The real keys are in the clad series. The '82-P is significantly scarcer than the '49-S in chU and even moreso in gem. The '69, '83, and...
There are so many things to look for that they can't be listed in a single post. The best bet is to get the cheap folders for the coins and start...
A lot of people don't realize this country is in North America. It's a French protectorate near the mouth of the St Lawrence River. For some...
I like the buffalos but the silver quarters are cheaper in decent condition.
On the bright side none of them are the DDO.
It sounds like what you're saying is that "everyone" has $3,000 to spend for rare Barbers but not everyone has lots of money to pay for high...
The buffalos were very attractive coins even after many years of circulation. These are the coins I started collecting in 1957. Most of the...
"Low mintage" is not going to make any regular issue modern valuable. The reason is that the mintages are simply far too high and even high...
You may well be right but I'm betting you're wrong. None of the regular issue clads of any denomination will be scarce or rare in unc, but...
I think people are going to be very surprised just how few of most dates of the clads will exist in unc. There weren't any rolls and bags...
There are a couple reasons. The biggest is that the government is trying to rend cash obsolete by inflating it out of existence. There are...
There are some major rarities from the '70's that are available only in pocket change. Some of the regular issues are pretty tough to find well...
Strike usually isn't much of an issue with silver Ikes in lower grades. Extremely weak strikes will show up in the eagle's feathers but...
These are graded a little tougher than the clads since they come nicer. The picture isn't good enough to really tell but my gut tells me that...
I dabble in collecting quite a few modern series by date/MM in Unc. Most of what I collect this way are older series and my favorite is the...
Wow!! This is a very underrated set. The Soviet government tried to discourage coin collecting because they felt it contributed nothing to the...
There's an '89-D/D. It's pretty obvious though.
The grading services publish data on the coins they grade. "POP" is short for population and is the number of coins they've graded to date.
You might consider keeping lightly circulated halfs if they are nicely struck and damage free of dates like '86, '82, '83, and the early '90's...
I'm pretty proud of my '82-NMM dime. It may be a die adjustment piece made before the weak strikes were produced. It has nearly razor sharp...
