Ike Dollars sell for a slight premium at coin shops, dealer tables at coin shows, flea markets, etc. but if you don't have one of those avenues in...
You are probably going to be disappointed.
Have you ever thought that the coin is priced higher because it is PQ and not simply because it has a "bean" sticker?
You don't give us much info to work with but 1890 IHC is not a rare coin and would be worth $250 only in higher MS or Proof. In this instance I...
I would say that you did well. You can narrow down the range of dates to 1938-2003 (excluding 1943-1945). If the area below Jefferson's bust was...
That is one nice Large Cent! Full rims and full denticles and a great strike. LIBERTY is a bit weak so it may not be a Proof, perhaps just an...
Yes, that is a very nice cud and an error collector would pay a premium for it. Nice find!
The SBA Dollar is dated 1979, 1980, 1981 or 1999. The multi-sided rim is a design feature intended to help users differentiate the coin from a...
Your Caps Lock is on.
This is the first "missing planchet" coin I have ever seen. :smile
I agree. I have an 1815 Large Cent (1845 altered to 1815) that looks just like that.
It is hard to tell anything for sure from the scan but it looks like it could be a small die chip on the mintmark.
Do we really need two threads for the same coin? http://www.cointalk.com/t210183/
That half certainly did not leave the Mint in that condition. Someone with some time to kill flattened the edge of the half with a hammer and an...
What you are describing is a double strike, not strike doubling. Strike doubling occurs when the die chatters or moves laterally immediately after...
If you know what to look for the difference between a doubled die and strike doubling is PLAIN AS DAY....
Die cracks do not look like that. I would pass.
Die cracks of this sort are common on Morgans. These particular cracks can be used to identify which VAM you have.
That is true. A collector could put together an inexpensive grading set for close to melt value if he wanted to. My point was this particular coin...
Why? The grade is irrelevant. It is only worth melt value unless it grades MS-65 or higher (which it does not).
