I doubt they care about this one- allow me to quote from Chuck's "Looking through lincoln cents" 2nd edition: page 273-4: "Master die doubling...
I looked on eBay and couldn't find any for this die (though the history doesn't go back far- I miss being able to look back 2 months) but it often...
I'm pretty sure MD#5 is the doubling due to the master die doubled cents, which although they aren't worth a premium are still neat to look at.
Here's my sorting setup, with all the necessary components, including partially sorted cent bag- so much faster when you don't have to rip open...
I'm just amazed the guy sold them for those prices- as silver has been increasing in price I've occasionally found dealers with coins marked at or...
Maybe they're just afraid banks and McDonald's will think they're counterfeit if they release them before November!
Thanks gatzdon! Thanks for the advice, too; if I were keeping them all I might clean them but I would rather sell them with a note that says they...
Thanks for the story- it really is rewarding to find good stuff in rolls... of course I didn't mention the 1,000's I'd gone through with nothing...
Believe me, as soon as I saw them that was my first thought. I called the bank, but that customer did not bring in any other rolls. As NOS...
Thanks! The other 4 were a 1963 Franklin 2x1967 and 1968-D in XF/AU.
56 proofs out of 3 rolls of halves... ...including 5 Franklin proofs- 1957, 1958, 1960, 1962 and 1963. Also a full run of Kennedy proofs from...
I think you guys are really underestimating the value here- if it were me I wouldn't accept less than $1000, or conversely, I would consider any...
First, your reserve was really close to what you expected the final value to be. I've seldom seen a high reserve auction on eBay do well-...
Ah, I understand now what you're saying. Yeah, it seems unlikely... it'd be hard to judge without seeing it in hand but plating is a real...
I completely agree. I felt the same way about the new nickel obverse and presidential dollars, too.
I think he said it was a 1974, which would not be a bicentennial coin.
As long as you have those varieties might as well throw in a 1970-S small and large date too, if you don't already. Nice looking coins, by the way!
Pictures don't need to be magnified in this case. Is the edge a solid or mostly solid silver color with no copper color? If possible, take a...
Nice finds! It's always rewarding to come across something like that in a batch. Actually I'm surprised that your dealer wanted to buy one, most...
As has been mentioned, looks like a nice example of the RPM for that year. What is it attributed as? What were you looking for opinions on?
Separate names with a comma.
