Storage is most important. One of those things you regret long after the fact. My only thought might be to break the collection in two parts...
WOWsa on the Jefferson. Don't know much about the rest.
Lehigh has a point. I had missed the CAC reference
Camoro, <QUOTE FROM ABOVE> More advanced collectors (for the most part) look at this set as not being worth their time because of the lack of...
Kanga hit it on the head. Especially if you're just shooting for AG/G/VG/F coins. Buy a complete set as a starting point and then add/remove as...
Am I the only one here not seeing a full horn???? Come on people! :)
Well, here is what I use. The first image is 1960 LARGE date. Notice how the lines hit the '9'. The next image is for 1960 SMALL date....
I got a coin for this thread. A cool coin - from 1853 and the date is in Roman Numerals. A British 1853 Florin - very well circulated, :)
I'm assuming you checked the 60 and 60-D for small dates! And anything pre-1950 is a good find now-a-days, as far as I'm concerned!
Ah, the human condition. Why do people stand in line on opening nights for movies or concerts? Why do people upgrade their cars/cell phones/TVs...

The Roosevelt set in MS has become kind of like being caught between a rock and a hard spot. There are rolls and rolls and rolls of UNC roosies...
Taking coins out of the slab of the caliber your refering to is like driving a new car off the dealers lot - you lose $2000 the first 100 feet....
Oh! :) I think everyone is in agreement on that! I guess "Below Melt" would be the best answer!
There's no question this set will have a strong collector base in the future. As was said, there are many people who collect what they are...
I think the point is the tone of the article you provided a link to. It is from a dealer that is working in a soft market. There will be sub-par...
I agree 100%. Appeal to people's FEARs. That's what will work in a soft market. Make people scared NOT to go to you. According to them,...
There's an interesting thread in the "What's it worth" section about an 1886-O Morgan that was purchased raw. After three pages of comments, the...
I don't know the value of those quarters, but the trick (to me) seems to be: 1. How are you going to convince total strangers that these...
Ah yes. If I understand Coin Collecting history, there were a lot of efforts by coin dealers pushing the 1955 "poor man's double die". As I...
