Most people just have no conception how tough Ikes are in high grade or even in just nice condition. Sure, a '77 or a '78-D in near gem isn't too...
Pictures can't hurt. I'm not sure what you mean by "shrunken in". The rest of it sounds like damage.
One of the more interesting things about these modern sets is that they often represent the sole surviving population of the coins they contain in...
MS-60's are far scarcer than a '31-S Lincoln in unc. The reason prices on the modern coins is low is because demand is low. There are...
The ironic thing about it is that more rolls than usual were saved. It's just that almost all the moderns come from mint sets so the extra rolls...
It's really a good idea to save rolls for a few years to see if you're the only one who bothered, especially if they are nice rolls. No matter...
I believe this one has some value even in this condition. Someone will be along to tell you more about it and if not, I'll tell you the little...
Good question. The Krause lists it for $1600 in unc but this example obviously isn't unc. Most moderns don't get a lot of demand in XF but...
Proof coins generally have square rims and a high luster. If you look at the detail you'll also see that it's all there since they are struck...
Wholesale it's a $16 roll in unc and $14 in circulated condition. Buyers are not very active at the current time apparently. I would be...
There's a lot of variation in the thickness of coins from year to year and mint to mint. There's not much variation at a given mint during the...
Before 2005 mint set coins are indistinguisable from regular circulation issue. They were struk under greater pressure and at slower speeds...
There are lots of little design changes that can identify a coin. This is especially true on later date coins. There aren't many markers on...
Philadelphia has been closing this gap for years now. It's not just how shiny the coins are but the strike and die quality as well as the...
It's a neat error and is fairly common on the '70-D. There were also a lot on the '71-D but these are far more infrequently seen and they have...
It doesn't matter how many coins were made any longer. Really it never was the most important thing since small mintages could be saved enmass...
1958 was the last year for MINT SETS in the cardboard. PROOF SETS in the plastic sleeves in envelopes started in 1956.
A lot of these haven't really been sealed all these years. They've been steamed open and resealed or counterfeit envelopes have been bought for...
I enjoy arguement. ;) Especially with articulate people about things I love.
Krause lists the unc at $3.50 This is underrated but this coin is not scarce in high grade. It comes nice so even gems aren't overly tough....
