LOL !! - hardly :D He is however a dear friend and a member of this Forum ;)
I have been a proud member of the Coin World Forum for a loooooooong time. I would strongly recommend that anyone who wishes to engage in trading...
jimmiejam I will say this - you really SHOULD move to Florida !! With your luck at finding things - you could retire after the first year :D
In the interest of fairness I will make an additional comment on my original reply. I will readily admit that not ALL dealers overgrade their...
It really depends on the set - the year it was issued. For a great many US Mint & Proof sets the individual coins are indeed worth more than the...
Leivaj - You can make all 10 of your posts in one day if you wish - they do not have to be made 1 per week. Welcome to the Forum !!
One minor point to clarify here - in both of the '81 sets, type 1 and type 2 - the S is clear. The '81 type 1 is not a blob like the '79 type 1....
You are now officially doomed :p The point of no return has been passed :D From here on out - in your eyes - the beauty of US coinage...

JBK - Think about it - a small, thin piece of material breaks from the machinery ( not the die ) and lands on top of the planchet. When the...
Go to ebay - check the realized prices for coins just like yours. Look it up by date & country - find one that looks similar to your coin in...
Howdy yoda3001 - Welcome to the Forum !! If I may, I would suggest that you do not worry too much about having the coins for your son's...
I don't know about being able to find everything about anything - seems like I can NEVER find what I want to find for me :( But thanks for the...
Why would you want to sell it ? The 1919 penny you mentioned in your other post is likely worth, at the most, 1 dollar perhaps 2. And that is if...
You would have to send your coin to one of the grading companies like NGC, PCGS, ANACS etc etc. They can easily be found by using any internet...
It would depend entirely on who wanted to purchase such a coin and how badly they wanted it. But I would be very surprised if anyone would pay...
Learning to grade initially is not that difficult - do what has already been suggested. What takes time is becoming good at it. Skill in...
