What do you think "driving out" means exactly? It means that the coins are no longer used for commerce. If they are not used, then where do they...
Mumu, do you understand what Gresham's law actually says or means? I suggest you read the Wikipedia article about the subject, and then report...
The colors on that nickel literally look like they were applied with a paintbrush. Until proven otherwise, I am going to assume that's exactly...
I absolutely guarantee you that coin has not only been dipped, but polished harshly with a wire brush as well. The unnaturally white surfaces,...
Its been too long since I've bought any of these, so when I saw them my itchy trigger finger slipped and bought them both. Guessing the grades...
Very nice coins. That 41S Walker is amazingly well struck - if you ever decide to sell her, please let me know.
Chris, my point is that halves were silver while everything else wasn't. I'm talking about the mid- to late- 60's. If they were losing popularity...
That is a gorgeous coin! The simple explanation for PCGS' grade is: they don't designate PL on anything but Morgan and Canadian coins. I don't...
Ah, yeah, I prefer to have them already labelled as such by NGC. That takes out all the ambiguity of a photograph. Very few make the cut, but the...
Yes, please send or post the link. I looked on Ebay quickly, but didn't see it.
Wrong. The half dollar still contained 40% silver from 1965-1970 - no other denomination did. According to Gresham's law, therefore, the half...
I find it hard to believe that a question with three pages of posts, and only one correct answer so far. Gresham's law is indeed the cause of...
Was it NGC graded, and if so, where and how much?
:bump: for the weekend crowd, like myself.
Do you have better pictures of this coin that you can post? Looks like a good coin. Tell me, is it on a wavy planchet, or has it been...
Well, this appears to be a resurrected thread, but let me say I enjoyed it immensely. I'll add my article about Die States, which seems quite...
I very much enjoy Heritage's new pictures. Some of their pictures however, especially for lower value coins, are still not so great. Lehigh is...
I love Hitchcock, but I haven't seen Psycho. I hear its more horror type move than his others, which I would call more suspense type. I detest...
That is very nice, topcat. I'll guess NGC graded it 65, no FBL. Here is mine, a 64FBL which I would like to upgrade at some point: [img] [img]
In returning to the OP - it is very hard to get NGC to recognize DMPL, or even PL, with toning. A well toned DMPL is incredibly rare, and worth a...
Separate names with a comma.
