Buying a coin with active corrosion is a major mistake. That is especially true with ancient copper coins, which are often green. The question is,...
Eye appeal and rarity have a big influence on me. I don't know about paying 7 times the PCGS price guide, which is high for many items. Still, I...
Not really. There is a market for dateless 1916 Standing Liberty Quarters, especially after they have been certified. It used to be $1,000, which...
I’d say they are worth 50 cents apiece and prime candidates to be sent back to the government for re-cycling. I have never understood this “low...
I agree with all of these points, except #3. If you are a type collector, higher grades trump a better date. If I had a choice between a no...
