I try to stay away from that stuff for that very reason. Don't put them in circulation, though. You never know when the price of copper will sail...
Congrats. I don't know much about VAMs but it sounds like you found a good one!:smile
I can't see myself getting one unless it was real cheap. Speedy, in the ad for the $50 waffled certs, they also have ones for 40. They are...
Thanks, troll that does help. I'm not a big Bust half collector, I have a couple in my collection, but I like to have well rounded knowledge in...
Can someone give me a quick run through on what all these therms like O-116 and R5 o-109 mean? I've gathered that it has something to do with die...
I'd give them both a Net XF-40
Oh well, at least I managed to stick a Bill Belichick quote in there.:smile
Hmmm, I think I agree with GDJMSP on this one because upon furthur review, and correct me if i'm wrong, market grading is mostly for higher...

Yeah, thats what it seemed to me. They were selling NGC certs for $50. I wonder what the appeal is.
If you like the silver eagles better and the price is about even, i'd trade. I agree with Uncle Herbie, 96 silver eagles in UNC go for at least 45-50.
In the Numismatist I keep seeing ads for "waffled coins" that are a part of the "Philadelphia waffle hoard" Can someone tell me what this is all...
Peace XF-40 Morgan AU-58
Just out of curioisity, does any one know what, if anything, an authenitc gold plated 1883 nickel is worth?
That seems pretty suspicious to me because the bust is is the only part of the coin that is toned. I don't think its natural, but i'm also not a...
I agree with coindude, a little of both. You need to aquire some of both and decide which one you like better. Personally i'm a bigger fan of...
I have an 1881 S thats NGC MS-63 thats also very nicely struck, and is a borderline 64. 1881-S is the most common Morgan in Mint State, and is...
Welcome to the forum. I'm not so sure about proof grading, if you see a nicer one from an earler set you can send it to PCGS or NGC for grading...
Nice find! Congrats.
Its not worth the 15 bucks to get it slabbed. Shouldn't be that hard to get someone to buy it on E-Bay, just promote it like this. Very rare...
