If anyone is interested the prices on these sets in the new Krause are way higher again. The 1971 that listed for $85 last year is $525 this...
Surely you don't mean you have 30 different aluminum tokens. So far as I know most of the aluminum are very scarce to rare and some don't...
Mintage on this was nearly two million. The problem is that it was apparently never withdrawn and melted like many moderns so most still exist....
The bison nickels won't be a problem. They made nearly half a billion of each and even if you're in an area that they weren't released nickels...
The most dramatic proof error is probably a mid stage 1968 half dollar die cap that was pounded into a proof set and shipped normally even though...
It really does look a lot like my work; tap, tap, scritch, scritch and good as new. ;)
A quarter was worth a lot more in those days. ;) I couldda made good money if I had access to enough of them but it was just a few here and a...
I used to repair quarters. A few taps with a hammer and a few rasps with a file and they'd be fit to pass through a coin counter again. Most...
Indian proof sets starting in 1950 have been dramatically undervalued for many years. Largely it was a matter of the fact that there just wasn't...
It looks polished to me. It's hard to be sure from a picture.
This is my favorite answer. When WC Fields was told his gambling at poker was immoral he answered it wasn't gambling the way he played it. If...
Good news and bad news. The '61 now lists for $30 in unc and Krause tends to undervalue most modern base metal coins quite a bit in unc and...
I hadn't seen your post when I posted. My memory must be wrong on this.
As I remember it all happened just about simultaneously. The Secret Service believed the DDO's were counterfeit and confiscated and melted six or...
You know that's right. Maybe the way to protect the local people is to get the licensing and taxing agencies involved. The police and local...
'98 was a good year. My favorites were '75, '86, '91, and the last one before they dropped the 19th century. The old ones are a hundred...
The most recent catalog for this gold coin is $1750. The mintage though is 10,000 which is high by modern standards so I'd guess it would be a...
I believe the reason most coins get their rims removed is so they can be carried as a pocket pice and wear down much more rapidly. The rim...
It's hard to tell from th picture but I'd guess the obverse and reverse rims have been removed and then the coin got substantial circulation. The...
The '65 is probably not SMS. I can't be more than 95% confident from a photo in most cases but in this case the confidence is a little higher....
Separate names with a comma.
