's the average no matter how...
Nonsense! I have never in my life heard anyone say that a 19th century US gold coin isn't really a coin so isn't collectible. I've never heard...
I'd write a letter but I believe this is intentional. How else do you explain that a $7 classic wholsales for $3 and a $7 modern wholesales for $15?
It may not seem like it the last few months but I actually have a lot of sympathy for the authors of the Redbook. They didn't create the grading...
Somehow it doesn't seem likely to be worth the trouble and effort. After extensive argument it seems that our differences are primarily ones of...
Separate names with a comma.
