Yeah, the last year for circulated SF Lincolns was 1974. When the 1975 Proof Sets came out, that was the first year the SF cent was proof only,...
Well, the only way that would happen is if someone broke up the 1996 Mint Sets and spent the 96-W Dime!! Not impossible, though, I've heard...
I'd like to see them put "W's" on the cents that are minted in West Point!! Also, does anyone know why there are no P's on the Philly Lincoln...
You probably see more Canadian nickels than the new keelboat nickels! :D What I did this year is to just tack on a roll set of the nickels to...
The only thing I have to add is that coins from mint sets tend to be more valuable to the extent the coins are of higher quality than the ones...
Posted 8/9, Matte Proofs

That is a long set of initials. I was guessing the initials meant something like "G.D. Jones from Minneapolis/St. Paul" :D
Matte proofs are proof coins that have a frosted finish throughout the whole coin, including the fields, whearas a "brillant proof" has a...
I cannot bring myself to pay hundreds of dollars for a modern coin that is not rare overall. Because the ultimate pop of these is not known yet,...
Based on those photos, your 7th grade shop teacher would have been proud!! :)

Well they just had the opening cermony in Nebraska, so you will probably start seeing them soon. I have the ones in my 2004 mint sets so far.
Silver Eagle is good for single coins. If you are interested in rolls of ASEs, check out Eastern Numismatics . . . they are competetive on single...
The 18% probably "dont care" instead of "not sure". This is a silly thing to poll about. If the penny were abolished, no one would miss it after...
Well, If you honestly believe it has not been cleaned, and you have not cleaned it yourself, then sell it with a 10 day or so return privledge....
And I thought the Type I Standing Lib was the only "obscene" coin . . . LOL :D
Seems to me the really big money is made by the large auction houses (Heritage, Bowers, Superior, ANR, etc) -- they make 15% on every auction,...
Also, I would be wary of the grading of Redfield dollars as stated on the Paramount holders. I've seen many that say "Mint State 65" which are...
Well, the overall objective is to SAVE money from being able to print less $1 bills, to saving our economy from inflation by counterfeiters. As...
