(I posted this to another forum earlier, so some of you may have seen this elsewhere). I have a holed 1926-S Peace dollar that has something odd...
They did something for the Sesquicentennial in 1926, did they not?
Thought of getting my daughter an Elsa (Disney) silver coin from the NZ mint. But not for $80-90. She did get a 2013 ASE from my in-laws for...
I voted Peace Dollar. It's a graceful and beautiful design. Other favorites: SLQ, Walking Liberty Half (with the original eagle reverse, though...
Only raw. I think the consensus of most is that with the bullion versions, it doesn't make sense to get them graded. It's bullion. Now with...
Nope, no proofs. Strictly the bullion versions for me. Bought one for each of my kids in their birth year.
Right now in my pocket are a 2013 ASE and 1964 Kennedy half. Also in the rotation are an 1883-O Morgan, 1926-S Peace (holed), and 1983-S proof...
One-off commemorative and glorified bullion. Pass.
Favorite series that I collect: Franklin Halves. Peace dollars too, though I don't actively collect those. Just have a handful in my stack....
That's sucks, I sympathize with you. I've never lost a pocket piece, but I did accidently spend my first one, a Type 1 1976D Ike dollar, after...
I have snagged NIFC Sac's from circulation a time or two, but never a proof as yet. Nice find! Proofs from circulation are always fun.
The two pictures in Post #1 and the second picture in Post #7 are taken with my phone. The first pic in #7 was the Ebay seller's pic.
The mark in question on the ear is indeed a hit mark. There are four such marks on the obverse: one in Liberty's crown, one on the ear, one a...
Picked this up on Ebay a few months ago. Its diameter is a hair smaller, and a hair thicker than a known silver dollar. When I do the ping test,...
A couple of the larger dealers around here have their PM pricing sheet available on their websites, constantly updated with current spot prices.
I had a 1968 Kennedy Half my grandmother gave me that had some old dry tape residue. An overnight soak in acetone got rid of most, leaving a...
Take advantage of the free wrappers and start rolling. We'll give them out all day long at the bank where I work. Cent thru Half, Sac, and Ike.
1961 proof Franklin back in about 1995 or so. Spent under $5 for it. Once I got back into collecting about a year and a half ago, it was a 1942...
Wow. Just wow. I would totally muster up the cash for this one!
This has kind of always been my philosophy in regards to classic vs. modern series.
