They should be recalled for proper disposal. It makes no sense to have these toxic discs in homes where young children and babies are exposed...
I couldn't agree more. Puerto Rico has sent many of its young men to fight and die in our wars and they have been instrumental in many many...
Indeed. A lot of the "missing" quarters aren't sitting in unc rolls but they're in change jars and drawers and only in AU. People tend to...
A lot of banks have no intention of supplying these to customers. Combining this with the economic downturn and the movement against cash this...
I just haven't had a lot to say recently. ;) Everything I save isn't a gem. In fact I even save some circulated coins if they are different....
Wow, am I ever jealous. I've looked at hundreds and hundreds of sets and have never found this one. As a rule of thumb typical and...
I look at a lot of coins every year and especially quarters. In a typical year since 1965 I've found about three or four nice sharp gems to save...
I mostly just take a quick look for anything that wants to jump out at me. I'll use a 4" low power very wide angle lens for going through a bag...
Cool site! I had missed it. I'm amazed at the breakdown here SNemecek. I never paid a lot of attention to the '82 cents but I paid enough...
There are lots of nuances to these. Like the '72-D is pretty easy in gem. While the mint set coins are often tarnished now days there are still...
A PL looks to be a proof at a glance. They have some of the properties of true proofs but not all. There are several differences between proofs...
I would guess it's a new strike from fresh dies. Coins like this really don't have a better chance of surviving than typical coins in modern...
I like those proof sets. I don't see many here but do have a couple of them. The mint sets are a little easier to find. That's Stuart Devlin...
I was just quoting you yesterday. I'm trying to remember who said that everyone is crazy except God and he, and that he wasn't too sure about...
In addition to the strike issues and the marking that plagues many dates there's a far more insidious problem that is going to make attractive...
It's good to see you here. I hope you enjoy it. I'd be extremely interested in knowing what the current circulating coinage is and some...
The problem is really lack of supply. There just aren't many nice quality moderns and the few people who are cherry picking are either doing it...
This is the more common type 1 set not the scarce $400 version.
Keep in mind that there is a substantial premium for the set only if all the coins are type 2. The dollar and cent have a premium by themselves...
I would hope the FED would recall these and destroy them in the name of public safety. They are highly toxic and potentially fatal so leaving...
