I come across the occasionally and usdually keep them. they aren't worth more than face but are a small bit of numismatic history (or jukebox...
PCI is, shall we say, a little liberal with their policies. I am sure they will slab early release, and will be cheaper than PCGS (obvioulsy) had...
Great affect! Does it look like a die break or does it look like metal pushed back from his lip? The upper lip almost looks gouged like from...
Het in touch with Ken Potter - coin dealer. If you sent these to a grading service BEFORE issue date, they might slab them as pre-release. Ken...
I have one of these somewhere - haven't seen it in years. I do have a SC state quarter that is thin - not sure if it is dime stock or some...
Take it where? I know what you are saying, and the market may indeed feel the Baby Boom retirements, but I doubt they will drain all their...
I was wondering - can haze turn to colored toning? I seem to recall some hazy coins that went blueish. (I also have a proof half that is hazed...

When I lived in Germany (2000 bis 2005) I saved some DM before the Euro came out. As I recall, I rarely, if ever, found any from the 1950s. So,...
Actually, in Europe and elsewhere edge lettering works fine. The US Mint does have extraordinary demands for high volume production, and maybe...
Go back and re-read your original post which tried to "correct" the rest of us, and then tell me again who was being the jerk. Yes, Doug...
Disagree all you want but it is wasted energy. Nothing you said disputes the statement that the Mint issued all proof sets (in envelpes, anyway)...
I have some of these and mine are actually struck, not cast. You can see flaws in the copy dies, but they are well made from a technical...
I saw thee recently. The next discussion - how diffeern are they reallt from the NORFED/Liberty Dollars of today? An interesting comparison to...
I'd like to get my hands on these, or at least see them. I have the anti-war ones but have not heard of the others. Sounds like fun, and a great...
