Vess is correct there absolutely is a dilution of collectors. The last few coin shows I went to 95% of the people were dinosaurs like myself....
Besides the spike in silver and silver coin prices, other coin prices which were dormant for many years have increased over the last few years...
1968 cinco centavos on the shelf with a few brownies, one I tossed and the other 2 cleaned up. NGC claims this is worth .20 cents in VF and .50 in...
Yes but if this is "genuine" it's a monster value. Coin prices have skyrocketed recently and I would think that just drags errors right along with it.
If several digits are heavily over inked or an area is real smushy with ink than that is probably good. 1 digit that is just bolder than the rest...
As for the flip over, the only thing I can think of is the coin is being ejected, it doesn't get out and it flips over and is struck again. Yes it...
The more ink the better. This is a common thing and one digit slightly over inked is not going to draw a premium.
Nice find. You cold prob let it soak in distilled water to remove dirt. And then air dry or pat very lightly. VG-08 details?

3rd party grading is bad for the hobby. Look at what grading did to sports card collectibles. It's not a hobby for kids anymore, it is a business...
Discoloration from the center obverse high points, and reverse bottom center indicates cleaning. If not for that I would be much higher than...
I have a number of these. You can see in photo 8 the 1888 obverse die clash which was frequent with this series (either side.)

The Walkers are all worn because in those days a half was a very common circulating coin. Once the value of a half was reduced, inflation etc. And...
Started out to be a horrendous disaster. Picked up a little but it was still weak. Happy to go over 10,000 quarters. (And 7000 dimes recently.)The...
It's not a coin. I dug something like that up metal detecting. I have a photo somewhere. No silver in that.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I like the coin very much. I am not sure I agree on the grade. I used to live very near Longmont. Unless all that stuff is just on the holder I...
Found this one metal detecting. Under the swings in some wood chips. [ATTACH]
Dime in the slot. That kick is coming closer to my head.
36 cents in the slot. I guess it's better than a kick in the head. Barely.
