The '83 coins in general had a lot of trouble with scratches and the cents had a lot of trouble with plating. They made a lot of nice '83-P...
The price guides still don't have it right but it's a massive improvement on the price guides back in 1986 that just listed every coin for 50c....
You'd be much better off looking at the faces than the edges. Everyone whose looked at the coin before you will remove it if it's silver so you...
It's a bad idea to do anything that might change it like cleaning or scratching. I've seen several '65 quarters over the years that look a...
The Oakland County medal is quite common. I'd guess most were distributed locally and the mintage was in the 5,000 area. Usually during that era...
I have a little preference for the '84 cent as a long term pick for being scarce in higher grades since the rate at which these are corroding in...
There are lots of cases where even nice serviceable specimens can be elusive. I know you're well aware of the cents that are tough but most...
Cool. His name will come to me later. I always enjoyed reading his ads and following them. While AU 1986 coins will prove to be winners in...
There was a guy who used to advertise in all the papers selling xf/ AU clads. His quality was actually pretty good but I doubt he has really...
Really! Finding any of the older clad quarters even in nice XF is getting a little tough. You might find an AU in circulatrion but you can't...
I love the mint and proof sets more than anyone but most of these deserve to die. This goes many times over for the mint sets. Most of the coins...

All mint set mintages before 1999 were combined with the regular mintages. Since 1999 they are reported separately.
The mint has made numerous conflicting statements about the mint set coins. The fact is that since 1965 a great deal of extra care has gone into...
As I tried to say there were some of these made without a trace of a mintmark and they were very popular and expensive at one time. They were...
These were pretty popular at one time and sold for prices in excess of $30. There were also a few '88-P's without mint marks being traded....
That the top of the secondary image is flat (shelf-like) is a tipoff that this is probablt ejection doubling or machine doubling. Thisa is...
Most people who like proof setsb think the SMS's are like mint sets and most people who like mint sets think they're more like proofs. This is...
Thank you very much. I love talking about coins and all I really need is an excuse. :kewl:
I said these come nice and they do but keep in mind that about 5% are ugly and unacceptable and about 30% aren't very attractive but are nice...
