1966 dimes were supposed to have as much relief as the silvers but few of them did because they weren't fully struck up and dies were heavily worn...
That's one ugly dime. Ya shouldda sawed the 1966 dimes when they were new. Lots of them had even less detail than this one.
I've never done the math but I'd guess you're fairly close. Maybe just a little low. There is a difference between the coasts for nickels and...
I've got to believe you'll be glad you did in time. Collectors always do lots better financialkly than investors because collectors know which...
Old coins often have value in even poor grades. Modern coins sometimes have a lot of value in low grades but not typically. Moderns were poorly...
These coins can be just awful. If you have 100 original 1975 mint sets in perfect condition about 40 of the Philly Ikes aren't nice enough to...
People have always had this idea that all you have to do is want one and a nice MS-70 modern will appear in your hand by magic. The thinking is...
Some of the coins in these sets are remarkaby difficult to find in uncirculated condition. People just didn't bother to save moderns and these...
I don't disagree but so long as they remain a communist country it's unlikely that the average citizen is going to do a great deal better...
I would expect the price to increase since they can be more actively traded. There are lots of Cuban Americans and the ability to more easily...
You can find a '71 nickel in change; they aren't that tough. Finding a nice attractive coin with little wear gets harder every year because...
The coins made on the high speed presses were poorly struck, often had worn dies, and had poor surfaces. They also had extensive light marking....
They had to suddenly store more than 10,000,000 40% silver quarters, halfs, and dollars. They actually used 55 gallon steel drums to store these...
There are really two distinct 1976-S 40% business strikes. Late in the striking period the mint came to believe that the authorizing...
There are some neat mint set varieties including the 1974 DDO and the 1988 rotated reverse. You could also incude the '76-S Unc made on high...
Yes. It's listed as 300E and as obsolete made between 1951 and 1954. It's white metal (often cu/ni) and 16mm. It lists for $1.50 but this only...
Cent roll availability isn't as great as most believe. It's also very spotty with millions of some coins and very few of others. It's a real...
None of the clad quarters are common. Well, lots of 1965's were set aside and quite a few '66's as well but people figured out by 1967 that there...
People saved a lot fewer rolls of cents after 1964 and even fewer nickels. But it was the clad that were saved at all and people don't realize...
I can almost imagine a wealthy person not redeeming a higher value IW and holding onto it instead.
