I think many people might be putting too much emphasis on a term like "conditional rarity". Sure a 1982-P quarter could hardly be more common in...
It looks like it got away from a mint set. It might be (or have been) MS-66. Except for a little strike weakness it loiks very good.
I've never seen one.
Keep in mind that if there's damage an acetone soak will reveal it. It can be hard to tell especially with aluminum and aluminum bronze. Cu/ ni...
I'm a big fan of nice attractive 1969 quarters. They don't even have to be Gem, just something that's nice enough someone might want it in a...
Boy, these come just horrible. If you can find a Gem it's worth a lot of money. Some of the varieties have value as well.
Well preserved older clads tend to turn a golden color. Usually it's a very attractive gold and sometimes not. The newer clad seems to have more...
I don't think I ever knew that but forgot if I did. Thanks.
It's typical for these sets to have damage and the Krause price does reflect almost pristine coins. Modern collectors primarily are seeking coins...
Holy smokes those are some really tough sets. These coins were among the first moderns that were recognized to be scarce in nice condition....
'76- $60. '78- $60. '82- $55. per Krause. I believe the '76 and '78 might be undervalued a little.
These were hard to find before the states coins came out in '99. Only about one coin in 400 was a '76. Since '99 the incidence is soaring...
Collectors need to exercise common sense and do due diligence. Just looking at a couple dozen '01 proof sets will disclose that this coin is not...
Get rid of the dollar bill and the vaults will empty like magic. Banks will be forced to actually distribute the coins so they can be used.
Good luck. The hobby will be waiting for you when you return.
I love silver coins and silver but these are strange times when most of the exception value is in cu/ ni and other base metal coins. As a coin...
There is one thing I might add that's not widely known. In 1976 the mint came to believe at the last second that they were required to produce 14...
Great thread! I'm not sure what I can add to it except that Ikes are really a great collectible and grossly underrated. Gems are pretty...
There's no question average quality for 1965 was lowest. I'm not so sure this applies to the finest quality or their incidence however.
