I've seen it before but can't remember anything about it right now. A lot of private producers started springing up in 1982 when mint sets were...
For many years there were about 20% coppers even as they were being hoarded. I figured this was because the zincs rot away so quickly that they...
Very interesting. I've never figured these for pennies before. It really puts the incidence of the coins in perspective especially in light of...
The easiest way to spot the proof coins even after they circulate is the rims. See how the proof rims are square in profile and very even....
You might want to get a few of the cheap blue folders for coins and save the nicest one of each date. You can then compare new finds to those you...
You should see all the advertising tokens and good fors. These are among my favorites. There are even dozens and dozens of throws made by the...
I've got thousands of coins which have increased 100 fold or more. I'm not sure it was worth all the effort and time but it's been a lot of...
And this shpould be on the verge of going viral, as well.
Buy early communist Chinese aluminum. Buy 1982-P quarters that are well struck by new dies. Buy Indian c/n from the '70's in BU. Buy Fijian...
Sure it was and most of them were overgraded. Of course in thoise days grading was a little stricter and very few coins graded higher than MS-65....
Moderns are the best "investment" going. But anyone who thinks coins are good investments are the same people who bought Gem morgan dollars in...
I seriously doubt that's wear on it. It'll come off in isopropyl alcohol. It's a decent strike and other than a little chicken scratching...
I think MS-65 is a reasonable grade. You don't see them this nice very often. I've gone through rolls and can't recall a nicer one.
As you know nice attractive examples like your's are seldom seen. There isn't much demand for them though.
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
Doubloons are grossly underrated as a collectible. They are a lot of fun with numerous rarities, scarcities and highly desirable issues that are...
Some coins mmust be removed from their OGP. I have a superb Gem 1949 Polish set that welded itself to the plastic and is utterly ruined. These...
This is a real cherry. Either a very very picky collector spent it or it just got away from someone. You'd have to look at a few hundred...
If they got a computer it wouldn't be necessary to white out the price in every individual catalog and write in a realistic one. They could just...
I like 'em all except Effigy Mounds and Ozark Waterways.
