Well, when the bubble pops you can always resort to sticking a 2009 nickel or dime with the date face out at the ends of mixed rolls. I'm sure...
Man, looks like this thread just won't die! I never anticipated it would go this long. There would be no point in melting them down now...
I got a Belomo Triplet 10x and it's more than adequate. It came with a neat lanyard. You'd be surprised what 10x can do. BTW, I'm sure I...
What do you guys think of this nickel? I didn't win it but I know who did....
Good point. I think it was just thrown out there as an interesting, sobering idea to ponder. I had never considered it before I saw this thread....
Interesting question. I used my coin program and came up with the number in about 2 minutes. For what I would call my "true collection" face...
I've seen them for 250 at the shows. They go for 240 on ebay quite often. Probably won't find them too much cheaper than that.
As pennywise said, I think it's an affordability issue, coupled with lack of knowledge. Just look at how unknowledgeable most people are, even on...
LOL! Holy cow, you gotta be kidding me! Noost, you won again?! lol Congratulations man! You are the luckiest guy I know! Including from me,...
NO, NO, NO. That's the nickel mintages. The dime mintage is 96 million for P's right now and like 49 million for D's.
Why didn't he post mintage figures??? I'm not willing to bid unless I know what that number is. :rolleyes: ;):D Oh, 96 million of these?...
This will probably sound crazy, but look at how different the lighting was between the two. The first one has the lower light giving it somewhat...
At minimum, he's wasting $4 a piece to list each of these bogus auctions. I really don't get it and would not want to communicate with somebody...
Hmmm. As a comparison, the (dare I say) key to the series, with a mintage of only 13.5 million is the 49-S. Here's a PCGS *graded* MS-65...
Wow man! This is insane. I just checked back in and I cannot believe my eyes. I'm sure some people watching it are cointalk members here but...
I'm not big into toned coins like many but Camaro has it right. I've only purchased a couple toned Morgans. Both of them jumped out at me and...
Nothing. And people do it. But normally to an educated collector, they look bad. You can usually, easily tell the fake from the NT'd ones after...
Wow! Great contest! The first coin I purchased as a kid was probably a buffalo nickel. Back either in the late 80s, early 90s. I was...
If it was easy, everybody here would be doing it to buy more coins for their collections. Including people that are excellent at grading....
What's the problem? People use stock photos for coins all the time. Especially 70s. If it's theoretically a perfect coin with no defects, why...
