That's a nice solid but low end Gem. MS-65. If you looked at 100 '78-D's in mint sets there'd be only two or three nicer. This date come...
I'm not sure this is true. I'm not sure it isn't either. Most slabbed Kennedys are going to be very high grade. They aren't worth the cost...
There are several factors working against this coin being a valuable coin. It's not so much the high mintage (2.5 million) as it is the high...
We have to have the nickel to bridge the gap between the dime and quarter. The simplest solution is to make the nickel out of aluminum and...
They've wasted so many millions of dollars making worthless slugs that it's only right they should waste more millions of dollars looking for ways...
I don't believe more than a handful were struck twice. "Proof" is often defined as having multiple strikes. The SMS's were also stuck at...
I think you have about the best possible plan here. One of the things you'll see pretty quickly is that the mint set coins will have better...
Welcome back to coin collecting. I'd suggest that you look through mint sets to make a collection. It's fun to search rolls and if this...
In this case I was referring to somewhat older coins; the 50c and 1E minted from 1924 to 1968. These were very heavily circulated and even though...
There aren't a lot of exceptions to this rule but over time I believe a lot more will be found. Almost all moderns are pretty readily available...
These coins are made in low grade (400 fine) silver and it's very common for them to darken. I agree with several others that it looks fine as is...
Washingtons are available in pocket change. You can learn a lot by looking at lots of the coins you collect and you can look at as many...
It's really pretty simple. Silver coins have invariably been collected for thousands of years and most of the high mintage copper nickel coins...
It's a shame it needs to be done but it does. Some NCLT is very much like real coinage but the catalog has gotten completely out of control....
The Haitian coin is pretty unusual for NCLT in that it was minted for two years. If memory serves though the 50 Gourdes face value was less...

I'm always upgrading. Anytime I see a superior example to a coin I have I try to acquire it if I can.
This is essentially accurate but might be misleading. They cream off one or two coins per roll (if that many) but they also cull out three or...
This looks about right but slightly conservative. There are another couple million who spend serious time and relatively little money. Then...
I'd go MS-65 but the graders are pretty tough now days and they hate scratches. It looks like a bit of planchet scratching at the top of the drum...
