I have to believe this is an error and these are simply SF coins. The mint probably doesn't make more than a small handful of cents over MS-67...
Yes, but only 5 or 10% of the life of the die pair. The production of a given die pair tends to get separated somehow. It would partially be...
The typical roll had only seven or eight die pair represented in it. If there were four coins of a die pair then they'd probably be over only...
I used to spend a lot of time looking for gems and variaties issued for circulation. It's hard work and you often won't find much of anything at...
Perhaps the coin that would be most telling as to the overall quality of the set is the 1971-P. This coin is just tough enough in gem to be...
Tough call. If you have any reason to believe he put some effort into them they could be worth a great deal of money. The odds are against...
I'm not disagreeing but even where people bought more expensive items like a carriage or a house they were probably not going to pay in gold but...
What I mean is that if the gold coins were being worn out they would have to be recalled and recoined many times. Each time they came back there...
Relatively few gold coins have seen heavy circulation in history. There are numerous notable exceptions like the British gold from the 17th and...
The catalog does show a $10 value for XF but I doubt you'd find a buyer. They started making mint sets around '65 or so and after this there...
They're both good coins in unc. The 50L would be worth about $40 but won't command much in XF. Same with the centime; they're common with wear.
Right now? No. Eventually people will wake up and realize that the small dates are tough in nice condition because there are none of the P, D,...
Some of your premises are flawed. First of all saving coins in new condition went out of style in the mid-'60's. The reason for the low...
10,000,000,000 is certainly a big number and you're right that I do engage in hyperbole quite often but that's mostly just to shake up the status...
I found one in change in 1964 and sold it to a dealer for $23. It was a nice XF/ VF. The dealer said he didn't normally pay so much but he had...
The '84-D is one of the toughest cents to find nice. It had a multitude of problems from poor plating, to poor strikes, to marking and...
There was a day that you could go to any large coin show and five half a dozen gem '09-S VDB's but not a single gem '72-D with a nice strike. The...
It's definitely that nice. These sell for upward of $1000 in higher grade but I'm pretty confident this one won't make it that high. It is a...
The '22-"P" (die 2) was actually caused by polishing of the die. I believe this applies to all of the varieties of this coin. At least some...
Nice coin. It looks like it's in the top 3%ile or so. Hard to be sure from a picture.
