Fortunately I read ahead in this particular case. I rarely do. It's really impossible to predict the future. Sure, some things are highly...
It's an interesting variety. I don't believe I've seen this one. Stock tokens with wear are quite unusual.
Yes. It is a stock amusement token. Most were used in video arcades in the '70's and '80's by companies that couldn't afford their own tokens or...
In 1964 a bag of '50-D nickels was worth well in excess of a quarter million dollars in today's money. There were more than 2,000,000 of these...
Some of the clad will likely prove desirable in MS-62 and there will be numerous varieties under a lot of demand pressure, most probably. I do...
You're missing my point. It's not the mintage that matters. Those very high priced Russian moderns were made in staggering numbers. None of the...
Here's how I usually put this. A '69-D is exceedingly difficult to find in AU. Nice AU's are far tougher yet since most of these were lightly...
I've met so few of them that I'm not sure exactly what I'd do. As a rule of thumb it appeared they already had a boyfriend. ;) Give me...
No. A clad is like a woman you meet at the park and she's wearing clothes. This isn't to demean women who don't wear clothes but as a rule you...
Oh, come on. Almost all coin investment is in the old coins and key dates. Until the las few years you never heard of anyone buying moderns...
Being "king" may seem an enviable place to be but it's come at a high price. No, I don't regret any of the work I did or friends I made along the...
Nobody has that sort of quantity. It cost 25 c to set aside a 1965 clad quarter and in those days a quarter was like real money. Even in 1972 25...
All of the modern sets are a challenge in gem. The dimes are easiest but will still keep you busy for a good long while. Any collectoir who...
Again. The value of the metal in a clad quarter in 2008 exceeded the value of the silver in a silver quarter in 1935. Many clads are far scarcer...
Clad coins have not been melted yet but this is the fate of almost all moderns and it will eventually befall clad quarters as well. Almost...
Yes. My opinion is highly biased and widely known. I have a financial interest in them besides just the collector interest. I've put a great...
Yes. I agree. Moderns are collectable simply because they are coins (or tokens). They are collectable in their own right and anyone who doesn't...
Tokens, huh? You do realize there were 1966 dimes produced before 1964 dimes. What automatically makes a silver coin real and a cu ni coin a...
I should add that the worst thing in 1965 was the knowledge that the silver coins would soon be gone. Everything that was of interest to me as a...
I don't understand why collectors ever stopped collecting modern coins back in 1965. Even though I myself did the exact same thing. The...
