It's just as well since in 25 years this thing will still be junky and it will take about twenty five of them to buy a candy bar. I'd save...
It's really not all that bad. They made 821 million 1966 quarters and this one is in the top 275 million or so. More than half are already...
It appears to clearly be a 1952. I could have a different opinion in hand but the date looks fine in the new pictures. Even when these are...
It's common that the date star is poorly struck. I might be able to make it out since my eye needs less information to read it but odds are it's...
Coins have been made debased and underweight for millinea. This is hardly a problem with US coins but there are many heavily worn US coins and...
It's not that improbable that it's a premium coin. These coins circulated very heavily and very few survive in the higher grades. This applies...
It's way too big of a topic. There are many tens of thousands of different tokens and token like items that have been made in the US of hundreds...
That sounds way too low to me. More than half of the pre-'21 morgans were destroyed by the Pittman act in 1918 but almost none would have been...
This one probably wasn't too far off but often things like this are calculated and the pencil doesn't know that there is an attrition rate on...
The SBA set is almost the quintessential modern set. It is short and most of the coins in it are pretty common in unc. It has relatively few...
My definitioon of a "serious collector" is anyone who systematically acquires coins for a collection and knowledge about coins. Acquiring...
5,755 total pices isn't extremely low for that era. I do agree it's tiny compared to the potential demand and so is the total 8,801 mintage...
It looks from the photo to be highly Proof Like. There are many possible causes for this but this one appears to have been struck well by a...
This just might be a factor. Now that the eagle reverse quarters are seen less and less it just might prod people to try to put sets of them...
It's a laudable goal but the cost may be somewhat higher than you anticipate so you might need toscale back somewhat. I'd suggest you go more...
You're right, of course, but my perspective is a little different. My focus has mostly been on setting aside nice high quality examples of BU...
It probably is a one coin proof set of 1971. But I just don't know. This same coin appeared in the regular 9-coin proof set with a mintage...
I think the mint sets are a gimme because of the sharply lower mintages, sharply higher attrition, and far more importantly,the potentially much...
I've always believed and still believe that coin collecting will be a mass hobby and there's little alternative to people collecting these...
When wholesalers bust up proof sets to make rolls the substandard coins are usually just spent. All cu/ ni clad quarters are very nearly the...
