Post-1974 coins are flat chiefly because press speeds are so high there's no time to fill in deep designs. They've been getting flater and flater...
Looks to me like the coin was lost around 1968 or so. It's in surprisingly good condition for so long on the ground.
It looks like a mint set coin. But it looks like chicken scratching at 10 O'clock. It even looks like it has some mint set haze though it could...
...Like 1000 1968 mint sets. One of these would have a nice PL Denver quarter in MS-67. There would be other treasures as well.
The coins that come back in different grades all the times are the ones with attributes that are all over the board. If a coin is a solid Gem but...
The '68-D quarter comes very nice. Top end specimens are "common" and often highly PL. Luster is very fine and very deep while strikes can be...
They are certainly discriminating against Cuban-Americans who can't buy or sell coins of their own homeland. ALL minorities are protected in...
The first is a beaut. These are rarely seen unc. The Rouble looks like it's all dipped out.
My gut tells me it's a high end 65 but better pictures would make it feel more confident.
There is no law against Cuba. It is evil to try to institute a law against a people. What's next; will they expunge Cuba from the maps and...
I'd wager this arbitrary and capricious behavior contravenes a dozen US laws. Imagine if they tried to suppress Israeli or Egyptian coins over...
Thanks. Sometimes I think the only way that moderns will ever get attention is to shame the price guides into listing accurate prices. I think...
I just checked eBay for '82-P quarters. There were more than usual and I saw four decent coins but they were going for $30 or more which is far...
The dealer simply didn't think of checking the Greysheet for the price since rolls at that time were so cheap. Even if he had checked finding a...
I used to drive around checking out banks for Gem examples of the current coins and checking dealer stocks of mint sets for older Gems. Sometimes...
The coins are worth more out of the set. The sets are the best, and often the only, source of coins from the last half century and their quality...
Interesting thread. I've liked Brazilian coins for many years and always pick up BU coins when I see them cheap. It's good to see there's...
I like the Kennedys and seem to like them a little more every year. Quarters are my favorite clads because Gems aren't too tough to find but are...
Join the club. I'm most always wrong. ;) I know quarters much better than dimes and clad dimes much better than silver dimes.
A lot of the early clad quarters come with a modified type "b" reverse.
