Marbury my point is this. You have either a $60 (63) to $75 (64) coin that you are going to spend another $40 on to get it slabbed. You paid $60...
Marbury, save your money on slabbing that coin. It aint worth it.
This gets talked about all the time, I've posted about a couple of other times already today in fact. But I will again ;) Like I said, it's...
They were dipped.
Brianna - Since you are just starting out, let me ask you a question. If a coin is worthy of being in your collection, is it not worth spending...
Being an '81-S I can't go higher than 64. If it was another date or mint it might have a shot at 65, but no early S mint coin would.
Sure, that'll help. But those plastic bags you're using are still air permeable and air will get back into the bag over a period of time. And...

Only one thing I think that could be - an AT project gone bad.
No way of knowing because rounds are not made to any set standard so the diameter can vary greatly. But if wait until you get them, and then...
Yes, Air-Tite makes albums specifically for coins in their holders. Or you can use archival quality 3 ring binder pocket pages and put the holders...
I actually think the bottom coin has a weaker strike than the top coin does. But it is deceiving because I would agree with you that the bottom...
Pretty much all of the '93-S quarters are going to be Deep Cameo, so no, that would not raise its value.
Bedford - I readily agree that the half is very weakly struck. But I don't agree that everything on that coin is a result of that weak strike....
coins - You cannot expect, ever, to buy coins at retail prices and then sell them to a dealer, and not lose money. You are going to lose money...
