To my knowlege there isn't a type 2 in 1916 - the change wasn't made until 1917, so the 1917 is the coin with two types (one uncovered breast and...
The ideal? Hmm...I suppose it depends on what your intent is. I enjoy collecting business strike date and mint mark sets. I don't do varieties,...
Oh buddy! The thread title REALLY caught my attention. In my two professions I've heard that phrase uttered thousands of times, and it usually...
Send it to NGC for attribution. I'm rather interested to know if that is a 1916.
Nice. I'm working on the Washington set right now. I have everything from '64 through '08 (not too worried about finding the more recent stuff),...
Yep. That company is one that sells the coins they grade. Can you say, "Conflict of interest?" PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG do not sell coins...
UPDATE: I bought it. They didn't come down as far as I wanted, but from the pictures it looks nice for the grade. I checked on their return...
You'd have to go to Europe, since the Romans didn't make their way to North America :)
I think it *might* show signs of cleaning. However, I would imagine a cleaned coin would be in someone's collection (some uneducated collector's...
Another word of advice: A lot of us have sworn ebay off as there are a LOT of con artists who sell there. You really have to be an expert to buy...
Yeah, nice work. Look at the scroll above Lincoln's head and above, "United States of America." Notice it doesn't say, "Federal Reserve Note"...
^What he said. Also, there are very inexpensive holders for coins like yours. They are white cardboard with plastic "windows" cut to the exact...
I have some from World War One. They are no where near as artistic as the ones above, and some of them are unit-specific. My friend's mother was...
I have no idea what that coin is worth, but given the condition and date I'd say a lot more than $13!!!!
I don't know much about that series of coin. I know as time progresses the amount of die rotation decreases because technology improves. I would...
You all beat me to it. I'm glad you had fun today and added some coins to your collection, but I agree that seated liberty dime has been cleaned....
I JUST JOINED!!!! :D:D:thumb::thumb::yes::yes: *dances around the room, waiting for member number so he can begin submitting coins to NGC*
I agree. This does NOT look like a VG-8. I've heard of PCGS slabs being forged, and I think this one is a prime candidate. This is CLEARLY not...
The type 1s are actually fairly easy to find. The Philadelphia mint ones will come in at lower prices, so if all you're after is an example than...
This is NOT on ebay. It's currently being advertised on Collector's Corner, which is not an auction site. The asking price is $1100 but haggling...
