Yeah, I definitely won't bring it up with the dealer. I will, however, go back and see if they have might have more 1983 sets that could be from...
I was just going through some proof sets that I recently purchased, including a 1983 set I picked up at a local coin shop for $5. While I didn't...
So does anyone know if Dansco will make an updated page to cover all these varieties? My current 8100 album has 12 holes for the 2009 cents (P,...
I'll be driving down there this year. I'm looking forward to it. It will be my first really big show. And, yes, admission should be free.
The Red Book makes the distinction, but they just don't label them well. What the Red Book calls "First S" is type 1, and what they call "Clear...
True, but in addition to the outside edge, the rings of plastic around the coins are also sealed, and that's where the danger seems to be, in my...
That's actually a really good idea. I have a smaller camera bag (designed for an SLR with a decent-sized lens) that would probably work well for...
I'd imagine there are other places to get them, as I see people with hard copies quite often (subscriptions maybe?), but whenever I need one...
I'm pretty new to this, but it looks like a portion of the steps is showing under where the steps should be, between the top of the N and T in...
I was considering doing the same thing for tomorrow's show in Kent, WA. But there's so much on there, I was thinking it might be earlier to just...
That's pretty much what I did, but I had a few problems with the fused rings of plastic around the coins breaking badly and leaving pieces of...
I can definitely see your point, especially if you're talking about a person with a bulky, heavy backpack. Personally, mine would probably be near...
Since I've read some conflicting information online, is it generally considered acceptable or poor etiquette to carry a backpack around at a coin...
I've found that the plastic cases used for the 1973-79 proof sets seem to be very difficult to open safely. While later (and some earlier) proof...
Thanks for your help, everyone. Kris
Thanks. I had just read a few places not to rely on the S being filled or clear alone, so I wasn't sure about the quarter and the nickel, as the...
Thanks. That was one of the pages I read about this, but I'm still unsure about a couple of the ones I posted. It's clear to me that the half...
I'm trying to identify whether each of these 1979 S mintmarks (originally from a single proof set) is type 1 or type 2. I have my ideas about...
I originally collected for a year or two around 1989-90 when I was 10-11 years old. For some reason, I abandoned it for many years, but as of...
