About 6 months ago I broke open a first generation PCGS holder to remove a Double Eagle. I used a vise, a shop towel, 2 flathead screwdrivers, a...
No. Few proofs were ever minted. Sometimes none were minted and sometimes only a dozen or so in a particular year. Almost all DEs were meant for...
Looks legit to me. Then I'd have to ask why someone would bother falsifying a coin that is one of over 44,000,000 minted, and one of the less...
Tough to tell the grade from that photo. Could be AU though.
Yep, sure do. I go through all of it. I keep every penny older than 1982, all nickels older than 1960 and, oh yeah, anything silver. Haven't...
Bone- that is quite the shirt. You could wear it the next time you do any car maintenance. I've rid myself of many unwanted articles of clothing...
I think the Franklin half is one of the most under appreciated US coins of all time. Then again, I like the Ike dollar, the Peace dollar, and...
Right, but I was thinking 2002 more because production of the Kennedy half was seriously curtailed in 2002, to about 1/3 or less of previous...
What years are you buying? I'd think anything 2002 and newer could have potential because so few were minted and they are hardly ever seen in...
Yeah, that guy created quite a buzz at the bank. The tellers knew I was a coin collector so they put the question to me: Is there any gold in the...
It is sadly ironic, isn't it? American Indians were on much of the most beautiful US coinage of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Gold pieces instantly...
We get Sacs at work every so often. People act really strange when they spend them, like they are letting go of something truly valuable. Eh, I...
Looks like a solid F-12, maybe F-15 on a good day? The reverse helps. Sorry for the double post- my browser hung. :rolling:
My second year of searching has been rather slow thus far. I've had limited spotty success- a few coins here and there, but nothing to get too...
Ah, no silver has been used in business strike quarters since 1964. They are copper-nickel clad with a copper core, hence my dilemma.
Got an interesting quarter at work on Wednesday. It's a 1965 (no mint mark), but it "sounds" and looks different. I'd swear it was a silver clad,...
I might even go AU-50. Nice coin, Bone.
Cleaned? A case can be made for that. Strike is good. Eagle's feathers and shield look pretty nice. Tick marks on obverse, but Liberty's hair is...
Hmmmm.....Me thinks she is a solid MS-62.
It kind of looks cleaned in the photos. I'd say EF-45.
