There is a product limit for the three piece set of 10,000. I don't know if they will hit that number or not. You might consider ordering it...
Blame this mint director who is "collector hostile" in my opinion. He puts out polls asking "How am I doing?" now and then. If I get one I'd give...
The Proofs are a bit sharper with more detail on the buffalo's cape and coat. The experts also claim that "LIBERTY" is sharper, but I have not...
Well, it’s obvious that you have a thing for 1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar, @charley. The coin is not on my want list, nor will it ever be. It just...
Yes, it seems like the half dollar, far more often than not, get the best designs, especially when you compare them with the silver dollar.
I think that nickel might have a struck-through error on the right of the obverse. :chicken::wacky:
I have generally weened myself off of the modern commemorative coins, but I decided to buy this set. It's been a tough year for the police, and I...
I've lost count for the number of times that people have posted pictures of damaged coins saying that they have mint errors. The first couple of...
I always under grade circulated Standing Liberty Quarters. It looks like a VF-30 to me, but I'll bet you it's headed for an EF-40 holder. My grade...
Okay, I stand corrected, but that tiny change in the alloy does not constitute a type coin.
I believe that there is some sort of a problem with that Proof Buffalo Nickel. If the PCGS "glammor shot" is accurate, the surfaces on the obverse...
Okay, @charley, what is the source of your information? Dave Bowers does not agree with you in his type coin book. I can't find any source that...
They were not Matte Proofs; they were Proofs that had a duller, satin finish, not the brilliant finish. There were also satin finish and brilliant...
I would send to NGC. It looks better than the one my collection. The trouble Proofs is that they are bears of photograph. I can do pretty well...
Many coins in the 1970s mint sets were horrible.
Where did you get that information? If you look at "The Red Book" the standards are the same for the 1836 and 1837 Reed Edge, "Fifty Cents" revere...
There is nothing "technical" about that grade. It's just plain wrong.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] No, the 1837 is the same type.
The PR-66 grade should have you "OOing" and "AHing" when you see the coin. "Yuck!" should not be in the discussion.
Color can cover up a lot of sins. That's one reason why coin doctors have used it for as long as I have been a collector.
